Hopefully the Canucks don't overlook Columbus. We all know the Blue Jackets are awful, but I've been impressed with their work ethic when I've seen them play this season.

 

[canuck4life16]

can't take the BJ lightly........they almost beat the unbeaten blackhawks.......so this is NOT an easy win

 

[Samzilla]

Is Newell Brown fired yet?

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

 

[PG Canuck]

Please, please, win.

Flames are awful too, and the sharks have been pretty bad lately.

Of course the Canucks are awful lately, so meh.

 

[Pip]

gonna be pretty pissed if we dont win this one

Who is in goal for CBJ? Bobrovsky or Mason?

If we can get as many shots off as against SJ, im sure this one is ours.. Not as scared of Bob or Mason as I am off Niemi.

But as others say, do not underestimate CBJ, and thus im not going to predict anything as all my predictions always become anti-anti jinx!

 

[Orca Smash]

Hopefully its mason, bobrovsky came in relief in the edm game and looked pretty good last night.

Yeah, saw that...

Hopefully it's not one of those games where Bobrovsky really want's to prove he is better than Mason...

 

[Vankiller Whale]

Mason or Bobrovsky are fine, as long as it's not sme random AHL goalie, then we're in trouble.

 

[Reign Nateo]

Canucks had better be ready to work. Columbus winning a lot of battles lately and will take a complete effort to get a win.

If you're thinking of buying a custom jersey, please don't be 5 years old.

 

[Master Radishes]

As others have already said, Columbus isn't going to be the easy opponent they once were. Aside from being on a 2 game winning streak, if you break down their losses: 12/16 have been one-goal losses (or two-goal w/ EN), and they haven't lost by more than two goals since Jan 31. They don't have much in the way of scoring, but they play a tight game and they don't give up.

 

[Grumbler]

Can't take any team in the west now lightly, since last years kings every single ****ing team in the west starts playing defense/aggressive forecheck hockey

This game will likely go to OT.

[PhilMick]

We might be screwed

 

[shortshorts]

Despite what the points say, Columbus is a good team.

 

[mrmyheadhurts]

4th line was a disaster against the Sharks, hopefully that gets fixed somehow. Not overly enamoured with Sestito so far...

Looking forward to the GDT:

Love the OU812 shirt that Garth is wearing. That album gets no love these days.

I might be looking forward to the GDT more than the actual game.

jeez, and i thought putting your own last name on a jersey was bad

 

[Barney Gumble]

Is Newell Brown fired yet?

Bad enough no power play goals last night - we gave up a shorty.

 

[Ryan96]

If we dont win this one, I will be seriously worried.

I would argue that they aren't necessarily a good team, but that they are a very underrated team and many are guilty of thinking that they are worse than they are
