[Jackets Fan]

Time to make it 10 straight!

 

[EspenK]

My wife is dragging me out this evening. I'll probably miss them playing their best. Let's hope.

P.S. Lets trade Erixon- he's wasting away in the press box.

 

[WannabeFinn]

Don't think I'll be able to watch the game. If there's ever gonna be a point in this season where we string together some wins and climb the standings before all is truly lost then it's gotta be tonight. No question about it. Winning 2 in a row and then getting (probably) getting Dubi back would give the team just enough momentum to maybe get something going.

Go Jackets.

 

[Kev22]

What's the over/under for attendance on this one? 2500?

 

[1857 Howitzer]

“@Aportzline: No changes for #CBJ lineup tonight vs. #flapanthers. Dubinsky on ice, but not taking line rushes.”

Let's not throw stones here..

Yeah, seriously. We match up well against the Panthers. This is a should win game ( although if you look on their board, Panthers fans think the exact opposite. They're the better team evidently ).
9 straight is no mistake though. Go Jackets

Let's not throw stones here..

No doubt. We've had our fair share of attendance problems as well. Not an argument we want to get in to...

[Dr. Fire]

I wish they would quit teasing us about Dubinsky. Just let us know when he is actually going to be back.

Not getting my hopes up for tonight. Just don't want to be surprised if they lose.

 

[1857 Howitzer]

Seems that he is tired of it too.

Injured #CBJ center Brandon Dubinsky hopes his season debut is around the corner, but he "stopped circling dates a month ago."

Seriously. Expansion fan bases gotta stick together.

Game starts at 7:30 - way too late for the average aged Floridian. They should play all afternoon games followed by a reduced price trip to the Golden Corral or Luby's. Free if the Panthers score 6 goals. Attendance problems fixed.

His +/- dropped off a bit in his last few games but I can't help but wonder how playing Connauton over him is an improvement... As you say, may as well trade him.

They already brought Murray back too soon.....wouldn't be surprised for them to announce any day he is having another surgery

0.4% chance of making playoffs.........Dubi and all on IR should be 110% before returning.

I could never root against the Jackets.....but I see no reason to rush anyone back at this point of the season. Focus has to be on changing the atmosphere back to a competitive team and getting ready for next year.......Getting guys like Foligno signed when the time is right. Just too big of hole to dig out of this year and still many injured

I think Connauton has been playing very well lately.

Erixon wasn't a problem, IMO, so he didn't deserve to be taken out of the lineup. But for whatever reason he was pretty bad last game when he was added back to the lineup. Looked nervous.

I know we are bad, but we can't be 10 losses in a row bad ?

I know Jerry's mom & dad were fond of eating at 4:30 so they could get that $4.99 sirloin dinner special!!...............

Are you trying to keep us out of Del Boca Vista?!!??

 

[GoJackets1]

Why is Prout continually playing over Erixon? Prout isn't good. Other than that, that forward lineup is pretty damn cringeworthy...

 

[TNCHL]

I'm a leaf fan in Florida going to the game and I'll be cheering on the jackets tonight.

2501

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Just wanted to say Rychel looked really good last game. Sorry about Horton again, damn shame.

What's the over/under for attendance on this one? 2500?

Glass house/throw stones

2501

People in Florida have the sense to not continually pay to watch garbage unlike Toronto.
