GDT: Game 9 - CBJ at TML - 21 Oct, 7pm

[Viqsi]

Quick rematch against a non-division opponent. Time to avenge the home opener? Hopefully? Maybe? Please?

Projected lineup per bluejackets.com:

Projected Lineup
(Subject to change)

Gustav Nyquist - Pierre-Luc Dubois - Cam Atkinson
Nick Foligno - Alexander Wennberg - Oliver Bjorkstrand
Alexandre Texier - 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: Dean Kukan, Scott Harrington

Roster Report: Kukan was deputized to go in for Murray on Saturday against the Islanders, as the latter missed the game with an upper-body injury that has him day-to-day. He should be a game-time decision in Toronto. Extra forward Markus Hannikainen was sent back to AHL Cleveland on Saturday as well, which could mean Josh Anderson's return is on the horizon.

Easy win. Right?

 

[MAHJ71]

Stay out of the box please.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

I was thinking how Tavares is out and that got me thinking there's a 70s R&B group called Tavares and they had a big hit with "More Than a Woman" and as far as I know that's apropos of nothing but here it is:

 

[Old Guy]

I hope we cream those punks.

Disco sucks!!

mod edit: quote fix

 

[Viqsi]

Stay out of the box please.

We managed it against the Islanders, so there's at least been progress in that area.

I'll see your "more than a women" and raise you a "she's gone" (or he as in Tavares is gone).

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Scoring on this team has to improve yesterday. John Carlson-the Caps dman-has 2 more points than the four leading CBJ scorers combined.

13% PP and a 74% PK have to get better. Those are numbers of last place teams.

Any point earned tonight will be a good one. I'm not going to get greedy and expect two.

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

With the CBJ defensive breakdowns in OT you're wise not to expect two.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

We've played pretty well recently. We're going to need that (and more) to have a chance tonight.

Good to have Andy back. For some reason my gut tells me Torts will have the Bass-o-matic (e.g. the blender) going tonight.

I'd prefer if he does. I don't like these lines. Why they still haven't gone back to Dubois-Anderson is beyond me.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Yep. Flip Andy and Cam...and I might flip Tex and Foligno and give the top 3 lines similar 5 on 5 minutes.

 

[cbjfaninmo]

Let's Go Jackets!!!

 

[MoeBartoli]

I think Torts will find the right line combos during the game just in time and....Because Toronto isn't a team that chokes off space, I'm thinking we will break loose for 4 goals tonight....just enough for a 4-3 win in regulation. Flip that if we go to OT.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Yep. Flip Andy and Cam...

Agree.

and I might flip Tex and Foligno

if you do this haven't you just flipped Dubois and Boone?
