GDT: #47: CBJ @ DAL 8:30EDT "Do or Die Edition"

[yave1964]

48 year old lifelong Wings fan, just wanted to wish you guys luck tonight. One heck of a season you have had, Philly has to be kicking themselves for Bob (Don't make up for the Carter fiasco but it helps) and aggressiveness trades at the deadline have the club interesting and fun to watch.

I hope my Wings make the playoffs, hope the Jackets knock out the Wild. I live in Lexington and usually only watch CBJ when they are playing the Wings, but I gotta admit I have snuck and watched a half dozen Jacket games this season. Even went to a couple of non wing games at nationwide this year, Letestu and Johnson are a lot of fun to watch.
Again, good luck this year, knock out the Wild!!

The Wild need to lose to the Avs and Oilers to fail, it's just hard to believe

I 2nd this. If we had any shot at catching them, it had to have been the Kings beating them on Tuesday.

Is Anisimov playing?

Not playing tonight. Still questionable and "day-to-day".

 

[ConoR187]

This will be either the best day or worst day

 

[BustownWest]

Sure wish the Kings played with more of a 'do-or-die' attitude last night, but now it's our turn.

I have very little doubt that Columbus is going to walk into Dallas tonight and kick there butts, the problem for me is the last game of the season. Nashville is going to be tough, I see them beating Detroit tonight though, and giving us a heck of a game. I think the playoffs are coming to Columbus this season however.

Wow, looks like plenty of people are tuning in tonight. I think this is one of the first time hockey is coming on and I'm more nervous than anything... Weird feeling! Usually don't feel anything! We can only deliver on our end. That being said, I'll join the "**** the Kings" wagon

Nashville looks like they're starting Chris Mason instead of Pekka Rinne, sent Filip Forsberg and Austin Watson back to Milwaukee, and have brought back Mike Fisher (okay, that's good) and... dunno who else.

I'm not yet to the point of "we're done, Nashville; you mean nothing to me" or anything equally extreme, but wow. I have never been so pissed off at a team like I am right now.

 

[RickS]

I just looked up "critical" in the dictionary, and this game was the picture. Nerves are killing me.

How did they fit Dustin Byfuglien into Cams jersey?

"Now, on this ragged patch of ice called American Airlines Center, Gulutzan's hordes face... obliteration!"

Don't know, I'm probably still more upset with the Kings. They beat us then lose twice to our competition. It's like Carter is still wanting to screw us.

I've had a doom feeling about this game all week. We'll see what happens, but this game has had me worried for a month. I'm thinking about 95% chance this thing goes into OT... :p

It's funny, I find that no more or less possible than any other scenario. The Avs are capable of beating anyone recently and the Oilers have enough fire power with youth to beat anyone if they are going. When you have a team that skates like the Oilers they can surprise.

Sure I think the Wild are going to get, at least, a point. But I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see them lose out and they need two points.

Two teams enter, one team leaves.

blue jackets are mel gibson. Dallas is ...

 

[ndd17]

Please Win today...

Tina Turner?

"Should we win the day, it will be remembered as the day when the Jackets declared in one voice, 'We will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. We're going to play on. We're going to survive.'"

 

[Halfboard]

How did they fit Dustin Byfuglien into Cams jersey?

You're off to a fine start................well played....................

 

[Devils Trap]

Goodluck. Im jumping on the bandwagon

Rooting for you guys

 

[Robert]

The only scenario today that I don't want is a CBJ loss, that ends our season tonight.. If we win there is still one more day regardless of what other teams do...

 

[InjuredChoker]

Nashville looks like they're starting Chris Mason instead of Pekka Rinne, sent Filip Forsberg and Austin Watson back to Milwaukee, and have brought back Mike Fisher (okay, that's good) and... dunno who else.

OT little but how did Forsberg look generally?

 

[Miggus]

Try having a best friend as a Wings fan.

"Friend" and "Wings fan" don't belong on the same sentence.

That being said the Jackets know the situation they're in and I fully trust them to win both tonight and on Saturday. I'm just hoping for a little help from Nashville. Their management seems to want to throw the game against Detroit, but luckily the suits aren't the ones playing.

I never thought I'd say these words but...

LET'S GO NASHVILLE
and of course
GO JACKETS!

 

[Jyrki]

just win baby.

 

[cbjgirl]

As the late Al Davis used to say, Just Win Baby!

I really want to see what Nationwide will be like on Saturday if the Jackets have something to play for. I'm thinking game 4 of the '09 playoffs, or maybe louder.

I'm thinking it will be one of the top 3 loudest games, the others being game 4 and the inaugural game.

Destiny is defined in the dictionary as this : The predetermined, usually inevitable or irresistible, course of events.

I feel as if we have Destiny on our side. I think its gonna come down to the last game. Just as many of our most improbable wins have come this year. Its meant to be! LETS GO JACKETS!!!!!

3-1 CBJ

Goals by Letestu, Gabby and Atkinson
