When they speak about players and personnel Rimer has crossed paths with throughout his career, they should mis-pronounce some names to see if he notices.

Note this isn’t intended as a dig on you……I probably poke at Rimer as much as anyone here, but I think tonight is one where we honor him and focus on the positives he’s done in Columbus including being a huge supporter of the city and the team. So I’m going to proceed in that spirit tonight

 

[Cyclones Rock]

That call from the Nash goal shows why he was an NHL announcer. Time has taken its toll on him and his skills are diminished (Father Time spares no one) but he's been the recognizable voice of the CBJ for 20 or so years and he deserves his night of honor.

I'll forgive all of his faux pas on the air, but I'll never forgive him for going toe-to-toe with Cincinnati legend Pete Rose. I hope tonight is a memorable one for him and those in attendance.

Yeah I get it. I'm happy for him.
Met him when I attended the fantasy camp, chatted a bit. Main reason he's retiring is his wife's health, he still wanted to continue, FYI

We out here! Let’s send all these Yinzers home disappointed.

No Jenner tonight. Might actually tune in to see Vincents head explode. He might try to forfeit the game

 

[NotWendell]

Who’s in net tonight?

Who’s in net tonight?

I would assume Elvis, but if he’s also sick last minute, it’s Tarry.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Who?

Is this the 1989 Indians Spring training roster?

 

[Cujorulesdtown9]

Figured id dust this account off, been a hot minute since ive posted here(as if my ancient wrestling avatar was any indication )
Going to be interesting to see PV not be able to play Jenner.

Also, hats off to Rimer, incredible career in the booth!

 

[Bobcat205]

My view for the evening. This is the lowest I’ve ever been for a game, regardless of what level I’m watching.

The drive back to Hillard and Gahanna isn't far

Kinda close to the family season seats we had for the first 10 years, section 105 row M and N

I’ll assume Voronkov will get back with Marchenko mow as Sillinger will move up to 1C. But I’d be happy to see Dimi at 1 C. He may already be better than Sillinger. But with PV anything is possible.

Imagine being in a penny pinching organization so inept that you get to make your NHL debut simply because you were a healthy scratch today in an AHL game.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

And he's not even here yet.

 

[Bobcat205]

Are the Pens starting Nedeljkovic today? If so, then we have a lil bit of hope, maybe just maybe

This hasn't typically been a penny pinching organization.

I don't recall a time when they kept the NHL roster so short, maybe it's because they're trying not to cripple Cleveland.

yeah, I know but the fact that kept the roster right at 20 players out of being conservative to not blow through their 4 recalls has left them living and dying by the emergency recall just to field a full team.

Maybe in the future they should just try to acquire a couple of more expiring contract cap dumps to be healthy scratches or something. In any event, this is worst case scenario for filling out a team for the rest of the season.

knowing our luck those vets on expiring contracts will also get hurt

Too late for that.

I prefer the line:

Malatesta - Butler - Olivier

JD was holding back tears. Didn’t know he was hs buddies with JR
