Stinker or not, NJ is a bottom feeder and we have to win these types of games and bank the points.

Going to potentially miss part of this one as today is my aunt's birthday, and we didn't think scheduling a lunchtime gathering would conflict with anything. Oops.

(No, I don't have a good excuse for missing yesterday, other than "I'd had a long week and was really tired and thought it was 7pm")

 

[MAHJ71]

Forgot we had back to back early slate games.

Lets get it on!!!!

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

I'm too hungover for this!

Kidding, of course. I will head to a bar to watch the Browns and the Jackets.

Also, I stopped in Old Skool last night and there was no one in there. The smell of smokey goodness was still in the air. I will have to try their smoked wings

Bob is playing again today. Sounds like an official vote of no confidence in Korpisalo going forward.

Sounds like a dumb move, esp since Bob probably has a giant bruise on his collar bone tonight.

Let’s Go Jackets!!!

3rd game in 4 days too. Granted they get 3 days completely away from the ice on the break but I'm really surprised Korpi didn't get a start in 1 of the 2 games this weekend. He hasn't seen the ice since he allowed that one to sneak past him along the post in the Vancouver game.

I think we squandered too many points away against low level teams earlier in the season. With both the Caps and Pens hot, the Jackets can't afford to lose.

I mean it's Torts. Mr "i don't believe in getting tired, they are professional athletes." They will have a break after that, but guy was stunged by that shot in 1st period, so he was jumping like a bunny to avoid getting shot in that area again. But Torts didn't have any sympathies to him, when he was complaining about his chest protector. So..

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

Slow start, but Jackets score on first opportunity!

 

[MoeBartoli]

My man, Bjork!

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

I bet Ville Leino couldn’t have made that pass

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

That was a Murrayesque pass from Wennberg

 

[NotWendell]

2 goals on 2 shots? Can't maintain that percentage all day! LOL

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

They can if they never put another shot on goal. That looks quite possible right now.

Darn it. You jinxed us!

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Kind of surprised Bob is in the net. Seemed like a korpisalo game

 

[Madifer]

Or maybe Bob convinced the management that he needs more TOI to maintain/improve his game. Either way: Korpi should be playing today, especially when its NJD they are facing.

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

Power play is so bad. No excuse with guys like Cam, Bread and Jones for it to be this bad. Hopefully they make me eat my words on this second PP.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

2 goals on 2 shots? Can't maintain that percentage all day! LOL

Un-sus-tainable

Clap-clap
Clap-clap-clap

 

[MAHJ71]

New day.

Same power play.

 

[Viqsi]

Just got in, and there's no way that shot count is accurate. It can't be.

 

[CharlotteJacket]

Can't we see the NJ player in the way of where we're trying to pass.
