GDT: Game #47 - CBJ vs BOS - 14 Jan, 7pm, @Nat

[Viqsi]

Road trip over, homestand begins. And we might have a few more guys returning. Maybe.

Projected lineup per bluejackets.com:

Projected Lineup
(Subject to change)

Sonny Milano - Pierre-Luc Dubois - Emil Bemstrom
Gustav Nyquist - Boone Jenner - Nick Foligno
Nathan Gerbe - Alexander Wennberg - Kevin Stenlund
Jakob Lilja - Riley Nash - Eric Robinson

Zach Werenski - Seth Jones
Vladislav Gavrikov - David Savard
Scott Harrington - Markus Nutivaara

Elvis Merzlikins
Matiss Kivlenieks

Scratches: Ryan MacInnis, Gabriel Carlsson, Joonas Korpisalo (injury)

Roster Report: The Blue Jackets have kept the same lineup for the past four games, something that seemed impossible a little while back when the injury bug hit the team. Three players on injured reserve -- forwards Cam Atkinson and Oliver Bjorkstrand and defenseman Andrew Peeke -- skated with the team Monday, but it remains to be seen if any will be activated and return to the lineup.

Halak shit the bed last night I think we get rask.

This wont be easy, as it never is with Boston. A good test for the team.

If you look at the schedule you see that after tonight's game, the next 10-12 games will be against mostly bubble PO or bottom feeding teams. The Jackets need to win many of these games as the March schedule is scary.

It goes Boston, then Carolina, followed by 9 out of 12 games against teams outside of playoff spots. Only Florida is close as one of those 9. Team does finish with 14 of 16 against current playoff teams, though. Brutal schedule down the stretch.

The Bruins screwed us badly yesterday, lost 5-2 lead to lose in OT to Philly.

Hopefully there are tired after a long game and a flight to give us two points

^^^
Not to mention how they lost.....that f*** up by Marchand in the shootout, yeesh......

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

The Captain hasn't scored since November 29.......so he's due, right?

 

[KCbus]

I LOVE the fact that the Marchand lowlight gives us a chance to laugh our asses off at Boston.

I HATE the fact that we're their next opponent out of the gate. They're coming in here tonight looking to get a bad taste out of their mouths against a team that beat them last time they met. And we're coming off of a long road trip out west, a situation that Torts himself has referred to as a "we're screwed" situation in the past.

I don't have a good feeling. But we'll see. We're playing well enough that there's no reason to think we can't beat this team.

Boston played Halak last night so we'll go against Rask.

We'll be more rested as they played on a B2B that went to a shootout. We should jump on them early.

You're forgetting about Vegas Night after Saturday's game. I'm not sure we're more rested lol.

Nice to see Bemstrom on the first line after many here dumped on him in his return from injury.

I've liked Robinson's game more in this recent stretch. Bemstrom wasn't doing much in his return until his PPG Saturday. Either way - Torts will probably mix and match them all up at some point tonight.

Robinson has played very consistent in his bottom 6 role. He is doing a good job and not going under the radar as many have noticed his play. Two different players though.

Stenlund as well getting noticed as he has been playing good. Things look decent for depth in Columbus today fortunately with the injuries they’ve dealt with.

 

[ViD]

Bemstrom has not been anything impressive. I guess he’s just getting a chance after a decent game

 

[CBJWerenski8]

looks like Cam still out

Clearly the CBJ has the more high powered offense.

Cam just wanted a free trip to Vegas lol.

 

[ViD]

Bemstrom KTFO Rask !!

 

[Cowumbus]

On purpose or no?

 

[ScreamingWild]

I don't know... That didn't look completely accidental. I figure he's going to pay for at some point.

 

[MFRONE]

Why does the game clock have a weird font in the score bug?

So that Torts can see clear and well

 

[ViD]

Oh boy Robinson

We dodged one

 

[ViD]

Terrible offensive zone penalty by PLD
