Well if this is the best we've got, might as well get er going....

I think if we get 2 points tonight, it's an incredibly successful road trip, 3 and 2 against NYI, Philly, Pitt, Mont and NYR would be unreal. Hoping the Blackhawks and Pens can take care of Boston and Fla for us, too!

 

[Cowumbus]

this game is critical

 

[MAHJ71]

Will be interesting to see how we follow up from last night.. Could be ugly if we come out sluggish.

Heart Says: 3-2 Jackets
Head Says: 4-1 Rangers

Here is to hoping my heart wins out.

 

[MAHJ71]

Ooops, just noticed there was two threads.

Oh well.

3-2 Jackets, living on a prayer!

 

[ca5150]

Hopefully the Jackets come out more ready to play than our GDT was, our GDT must be feeling it from the back to backs...haha

 

[niflheim]

Stay Strong, Jackets! Not one step back!

#CBJ D James Wisniewski will be a healthy scratch tonight vs #NYR. Jordan Leopold will play.

 

[Theo Von]

Wiz a healthy scratch? Yikes. Let the speculation Begin.

i don't think there's anything to speculate about...Wiz was awful last night...richards showing some balls and scratching top players is good to see

 

[CBJWerenski8]

What a dumb move

I agree, there's nothing to speculate about. Why in the world would our FO be selling a key piece to our PP if we're trying to make a run to get back in the playoff race?

Wiz was awful last night, countless times he took shots right into defenders shin pads. Didn't make very good decisions with the puck, especially on the PP. I don't think it should have warranted a healthy scratch for tonight though...

Likewise. If he gets traded for a handful of magic beans I'm joining the anti-Kekalainen crowd.

 

[jackets4life]

Somewhere the bus is jumping up and down in joy.

Was Wiz bad last night? Sure....Connauton should have been the out tonight though.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Showcasing Leopold for a trade and sending Wiz a message.

 

[ca5150]

What a dumb move

Wiz has been awful many nights, this is a good move, he's so slow, can't hold the puck in and can't get his shot through

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Wiz has had a cold streak yes. Jack has also been in cold streaks. Same with Joey, Foligno, Cam and others. Why now to send a message?

This is arguably the biggest game of the season and we're sitting a vet with 50 points last year on the backend. This smells like another RJ Umberger situation.

He wants to go to Philadelphia?

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I think it's a risk worth taking.

 

[jackets4life]

Why not now? Wiz has had this coming all season and Richards finally grew a pair and did it. That's really all it comes down to.

Last season is last season, he's been really bad for most of the season, it's like he's skating in sand

 

[CBJWerenski8]

We must be watching different players.

J.Wisniewski is healthy scratch tonight. I think the #bluejackets are ready to listen if any team wants him. 2 years left on his contract.
