[CBJWerenski8]

Getting a point would be nice. Are we sure Nuti is scratched for Q?

 

[Arch City Zach]

Is it confirmed they're giving Nutivaara the night off?

 

[GoJackets1]

I have an odd feeling that if Quincey plays tonight, it will be in Murray's place.

 

[Jive Pawnbroker]

Aren't the Wild the team that's been dealing with the mumps lately?

 

[Monk]

Aren't the Wild the team that's been dealing with the mumps lately?

Hopefully it'll be a low-contact game.

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

Chance to move into sole possession of second place in the Metro. Still think the Jackets are better off as the #1 wild card, but home ice in the first round would be nice too.

 

[LoveCBJ]

Go CBJ!

 

[Bazeek]

Aren't the Wild the team that's been dealing with the mumps lately?

Sounds like no one outside of Pominville, Parise and Stevens have had symptoms, and those 3 have been kept away from everyone since the Wild's bye week. After the mumps flare-up we had a few years ago they probably locked down on that business hard Should be safe by now.

Hey CBJ fans, I wouldn't be laughing yet... we're in town and ready to spread the plague

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

Gotta get 2 points tonight and get some separation from Pittsburgh!

 

[Privet]

This should be a good test for the Jackets!

 

[ndd17]

What numbers Quincey and Korpikoski will wear?
26 and 29, correct?

 

[jacketman10]

Quincy is in for Nuti. Torts said its fluid.

 

[Bobcat110]

Lots of seats still available for a matchup of the 2nd and 3rd best teams in the league. Might be smallest crowd since early December. I'm guessing just under 15,000.

I'll be there with a Wild fan for my first game of the year.

Historically, Minnesota-Columbus games are boring as hell. I don't blame the fans.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Huge test for the CBJ.

 

[Bobcat110]

Historically, they both suck. But I can pick up a cheap ticket for what should be great game.

Both valid points.

I prefer to think of it as "defensive showdowns"

I'll be there though.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Getting a point would be nice.

Two would be nicer.

Hey guys, Avs fan stopping by to say I'm jumping on the Blue Jackets bandwagon for the remainder of the year. A game against Minnesota just seems like perfect timing lol.

Are you guys generally happy with what they did at the TDL? I don't have positive memories of Quincey, but that was while he was on Detroit and Colorado.

 

[Dr. Fire]

Isn't this our 4th game in 6 days.

Going to have to dig deep to win this one.

I would give the TDL an A- for a grade. This TDL confirmed what management thought and what we all here believe, that the CBJs window to compete for a Cup is just now opening. We didn't hurt our future by trading away any of our core or young pieces of value. We added NHL depth and that's all we really need right now.

Plus Jarmo was quoted saying something like he views the addition of Bjorkstrand as a TDL "move"

Great knowing Team Typhoid Mary is coming to town...
