will be interesting to see how the new kids slide in and produce...

 

[jackets4life]

So jealous of that first defensive pairing the Blues have!...and Tarasenko.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Hoping for no injuries tonight. Good luck! Was sorry to see Cam Atkinson go down. He's fun to watch.

Blues d pairings are

Redden-Pietrangelo
Jackman-Shattenkirk
Russell-Polak

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

The Jackets will play hard tonight, but it likely won't matter because the Blues are more talented across the board, have an established identity, and are going to create a lot of turnovers. I'll say Blues 3-1 with the lone Jacket goal coming from Foligno.

“@RobMixer: Early news from the #CBJ morning skate: Ryan Johansen's "flow" is no more. Fresh haircut. #investigativereporting”

“@RobMixer: Jonathan Audy-Marchessault (No. 36) and Tim Erixon (No. 20) among the first players on the ice this morning. #CBJ”

“@RobMixer: As expected, Nikita Nikitin, Adrian Aucoin & Matt Calvert are not skating this morning. #CBJ”

“@RobMixer: Steve Mason out early this morning to work with goaltending coach Ian Clark. Sergei Bobrovsky occupying the "starter's net." #CBJ”

 

[Nordique]

Will be entertaining alone to see Erixon on the blue line and Audy.

I think Bob stands on his head, CBJ 2-1 shoot out victory.

 

[GoJackets1]

Prospal-Johan-Foligno needs more minutes.

 

[Skraut]

7-3 Blues
Russell with interception for the touchdown.

We will try that until we are 6-23-7. The 23rd regulation loss will spark outrage. Wait you have Brassard in there twice. I think I might be confused... :p

You sure that isn't AA?

Ya got Brass twice, guessing top line center Brass needs replacing by Artie.

 

[bizzz*]

Nevermind. Brassard is listed twice.
JAM scores a couple and gets early Calder considerations and Tarasenko comparisons.
Jackets win 3:2.

 

[Fro]

just copied and pasted...didn't realize brass was double shifting...hahaha

 

[Socks]

Well... Umby usually brings it against the Blues so maybe this is the game he gets his ass in gear?

 

[Fro]

What happened to Anisimov?!!!

he's probably the first line C

 

[blahblah]

Probably the most interesting this is the separation of Wiz and JMFJ on the defensive pairings. Moore with Wiz should have been tried before this.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Mixer's Twitter feed does in fact indicate this. Guessing he'll fix/update blog accordingly.

 

[Columbus Jack]

Well Id have to agree. Jack and Wiz haven't been bad in my opinion but they are going to shelter Savard and Erixon. I'm guessing Tim goes with Tyutin and Savvy with Jack. Moore should fit in great with Wiz as they both have been arguably part of our top 3 defenders. Jack being the other one. Also, nice to see Erixon and Jam get 2nd PP time. Erixon is a helluva PP QB from the games I've watched of him in SPR.

 

[Fro]

i guess things are changing by the minute....defensive pairs

Rob Mixer ‏@RobMixer
As we mentioned, d pairs may change. Here’s how they look: 7-21, 51-58, 4-20. #CBJ

 

[JacketsDavid]

Our high flying offense should keep this one interesting.

Blues - 4
CBJ - 1

Well ok maybe not so interesting...

But afterwards we can all meet back up on here and blame Bob for the loss.

 

[CBJwheel]

I'm doubting that we win this one. I'm just hoping that a loss tonight doesn't discourage the boys.

But still, go Jackets!!

 

[1857 Howitzer]

“@Aportzline: #CBJ D pairs will be scrambled tonight. Coach Todd Richards confirms that Jack Johnson and James Wisniewski will not be together at start.”

 

[CAMSANITY]

Well, I will be at the game tonight so Hopefully we can get a W, I've been there for all of them except Dallas. I think the more Joey is on the ice the better. That kid has been great. He actually gets some ice time this year and good things happen around him.

 

[Nordique]

2-1 CBJ in a shootout.

RJ with the hatty. The Black Adder (#42) with 3 assists.
