2 D out of the lineup, 1 D and 1 forward in?

Anyway, really excited to see these two. Our top 2 picks from this past year's draft playing games for us, with Marchenko hopefully coming over soon, and two more top 12-ish picks this year is a great feeling.

We went 11 F and 7 D last game. So this means we are back to normal.

Jackets can set a new franchise mark in futility with the most goals allowed in a season if they let in six tonight.

the team will be eliminated if they don't win, i think.

it's pretty surprising that even through all those last place seasons, the goaltending wasn't even that bad.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Both teams are not really playing inspired hockey tonight. Very meh

I predict the Habs score 5 and make us wait one more game.

While we are getting poor goaltending, I think the porous D and the fact that scoring seems to be up league-wide contribute to this dubious ‘team record’ about to be set.

Yup

I shouldn't have targeted goaltending only but yeah you're right.

Yup

you tell me there's still hope ?

Also is blank gonna play with bean ?

Heading to the game tonight - hope KJ‘s immigration issues are cleared up so I can see his debut.

 

[Long Live Lyle]

Crazy that Domi’s gone before Anderson even gets his tribute video haha

Yeah not one of Jarmo’s finest moves. Up there with both Gaborik deals. But not as bad

[Youngguns80]

Woohooo!!!

 

[LJ7]

Excellent. Excited to see how he does. He's on a perfect line to start his career, wouldn't surprise me if he's paired with Bjorkstrand for all 9 games given Bjorkstrand's 2 way/puck hound/sniping skill set. Perfectly compliments Johnson on paper, and I think he's an easier target to hit for 1 timers than Laine within the flow of a game.

All that being said maybe he gets instant chemistry with Laine if he plays with him lol. On paper and on ice are entirely different stories.

Agree BUT……Jarmo acquired Domi to play center. Now we can debate whether Domi could ever be an effective center - probably not - BUT he was never given that chance under Torts. Domi would have probably failed, but Torts gave him an F before he ever took the test

 

[pled]

nice, I hope danforth keep up, he definitly played well lately. how much ice time do you think the line will get ?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

13 makes his debut on 04/13

It’s poetic

Saw a Portzline tweet saying both Johnson's and Blankenburg's parents will be in the arena tonight. That'll keep Maetzel hopping for those treasured interviews he does with them.

 

[Byrral]

Happy for the game as usual but there is a bit more excitement in the air today.

Edit: Most players that have lived and played in Columbus understand the city and the fanbase and have spoke highly of the city as a great place. The only ones who are questioning it is the media looking for another story and the misinformed on HFBoards. Most people in Columbus understand this city isn't for everybody but it is for most.

Someone should definitely warn them…
