Getting fancy. The old boston garden.

Please tank.

 

[We Want Ten]

I was gonna ask if there was a game tonight.


CBJ 5
BOS 3


I have turned the last few games off at some point, this team has just zapped my interest. Hopefully it gets going again.

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

This game has beat-down written all over it. Only hope for the Jackets is the B's are a little out of it after a long 6 game road trip.

 

[Crede777]

Maybe we'll score a goal tonight.

 

[cbjfaninmo]

We are the tankiest bunch of tankers that ever tanked. Tank you very much!

 

[EspenK]

This game is the opposite of Dr. Fire's take on the last oen. Its one we should lose, possibly convincingly, so look for the Jackets to at least keep it close and maybe steal 2 points.

This is a critical stretch for draft position. 9 of the next 11 are easily losses and the 2 "easy" wins will probably go the other way. These 11 games will tell alot. Jackets will go 8-2-1 to sew up the 10th spot.

Personally I'm for tanking. But team is going to fight and I'm going to die and rise from the dead with team.
Go Jackets! CBJ 5:1

Wow, looking at our schedule, it's going to be brutal to close out the year. Please for the love of God, just lose like we're supposed to and don't go on a crazy tear.

 

[Dr. Fire]

Important game to lose tonight. Toronto is obviously dumping all it's players to tank for the draft, so we have our work cut out for us.

Brutal...for the tank? Leafs, Sabres, Oilers, Flyers twice, Devils twice. Only three more back-to-backs the rest of the season after tomorrow. A 5-game home stand in March.

The next 5 are against teams either in the playoff hunt or leading their division (BOS, DET, NJ, FLA, NYR), followed by a back-to-back against the Oilers and Flyers. Then a five game home stand all against playoff teams again (DET, PIT, TB, DET, NJ) with another back-to-back against NJ. Then finish out the year with PHI, CAR, @NSH, @WSH, @NYI, @CAR, NYR, @TOR, @BUF, CHI. Still not exactly the most favorable schedule even with the home stands and lack of back to backs. Edmonton is much better than what their record shows, NJ and Carolina are still fighting for the playoffs, and the majority of the rest (sans Buffalo and Toronto) are in contention, too.

We had a brutal schedule this year

We've almost reached the tipping point where it will be quicker to say who isn't scouting us.

Seems like a lot of people to look at Tyutin...

 

[Dednimnepo]

sloppy play so far

 

[Dednimnepo]

I've got the Boston feed. Man are they painful to listen to.

 

[The Jones Zone]

 

[Dednimnepo]

nice pp goal

 

[Halfboard]

That is Blue Jacket hockey.....

 

[Cowumbus]

Was that interference by Loui?

 

[KlichkoBro*]

What a stupid tip in by Boone on his own net. He makes plenty of silly plays actually.

 

[The Jones Zone]

Did that deflect off Jenner

 

[The Four Seven]

It's gonna be a good goal.

Told ya.

 

[Dednimnepo]

Boone on the deflection

Looked like interference to me. Whatever
