Well, it’s less than two hours before puck drop and no thread. So here’s a bare bones thread to kick off this match up between two very evenly matched teams

A day game against the best team in the NHL. What could go wrong?

5-0 Bruins

A day game against the best team in the NHL. What could go wrong?

5-0 Bruins

That would mean the Jackets would have one goal in the last three games……very doable.

 

[KJ Dangler]

Tarasov in net … anyone else alarmed that his starts seem to be implemented to protect Elvis confidence . His starts have consisted of Boston x2, Carolina , NYR , TBL x2, FLA, Vegas .

 

[ViD]

Everything points to an imminent CBJ loss.

CBJ wins 4-2.

 

[LJ7]

Everything points to an imminent CBJ loss.

CBJ wins 4-2.

It does seem like the opponent doesn't matter for this CBJ team sometimes

 

[Jovavic]

This should be a laugher with Marchand/Bergeron/Pasta getting 10 points between them. Tarasov will need to have the game of his life, especially since the offense seems to disappear on the road recently.

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

Never thought I'd say this, but the game is too early for me.

Not expecting much though...

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

This game is critical to our draft position. When we draft in the sixth slot, we'll say if we didn't lose this we would have drafted third.

Yes, this would be a dumb game to win. We are a dumb team. We will win 4-3.

Tarasov is starting

Boston gives up the least amount of goals this year too while scoring the 2nd most.

How can you protect confidence when he doesn't have any?

 

[ViD]

Columbus has the least road points in the NHL, Boston has the most home points - we are certainly winning tonight.

I’m watching Bruins feed today, let’s see what this Jack Edwards is about

 

[JacketFanInFL]

NHL network announcer worried The blue Jackets *becoming* a loser mentality franchise if they trade away veterans. Has he seen our history?

They're concerned about current players on the roster, not the fanbase.

That’s a man that calls the game right down the middle.

That’s because he is arguably the best goalie we have. If Elvis plays his C game (versus A or B level) then we don’t stand a chance.

Easy solution .. send the kids to AHL where they play heavy minutes , and play for the cup. Not really a concern at all, as the core can be sent down

 

[JacketFanInFL]

That Boston power play is an absolute pleasure to watch. Artistry.

 

[Cowumbus]

The Bally sports app will not let me watch the Jackets anymore, wtf
