I know this season's pretty close to, if not already lost, but I reallly want to see a win. I know this game means a lot to Hartnell.

 

[WannabeFinn]

I'm just hoping we don't get destroyed single handedly by Giroux like that last time McBackup started in Philly

If we lose I hope its because of Giroux & Jake. Have them both on one of my fantasy teams.

Best outcome - we win 6-5 with each of them having 2g's & 2 a's.

 

[BluejacketNut]

Critical? I think so

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

Jackets give up a couple early ones, settle down, get one back, proceed to give up the next two, and then get one late for a 4-2 loss.

Bottom two lines will be lucky to get 5 shots on goal combined.

 

[DarkandStormy]

Can two lines play 30 minutes each? Is it possible?

 

[EspenK]

As we look for bright spots, there is always this:

“I've had a lot of trouble tracking the puck in the lighting," Mason said last week. "I don't know the right term. It's just a weird glow out there. With how bright it is, you think it would be clearer.

"It's almost too white out there, if that makes any sense."

Meh, that was 10 days ago. He's had three starts since, all at home. He went 3-0 with a .955 save percentage with a 1.67 GAA in those three games. Now, the opponents were Colorado, Florida, and Edmonton...but we're also basically the worst or 2nd-worst team in the league right now. I would say Mason has improved since his 0-4-1 start but also hasn't faced top competition either (and he won't again tonight).

 

[Nordique]

No brilliant insight here, but If we can play like we did in the last 2 periods vs Washington, we have a chance.

 

[cbjfaninmo]

Hartnell with the Gordy hatty. I just hope he is not in the penalty box too much. A win tonight would be huge. Go Jackets!!

 

[BluejacketNut]

Memo to the team, the game starts at 7pm, not 7:50

 

[Jaxs]

Mason....Mason...Mason.

Mojo.

 

[Dr. Fire]

Another game, another loss.

 

[GoJackets1]

****ing critical.

 

[CBJRzeznik]

I am psyched for a weekend full of Columbusfield Blue Falcons Hockey!

Bob back on the active roster, Forsberg back to Springfield, according to the Jackets website.

Just got the text alert on this.

Funny, it wasn't two days ago they were telling us he was a week away from being back. Looks like they don't want CMac anywhere near the net so a desperation move was required. Then again, maybe CMac will still be in net tonight and Bob sits as back-up, and comes in after CMac gets pulled.

*EDIT*

Just saw Rimer's tweet, and he says Bob will be the back-up tonight.

Isn't it Portzline the one who said a week and Rob Mixer said something like day to day?

 

[Dednimnepo]

This is some sort of weird karma or curse, looking forward to this game and envious that Philly gets to start Mason in net.

 

[Cowumbus]

Hopefully mason plays like he did when he was on our team..
6-3 philly

 

[LoveCBJ]

Positive thoughts. Let's go Jackets!!

 

[aRussian]

I have beer and backup plans; came prepared if we decide upon another meltdown

 

[BluejacketNut]

Nice Fox, put together a terrible skit, and then completely botch it

 

[SuperGenius]

Not sure how this is going to go, but it feels like a 9 goal, 150 PIM game.
