Dear Lord, no 6OT game...win or lose, I wouldn't make it to game 3.

Go Jackets, find some legs to forecheck with.

 

[Bookker]

Please Torts, put Tex back with PLD on that 1st line instead of Foudy.
You saw that chemistry.
We have not 38 skilled combinations that work / can create some nice plays.

Use Foudy a lot tho, obviously.
(we need speed everywhere)

Let's go Blue Jackets

 

[Cyclones Rock]

I predict that today's game will not be as long as game 1. You read it here first.

 

[Bobcat110]

CBJ are undefeated in all games following 5OT losses.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

CBJ are undefeated in all games following 5OT losses.

Check yous stats again, bro. They've never won a game under such circumstances.

That's why this one is so critical.

 

[The Land 216]

Cam Atkinson and Gerbe out. Shore and Bemstrom in today

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Cam Atkinson and Gerbe out. Shore and Bemstrom in today

We sort of played game one without Cam so I don't expect much of a difference.

 

[DarkandStormy]

Andrew Peeke on the ice at least for warmups.

 

[ViD]

Cam Atkinson and Gerbe out. Shore and Bemstrom in today

Might just be an improvement actually

 

[ViD]

Andrew Peeke on the ice at least for warmups.

Is Gavrikov a game time decision or Murray expired again ?

 

[stevo61]

Hope Shore comes out with some physical energy, team could use it. Also hope Bemstrom gets some offensive looks, hasnt been what we hoped for yet but he has a goal scorers shot

 

[DarkandStormy]

Lines go:
42-18-28
71-38-19
14-10-20
50-74-52

Same D pairs.

Both are in, apparently.

 

[rotsbu]

Cam Atkinson and Gerbe out. Shore and Bemstrom in today

Not surprised to see lineup changes today but wouldn't have guessed Cam would be scratched

 

[DarkandStormy]

Jeff Svoboda is reporting Elvis is the backup. The team's own twitter account says Kivlenieks.

Disregard - typo from Jeff apparently.

 

[Monk]

Lines go:
42-18-28
71-38-19
14-10-20
50-74-52

Same D pairs.

I like these lines.

Interested to see what Foudy does with Fligs and Jens

 

[stevo61]

I like these lines.

I like parts of these lines but the 4th line seems like it has potential to not be used much unless Robinson continues to skate hard and Shore throws some hits early

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

I like parts of these lines but the 4th line seems like it has potential to not be used much unless Robinson continues to skate hard and Shore throws some hits early

It would virtually be a suicide mission if this team tries to roll only 3 lines after that last game.

 

[Monk]

Interested to see what Foudy does with Fligs and Jens

I'm expecting to see 3 guys flinging the puck willy-nilly at the net a lot.

 

[Monk]

I have a 3:30 meeting. Post well and with much detail, friends!

 

[Fro]

I took a lot of CBJ in my draft kings so either I am really smart or really dumb

 

[aRussian]

Not upset Cam is out since he no-showed so far despite all his talk of wanting to step up. Talk is cheap.

Hopefully a hungry player can step up. Our offense is already anemic without our more offensive players not showing up. Nyquist is next on my list to scratch

 

[Viqsi]

Cam isn't a healthy scratch. Deemed "unfit to play".
