GDT: Game 7 - CBJ at CHI - 18 Oct, 8:30pm

[Viqsi]

Inconveniently at the same time as the Buckeyes game this week, but those of us who are fans of both teams will have to find some way to persevere.

Projected lineup per bluejackets.com:

Projected Lineup
(Subject to change)

Gustav Nyquist - Pierre-Luc Dubois - Cam Atkinson
Alexandre Texier - Alexander Wennberg - Oliver Bjorkstrand
Nick Foligno - Boone Jenner - Emil Bemstrom
Jakob Lilja - Riley Nash - Sonny Milano

Zach Werenski - Seth Jones
Markus Nutivaara - Ryan Murray
Vladislav Gavrikov - David Savard

Joonas Korpisalo
Elvis Merzlikins

Scratches: Markus Hannikainen, Dean Kukan, Scott Harrington

Roster Report: Josh Anderson has missed four consecutive games with an upper-body injury but skated with the full team during its practice Thursday. Afterward, head coach John Tortorella said he's making progress toward a return but did not have an update.

Blackhawks.com does have a preview article up, but no lineup until after their morning skate. Will update this post with it if I remember. and it has been updated with the lineup:

The Blackhawks did not run line rushes in morning skate, but Colliton confirmed to reporters afterwards that he would use the same lineup as Monday's game against Edmonton, with Robin Lehner in goal against the Jackets.
[...]
DeBrincat - Toews - Caggiula
Shaw - Strome - Kane
Saad - Kampf - Kubalik
Smith - Carpenter - Nylander

Keith - Murphy
Maatta - Seabrook
de Haan - Gustafsson

Will be listening in the car on the way back from Springfield. I should be able to settle in and watch the third at least. It will be interesting to see if they can maintain and build on their slightly-improved play of late.

You'll want CD102.5; The Fan will be covering the Buckeyes instead.

Better be careful, OSU might sue because of the photoshopped logo on the hat.

Lehner starting for hawks per daily faceoff.

The scheduling gods couldn’t have been more ruthless to those of us following both Columbus teams.

Could have made for a really nice sports trip for people (and led to a LOT of CBJ fans in the UC tonight) if they would’ve just kept the OSU game on Saturday like college football should be.

I love Kiawah, best spot for a “low key” spring break.

 

[Old Guy]

I hope we cream those punks.

 

[LetsGOJackets!!]

Going to struggle to follow all three games on.. Buckeyes, Jackets and Yankees. I'm hoping to get a trifecta.. but fear that the Yanks season may be over tonight.


Jackets win 2-1

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

I’m certainly glad that I only care about 1 team playing tonight.

 

[NotWendell]

Put Milano on the power play!

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Looks like Elvis in the cage.

two starts. Against Crosby, malkin, Letang, Kane, Toews, DeBrincat, Keith. Uh oh

 

[Jaxs]

Go Buckets, I mean Jackets.

 

[cbjfaninmo]

Let's Go Jackets!!!!

Gotcha, I graduated from Witt in ‘76.......yeah, I’m old

As long as the team in front of him plays better there shouldn't be much concern. Elvis will get all the blame but it is pretty clear that the entire team sh*t the bed in front of him that night and has started to be more defensively responsible since then.

 

[MAHJ71]

Elvis in the United Center.

Hope we score at least 3 or 4.

 

[pled]

seeing lane stable is kinda nice

Elvis could use a good game

 

[The Wheelchair]

I didn't watch Elvis's first start, so I'm pretending it didn't happen. Excited for his NHL debut tonight.
