[Old Guy]

I hope we cream those punks.

Been waiting since October to post in this thread.

 

[Halfboard]

After the .....meh?............of their play the last couple of weeks, it's finally here.

It's on, comrades........

 

[GoJackets1]

I've been so nervous about this for a day now. Go Jackets.

 

[Columbus Mike]

Feeling so much more confident just because of the win over Toronto. It's going to be a long, slow day at work. F5 key, don't let me down.

 

[We Want Ten]

 

[Inglewood JACKets]

Man I can't wait for it to start. I'm getting anxious.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Someone asked in another thread about Skraut's videos. On of his best was the the song below, but I won't post his vid here because it's from like 2011 or whatever and features **** ******. But anyway, WeWant10's post made me think of it.

 

[Monk]

Murder these *****es.

 

[WannabeFinn]

I'm excited as **** boys. Playoffs!

 

[Jaxs]

If the Jackets play the north south game and not try to get fancy at the blue lines, they will win this game and series. This will mean their fore check is going and the Pen D will be turning over pucks. No D corps likes eating the end boards all game.

Make it happen Jackets.

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

Just win, baby.

 

[Socks]

Survive the first 10 minutes then anything is possible.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Have to watch on the iPad tonight - just hoping I don't find myself throwing it across the room. Go Jackets! Whoop on those Pens!

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

Jackets need to get through the initial 5 or 10 minutes and then settle-in. Think the first game in the series favors the more experienced team, particularly when they are playing at home. Bob needs to be huge.

 

[Privet]

So excited! Definitely had a bad sleep last night because I was so excited!

I don't think the concern is that initial 10 minutes. Both teams will be hard and fast coming out of the gate. It's navigating the rest of the game that will be interesting, IMO.

I think this first game will answer a lot of questions.

 

[CBJfan44]

Can't wait!

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I am feeling very positive.

 

[KJ Dangler]

Praying that Bob can have the game of his life tonight, and we put a statement game up tonight. Could you imagine up 1-0 on the road against Pittsburgh Man I love hockey .

 

[Miggus]

The importance of first goal might be a cliché, but I'm still gonna go ahead and say that the first goal is going to be absolutely huge not only for the game, but I predict that the team scoring it will eventually win the series. Jackets have to come out of the gate strong and take the lead.

 

[Jive Pawnbroker]

I'm as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

That said, let's steal this one and get home ice.

 

[CarolinaBlueJacket]

First to three goals loses

 

[Privet]

7:30 PM EST can't come soon enough! Argh!
