...well, the last time we were running into a lot of injuries with only Korpisalo able to be in net he turned in a performance that got him nominated to the All-Star Game. So...

 

[Finner]

One of the hardest decisions. Super Bowl or CBJ. CBJ has over 40games left and theres 1 super bowl so i take super bowl this time. Weekend or what is that shit laptop artist gives great time to watch highlights. Big game tonight, hopefully players are ready!

Highlights of the Canes' last game:

Canes fan here, there were few highlights of that Hawks game. The Canes had a few 4-6 minute runs of domination then sat back like they could just beat the Hawks by showing up. it wasnt a fun game to watch

 

[Derailed75]

Hate playing the Jackets. I'm originally from near Cleveland but moved to southern VA long before the Jackets, became a Cane fan and loved you guys being in the West so I could root for both. Good luck Torts makes you guys a tough out regardless of the talent and they keep adding talent.

 

[LazyCircuits]

The game starts at 3 PM EST

This is the first Jackets game in ages that is at a reasonable UK start time and that I won’t miss due to other commitments. I’m really looking forward to it.



This means the score will be
Carolina - a few
Jackets - 0

 

[Winland]

Am I the only one who doesn't like the line Laine - Roslo - Atkinson?

 

[LetsGOJackets!!]

Most people will be pregaming for the SB, I will be glued to this game. This will be a tough one, but anticipate a 3-1 win for the Blue Jackets LETS GO!!!!

Where's the unlike button?

I am just tired of all the line changing. Really bad analogy coming: when you put the pudding in the fridge to gel, you have to leave it so it can do its thing. If you keep pulling it out every five minutes and give it a stir it will never gel

 

[MoeBartoli]

I’ll be curious to see the new lines. I’ll be even more curious to see how long the new lines last.

Doesn’t chemistry among linemates take a little time to develop? Sometimes it seems Torts treats it like it’s 10 minute speed dating event.

We could always bring up Veini Vehviläinen to join the Finn fest.

Laine 3g 1a 5hits

7-4 CBJ

If he has a goal and an assist he will fight someone...maybe Aho, if he has scored and assisted, too.
Both get their Gordie Howe hatties.
