Really enjoyed that game last night I thought
the Jackets worked hard especially the 3rd period it seemed like we tilted the ice on them. Bob looked very good, Foligno parks his ass in the crease, beauty eh? Ryjo looked good. Artem played like a sniper, bulled his way to the net, nasty back hand goals - Rinne didn't get fooled much tonight but that backhand high glove roofed it twice.
I was most impressed by John Moore. That was really the first time I have gotten to see him carry the puck end to end, and I actually had to do a double take. He skates beautifully & effortless - now I see why we drafted him in the 1st round. Really feel pretty good about the defense for the first time ever. Murray, Erixon, Savard, Goulebev, Reilly add in Seth Jones.. wow. JMFJ & Wiz will play better as they get in shape, but TinTin was an awesome pairing. They really played well. So pleased for these guys

We're tied for 1st! In late January!!

Exactly, especially after that... some CBJ fans are just clueless about hockey IMO.

I wasn't suggesting that we scratch Boll, only that if we were to scratch somebody, it be Boll. We do have Dorsett who is similar in size to Tootoo, though admittedly giving up probably close to 20 pounds.

Boll should have had an assist on that Anisimov's goal. He made a good hit, took off the ice their best d-man and earned a PP for his team. Eventually AA scored when Weber was still in the box. That's some nice job he's done there.

Just a note to anyone considering going to an away game, Nashville is awesome. Most hospitable fans in the league. The game ops is awesome. (No cheesy minor league stuff) And the arena is located in a great place for country music bars / country music HOF / Ryman.
Going back to the Arena for the first time reminds me in a way of the first day of school. I'm looking forward to seeing all my "CBJ pals", seat mates, ushers, Jacket Backers, etc.
Kinda giddy, really. Let's hope we get a win and drown out whatever Detroit sends down 23 in an attempt to spoil our good time.

Leaf fan in peace.
Just thought I'd post a couple of tidbits.
Loved the comrodery in your win against Nashville. Looked like there's some great chemistry on your team. This is 100% needed to start a winning culture.
Everyone has/had written you guys off already. Quite honestly after watching Nash in NY and Anisimov and Dubinsky in CB, i would say the trade is much more even then most people would like to believe.
You guys are young with much improved depth and a good recent drafting record. I would say things are beginning to look up. Although you lack high end offensive talent, the depth on your team is quite nice.

I agree, Nashville and Carolina are both on par with each other. The only real difference between the two is the location of the arena. Nashville you are in the middle of the city with lots to do, but parking sucks. In Carolina the arena is in the middle of no where but the parking is great and you can tailgate right there in the lot.

I agree. Watching the Rangers these first two games has been painful. So far I concur. Hopefully the rags keep losing and their pick turns into gold for us.
Nashville is an awesome road trip, I've met and talked with alot of their fans...classy fanbase, friendly town.
That's exactly right. It just doesn't fit the narrative the hockey writers want to write about ("they were the worst team in the league last year and they traded away their best player")
Hard to argue with the facts, and them's those! Still, those facts do not necessarily lead to the conclusion that Nash has not been replaced by any talent and that the team must remain the worst in the league. Only the team on the ice can write that story any differently.
