GDT: Game 1: Columbus at Buffalo | 10/9 7PM EDT

[NotWendell]

I now feel a little less nervous about all of the injuries.

 

[Fred Glover]

We are in first place

 

[LoveCBJ]

Good win Jackets.

 

[Socks]

That was fun. Not the prettiest game at times. But 2 pts are 2 pts.

 

[Jackets16]

Loving Wennberg.

He looked really good tonight.

 

[Fred Glover]

I now feel a little less nervous about all of the injuries.

Me too

Nice depth, good looking youngsters for present and future

 

[jackets4life]

Much better game than I was anticipating. Very relieving.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

So I've been gushing on Wennberg for months now, what do you think?

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Not the best game the Jackets have played, but a very encouraging sign given the injury/rust issues this team has.

 

[The Jones Zone]

2 points.......2 points.....2 points

I'll be Captain obvious-----Buffalo was a good first opponent with all our injuries and RJ needing time to get in game shape.

Best of all, CBJ Hockey is Back!!!

I like the way Larsen has been pumping up Dano during the game.

What a move and goal by Cam Atkinson. I think he is going to have a big year.

I noticed more support and interaction between coaches and players than previously. Maybe because the team is so young?

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

That was fun. Not the prettiest game at times. But 2 pts are 2 pts.

Thanks, Geddy.


Anyone?

 

[Jackets16]

We dominated the game, IMO. Won 3-1 and could have had a few more goals at least. Not sure why some are saying we didn't play that well.

That could be, but we have been pretty young recently. I liked it though.

 

[Socks]

Probably, at least with Larsen, because he's so familiar with all the youngsters.

 

[jacketsgeek]

It's odd... until the middle of last year I never felt comfortable about what the CBJ could do. I could hardly relax with any kind of lead. I had no confidence that they wouldn't crumble at any minute.

But, not anymore. I feel this group (even the kids) are scrappers and will pull through. Bob will need to be Bob.

3-1 Good guys.

Thank you, thank you very much!!!!

 

[cbjfaninmo]

Way to go CBJ!!! 2 points!!!

 

[blahblah]

Good road game. Saturday will be more of a test and measure of where we are at.

I think you should change your name to CBJWennberg41

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Very happy about this game. Had some slow moments in the 3rd, and started the game pretty slow. But overall dominated. Lets get New York now

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I think you should change your name to CBJWennberg41

I am, actually. I just need to make sure he's keeping 41

 

[WashedUp]

Three of our best players are out, our best player is out of shape, we are starting a hodgepodge of rookies and AHL'ers. Unless Bob plays lights out.......Sabres 3 Jackets 1

Got the score right....must have been that dam spell check, changed the teams around........

[Jorge]

Thanks, Geddy.


Anyone?

Good control of the zone against a bad team very amped up to play. Need to see more, but things should be fine. Glad Bob didn't have to stand on his head; he's going to be doing enough of that

To be fair, there's no way that anyone could've reasonably expected RyJo to be in NHL game shape on Opening Night after missing an entire preseason.
