Very similar opponent to DET. Keep it simple, work hard, get good goal tending, and they should have a shot at a W.

 

[DJA]

I predict a one-goal game.

I predict OT.

 

[Skraut]

I predict a game happens, fans watch it, and beer is consumed.

I have a feeling some nachos might be in danger too

 

[OldGoaltender]

I like pie.

I have beer and the day off tomorrow. I predict your prediction will come true.

I think I found the quintessential representation of the last 7 games and how the CBJ and fans must feel (about 3 minutes in):

 

[Columbus Jack]

We really need to keep winning

Looks likes Dubi makes his return, lines

Is DMac injured?

 

[1857 Howitzer]

Is DMac injured?

He did not skate today, so he must be nicked up.

 

[pete goegan]

He did not skate today, so he must be nicked up.

Thanks, Howi.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

He did not skate today, so he must be nicked up.

The dreaded "bumps and bruises" perhaps?

@smitchcd "Richards said MacKenzi dealing with nagging UB issue but could be back in vs' CHI on Thurs. He's been icing shoulder for while now. "#CBJ"

@RobMixer "Richards said John Moore is "a little bit away" from returning and Anisimov is going day-by-day. #CBJ

@jrimercbj "quote from #CBJ coach Todd Richards" our goal is to make the playoffs" That said out focus is tonight's game Vs #Canucks. #keepwinning"

 

[HoldFast13]

I was thinking it looked like he went down a little weird when he got in that fight and turtled right away, I'm wondering if he didn't tweak something. Hopefully it's not serious.

 

[InjuredChoker]

Looks like Lou is starting.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I have a feeling it ends tonight.

Win or lose, this streak has been fun. Just play your game, boys, and let the chips fall where they may.

We play on the edge. Playing a team this gifted, there is a good chance we'll end up on the wrong side. A couple of mistakes and we're down 2-0.

Glad to see Dubi back.

When I look at our lines, I feel far different about them than when I did at the beginning of the year. More confident. There still isn't anything like the Sedin twins in there, but there is some danger in there for other teams if they aren't careful.

 

[db2011]

I have a feeling it ends tonight.

I feel the same way but I recognize it's not rational. Even still, I expect a competitive team, since that's what we've been watching for weeks now

 

[NotWendell]

Both teams slightly improved since we beat them last week. They have Luongo in net. We have Dubi back. The added confidence of a sweep of Detroit tips the balance in our favor. Jackets in another close one.

 

[Jyrki]

Dunno how this one will turn out. I believe in the Jackets' ability to keep outworking the opposition (esp. with Dubi back) but there's no doubt the Canucks locker room is under a sense of urgency - they have to be.

I'll guess 3-2 Canucks in OT but it can really go any way. Should be an... eventful match.

 

[Matthew]

The lack of time in the GDT thread title makes me realize that GDT titles are how I know what time the game starts 90 percent of the time.

 

[Zarathustra]

I have a feeling it ends tonight.

I kind of share this sentiment, but I thought it would've ended in Detroit, as well. So let's hope we're wrong.
