[We Want Ten]

This last 2 GDT pics have been great.

CBJ 4
VAN 2

the "How ya like me now Vancouver?" game.

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

Every game is a crapshoot without Bob....if the Jackets play with any emotion it could be close, otherwise 3-0 or 4-1 'nucks sounds about right. If you don't think the NHL is all about goaltending, please direct your attention to the Montreal Canadiens.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

The last time we played in Vancouver was the game where Marko Dano became a rising star for us. He had like 4 points and was dominating everywhere: It was also the game where I started to believe we were a good team and were going to wreck the league in a few years.

I miss those days. (Love Saad though)

 

[JKinCLE]

Tonight will be a good measuring stick as to how the locker room feels about Torts.

I think the team comes out with flying tonight for their coach. I'm sure he'll downplay it in pre-game interviews, but this game has to mean a lot to JT. This one would really be a "win one for the coach" game.

If they haven't tuned him out already.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Loss. The only question is the severity and if anyone cries

Scoring goals helps a bit as well. The Habs are scoring less than two goals per game during their current 5-19-1 stretch.

This line up isn't good enough with or without Bob. And Bob is no Price. No doubt though that a healthy Bob would result in more wins.

Because today is all about positive thinking

I know better than to stay up for these. Predicting 4-1 loss.

 

[Columbus Mike]

Games like this make me celebrate the DVR, because this one starts too late for me.

Games like this make me curse the DVR, because we're probably going to lose 6-1 but I'm going to watch the entire thing in the morning.

Torts channels all of his built up anger and hatred from his stint in Vancouver into his performance tonight. He delivers a passionate pre game speech and everybody is rearing to go.

Then the puck drops and the Blue Jackets lose 4-0.

Don't score a lick for a top four pick!

he cant yell so his pregame speech and intermission discussions will just be extended glares at Bourque

 

[NotWendell]

Hidden analysis of the CBJ franchise: "haven't been this lost in years!"

 

[Cowumbus]

Sabres got a point. Oilers are gonna win. Hopefully we lose and "gain" some ground towards Matthews.

 

[Fro]

i'll keep track here for a bit...Lip Sync Battle is on with Tim Tebow...that'll be more entertaining

 

[NotWendell]

Why do I have text alerts telling me the Blue Jackets game is on???

 

[Cowumbus]

Rychel with some solid hits on that shift

 

[NotWendell]

Two glorious opportunities that our opponents would have buried result in not a single shot on goal.

 

[Dednimnepo]

Rimer is actually doing good play by play! Keep it up Jeff.

 

[MFRONE]

Not hooking

 

[Fro]

and watching now...and we're down 1-0...sigh...and I see Cracknall is scratched...lol

 

[Cowumbus]

Bourque and Campbell such anchors. Wish I could see Rychel in top 6

 

[NotWendell]

Bourque and Campbell such anchors. Wish I could see Rychel in top 6

I wish I could see those "anchors" on another team

 

[Cowumbus]

Seth jones definitely could have gotten interference there. Good play by jones
