GDT: CLB/CAR: We Lost to the Wings?! WE SUCK AHHHH PANIC!

[Derailed75]

Reading the Jackets board. Their fans have given up on the season. Laine went down in practice and was flexing his leg heading to the locker room, no confirmation but looks like he might be out for tonight

Rumor has it that the real reason is due to a cannon malfunction...

 

[OBXer]

Just play the game in front of you and don't look ahead to the next game. Oh wait you can look ahead to the next game and the next and the one after that and still play the team in front of you tonight. Problem solved!

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

OH WOULD YOU LOOK AT THE CLOCK...

...IT'S RAID TIME.

Hope they aren’t as sleepy as I am due to the day long stormy darkness. Strive for points in the home joint. Go Canes.

 

[geehaad]

Let's hope the Hurricanes aren't as overblown tonight as this supposed storm was today.

Ok, I haven't really said anything about lines in a LOOOONG time, but can we please try Svech-Aho-Necas? Let Necas dance around and dangle the puck and draw guys away, Svech can bulldoze his way to the net, Aho can pretty much do whatever...all can score so the other team would struggle with who to cover. Maybe that can get Svech out of his funk?

Then you have NSF for a second line...let the d-men dump in point shots while NSF storms the net to screen or bang in rebounds (or let Staal do some elite passing to NN who's one of our best finishers atm)

I don't like rooting for people to get injured, but I'm pretty okay with hearing that news.

 

[Unsustainable]

I think they should considering winning this one

The Nino/Necas connection has been wildly productive so I don’t see that getting split up unless their offense starts to dry up.

But we want fun

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

But we want fun

WINNING IS FUN.

 

[tarheelhockey]

I don't like Laine being out for humanitarian reasons, but it would be nice to get a W here by any means necessary. Given our own injury situation, losing-streak prevention is key right now.

True...but happy Svech could help with that.

The Necas factor has worked for Trocheck, Nino, Aho so far

 

[Lempo]

I don't like Laine being out for humanitarian reasons

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Got my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine today and am in a good mood. Don't let me down tonight Canes.

Not sure we will have that advantage after all

Joonas Korpisalo will start in net against the Canes, and the Blue Jackets will make a trio of lineup changes with Mikhail Grigorenko, Ryan MacInnis and Stefan Matteau drawing in. Here’s how Columbus is expected to line up:
Oliver Bjorkstrand - Nick Foligno - Patrik Laine
Max Domi - Jack Roslovic - Cam Atkinson
Boone Jenner - Riley Nash - Mikhaeil Grigorenko
Stefan Matteau - Ryan MacInnis - Eric Robinson
Zach Weresnki - Seth Jones
Vladislav Gavrikov - David Savard
Dean Kukan - Michael Del Zotto
Joonas Korpisalo
Elvis Merzlikins
Injuries and scratches: Alexandre Texier (COVID protocol), Kevin Stenlund, Gabriel Carlsson, Scott Harrington
Taxi squad: Zac Dalpe, Cam Johnson

 

[HisIceness]

I agree.

 

[HisIceness]

Since bad weather is coming and Necas is czech for bad weather, will Nachos have a great game tonight?

On the other hand, perhaps we can take advantage of their strange decision to dress a 51-year-old.

Duke Energy has once more decided that I do not need electricity

Oh no now the sun is peeking through. We are in trouble now

[AhosDatsyukian]

Can we do a try before you buy where we take Domi for these 4 games and then decide whether we want to go through with trading for him?
