Let´s hope they will still suck

Thanks for the thread!

We have to win tonight. Losing to the two CA teams along with the long break has sucked. Have to win tonight!

No kidding. At this point it's almost like:

Wait, the Minnesota Wild? Who?

Exactly! That's precisely it.

[WILDTATE10]

Wait.. the seasons not over?

the wild better not be a slumpbuster for a 3rd team. if we lose i hope the wild get boo'd off the ice.

 

[Rise from the Ashes]

Huge test for Dubnyk tonight. Will need to be sharp against a team that will be playing with fire.

 

[Randy BoBandy]

I don't want to see Columbus win a game. Lets kick them while they are down

 

[keppel146]

We beat torts team before. Shouldn't be any different. Need a win otherwise I'll be concerned

 

[tomgilbertfan]

The first game the Wild plays in 14 years and I've got class.

 

[FVM]

Prediction: Blue Jackets will play with a ton of hustle, trying to impress the new coach. Wild will be rusty after the break, and Dubnyk continues to be shaky. 3-4 loss. Just don't have a good feeling about this game.

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

I don't have a great feeling since they're going to come out flying, but there are some compensating factors being that we're at home thankfully and we're simply a better team than they are. Close game at the end maybe, but I still think we win. 4-2 with ENG.

Seriously don't get this new coach thing. These guys at the level their at because of the competitiveness. Thinking they will be anymore competetive/motivated then us is just plain dumb.

Not true. New coaches throw out everything that the old coach did, including lines. It happens across all sports. New manager/coach comes in and everyone plays like they're trying to make the team.

It's important to remember that Richards was coach before Kekalainen took the GM job in Columbus. I was pretty surprised they kept him around then, as there's always the temptation to bring in your own guy. I have to imagine that meant his leash was a little bit shorter than most coaches'.

 

[keppel146]

I still think we get the W tonight, 3-1 wild

 

[gphr513]

The crucial thing will be to not allow an early goal. Even if it means 0-0 after 20 minutes. An early CBJ lead will probably have them buzzing.

However, an early Wild goal might bring on a case of "Here we go again" for them. New coach or not.

 

[Minnesota]

Phoenix Wright!

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

Ha, I love that one. Where's Edgeworth?

Yes. Humiliate them so badly they decide to tank this year. We do a trade for RyJo after the game, so when the CBJ plane leaves he ain't on it!
