I absolutely hate arenas with burgundy seats. I'm looking at you Wells Fargo Center. You too, Value City Arena!

Win tomorrow and we're suddenly just a couple points off being right there with anyone else in the division sans Pittsburgh despite missing half our lineup. Meanwhile other than the Rangers the other teams have been healthy and had plenty of hot streaks/fortunate games; these things always balance out over the course of a marathon 82-game season. The Jackets' timing is coming. Might not be right now but I'm confident that when everyone's back, we'll roll off 3, 4, 5 in a row and suddenly be 2nd in the division and people will wonder why they went Chicken Little after 10 games.
Is it just me or, with his new porn stash, does Jody look like a big, mean, beat-up Freddy Mercury?
My three stars for the night:
Wennberg
Cracknell
Tropp
They hemmed in the Flyers for most of their ice time. That's all you can ask.
In all seriousness Wiz, Foligno, Erixon, and Joey were all outstanding tonight, and deserve their stars.

No idea what standings you are looking at. Assuming that no one wins ahead of us, we're still 3 or more points back with all the teams having games in hand. It's very bleak.
What you are looking for is point over or under .500. A win tomorrow and we're still 4 under. Only Carolina is close.
We could win 5 in a row and we'd still be out of the playoff picture. I'm confident, but not that confident.
Once this team gets most of the guys back, they could very easily go on a 5-game win streak - or two.

Dude, 3 points with well over SIXTY games to play is not bleak. That's kind of the whole point. It would be very bleak ... with 7 games left. 7 games to make up 3 points? That's the kind of position that fans often find themselves in, and they're not sure whether to root for wins and eeking out a wildcard, or losses and better draft position. My point is that this early in the season, to be 3 or 4 or 5 points out from 2nd/3rd/4th with all the Jackets have gone through is JUST fine.
oh no. did he return?
on a different note, in the event we are on the outside looking in at the playoffs this year, does Foligno go at the deadline?
We're 7 pts out. Not that bleak, agreed. But you keep getting the numbers wrong.

I would hope not. He's a core piece going forward. If he maintains his current pace of scoring, then negotiations could become pretty rough and that could give a reason for the FO to ship him out for the always overrated draft picks. I hope that they're not that inept.
I say that would be crazy stupid. He's one of our best leaders, and a young guy just now entering his prime. That should be exactly the kind of guy we want to build around.

Wonder if they'll ever give him a start during a game in Columbus. Because that could be amazing.
