It's time to slam that playoff monkey off their backs. The hockey fans in Cleveland are pulling for you guys.
You just need to relax.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Breathe in,
Breathe.....
On second thought....
Pretty much. Right now, the Blue Jackets are better at hockey. So, PLAY HOCKEY. Don’t get sucked into dumb stuff. If Tampa decides to goon it up, do what you have to do to defend yourself, but let them self-destruct.Best way for Foligno to get revenge on Stamkos is to score goals and win the game. Him and his teammates can't go after him. Don't wake him up. Keep him frustrated. Don't take unnecessary penalties. After TB cried about lack of penalties. I'm sure the ref will be ready to call some. Now they won't call a stupid penalty but on plays that would be 50/50 they might just call one. And I know it's 3-0 but this game is critical. If TB wins, they have life and it's back in TB. Yes we won 2 but you would think they'll win 1 at home eventually. They win, it's 3-2. They still have momemtum and the pressure is on Columbus. Game 6 is a toss up and who knows, next thing you know, they're in TB for game 7. I'm probably over thinking it so basically just please win tomorrow. First 10 minutes will be huge. Either Columbus comes out flying and if they score a goal or two, TB will be devastated. If they hold on, they ride the goalies play and gain confidence. Or they come out flying. They score, they gain confidence. If they don't, they get bummed out and Columbus gains momemtum.
You just need to relax.

Haha, I had the exact same thought waking up this morning.We have waited almost 20 years for a game like this. I never would have expected the path, time and heartache it would take just to get to today's game. Although I'd like to think that the Lightning decide they'd rather be done and not go home to their fans on Friday, I bet they come out full bore. CBJ have beaten TB in come from behind shocker fashion, in a straight up ass kicking and then in the tight back and forth game Sunday night. Tampa was starting to figure things out in 3rd period. It'd be nice if the CBJ get a couple quick goals and crush TB's hopes, but I'm thinking this is the OT game. 4-3 Jackets in OT and Texier gets the winner.
The whole team is buying in too if you watch the looker room interview the player always say the same as him "we just play our game"I just watched the torts presser. Man he is calm and cool which is just what we need. He is careful to not say how good we have been playing and making the presser as calm and boring as possible. I have always liked torts. The guy is very calculated and it seems he only acts up when he wants the attention to be on him instead of his team.
I went to my first CBJ game when I was 5, in early 2001. That spawned a love of a sport for 20 years, both playing and following the CBJ extensively. When I was a little kid, I knew everything about the team and their prospects, and stats, from reading the media guides. I loved those things as a kid, and it eventually grew into me posting here... Many have had similar experiences to me I know, going through all the ups and downs of the franchise, so kudos to those who have been fans from the start. One of the days we've been waiting for is finally here: Playing a playoff elimination game where we aren't the ones potentially being eliminated. Closing this out at home would be an absolutely unreal experience to attend, and I'm jealous of those who can. It'll be tough, but I'm sure the players want to close this out in front of the CBJ home crowd.
If we win tonight, I might cry, as this is one of the few things I've been waiting to experience for over 75% of my life. I'm happy for all of us, and especially those who have been around since the beginning. Some of you have been posting here ever since I joined, and I'm happy we'll all get to experience this (hopefully a win) together tonight.
Go Jackets!

He’s calm and cool, but shouldn’t be. He needs a Torts rager.180 degree difference from Cooper and his thousand yard stare after each game.
Nuti wasn't even skating this morningTorts' presser says no lineup changes, but CBJ Instagram has Nuti back in...? Which is it?
