[Old Guy]

I hope we cream those punks.

Today's theme song

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

Stay out of the box, survive the first period and if Bob is the Bob of March, the Jackets will have a chance.

 

[Jive Pawnbroker]

Tonight more than ever we will need Vezina Trophy Bob, not Sideshow Bob.

 

[JacketsDavid]

Tonight more than ever we will need Vezina Trophy Bob, not Sideshow Bob.

Exactly. With Pittsburgh getting to dictate the matchups at home it' on Bob. Now us scoring 4 goals would also help

Nah, now HERE's the theme song

 

[CBJWerenski8]

If 72 plays like he has all series, this ends tonight. If he plays like he's capable of then we got a shot. That said, if this is the end tonight, I am damn happy with the season and proud of the guys. It'll suck to see this season end, whenever it does.

Hornqvist?

 

[JKinCLE]

I told myself if they could just win game 4 to avoid the sweep I would be ok with the series ending in 5. Now that it's here I am having a hard time sticking to that.

Earn your $7 million dollar contract tonight Bob.

 

[MAHJ71]

Just ain't ready for it to be over with... I want another home playoff game at Nationwide on Sunday damnit!

Just. Win. The. Damn. Game... tonight.

 

[We Want Ten]

If the series ends tonight, it will go down as a lost opportunity. The CBJ are a much better team than they have shown so far and I'd like to see 1 game where they play like a 100 point team at least once. If they play well and lose so be it, but I'd like to see a good game.

It starts and ends with Bob.

This was the happiest moment of my season.

Blue Jackets, Bob: TOP IT.

 

[Kev22]

If the season does end tonight, I hope that the Jackets don't take steps back like they did in 2014. This should hopefully be a building block for the young kids and the front office sees that there are holes on this roster and look to upgrade the skill in the offseason.

If they do lose tonight, this will be the first real heartbreak I'll have experienced with them because there were expectations that came with regular season results.

That said, if they play like they have the last couple of games and Bob shows up, we've got a chance to get this back to Nationwide on Sunday.

 

[DarkandStormy]

No lineup changes, per Torts.

Guess Murray (Ryan) isn't progressing as expected?

 

[WannabeFinn]

Bob pls

 

[airbus220]

Just beat those smelly animals please.

 

[Privet]

Bob pls.

 

[jacketman10]

Win the second period. I would also like to see Bob give up 2 goals or less.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

I am expecting Bobrovsky to give up some bad goals. His play of late reminds me of the start to last season. Not much confidence in himself

This is how I feel too. We are a good, young team and I hope they can answer tonight. Either way, this season should be a good building block.

I am not giving up. Let's Go Jackets!!!!

 

[CharlotteJacket]

Somebody...anybody needs to check Guentzel, the guy is red hot and we're making him look he's all-pro.

 

[hockey17jp]

If Bob is Bob we can win.

If Bob is playoff Bob we lose.

 

[MAHJ71]

No lineup changes, per Torts.

Guess Murray (Ryan) isn't progressing as expected?

Maybe he just enjoys flights on the team plane??
