Should be a win, but the Jackets have some good defenseman. Losing Bob, Panarin, and Duchene definitely hurt them quite a bit. They are not that good of a team. Sabs win 3-2.

Given the past half dozen years, some measured amount of enthusiasm about this team at this point is deserved and warranted.

Trolling, bragging, taunting is extremely stupid and immature behavior. And beneath us. (Main Board? Don't know... never go there.....)

Aside from a couple of games... this team hasn't won anything yet. My advice....... make the playoffs, win a series, and then we'll have some credibility. Stay cool until then.

I'm very interested to see how Columbus does here. I have to think Tort's expiration date is nearing. It might be an all out effort by columbus, it could be a complete no show. I can't imagine the whole "Loyalty" theme played very well in the room



Imagine watching that as a player, especially one with no trade protection that could literally be traded at any second for any reason. It's also a backhand slap at former teammates who decided use their UFA status and choose where to play. It looks super petty on the front office.

Hey guys, devils fan here that was too frustrated to come in and post this Saturday night... but I gotta say your team looks great.

Oloffson is amazing, his shot alone makes him an NHL player...

Dahlin though is really something else. He can be one of if not the most valuable player in the entire league. the way he shut us down was impressive on its own. Throwing his weight around in corners, breaking up plays infront. its stuff you don't see from 19 year old Dmen. Looks like hes going to have a huge offensive season as well. very jealous. You guys are definitely a playoff team this year IF goaltending holds.

It's very embarassing to me. They seem so spurned.

Seems more like a swipe at Duchene, Bob, and Panarin for ditching the club. Kind of a "f*** it, we don't need guys who don't want to be here." A bit cringe-worthy but not something I would expect means anything to current players.

I just don't see us slacking off, and will continue this high-energy play. These guys are so confident right now. I see us winning by at least 3.

Hockey is random. I just want them to continue playing a similar game as the first two. Fast, aggressive, and good contributions from the entire lineup.

I’m not afraid of Columbus as a team, but I’m not convinced Buffalo is reliably good either. Fingers crossed.
