Multiple reports that Bobs starts tonight.

Excellent. I was excited when we traded for him. I think this kid has what it takes to be elite.

 

[Fro]

FYI all that are on Twitter.... Nick (@CBJ_DJ) is taking requests for tonight currently...just don't bug him about the entrance and goal song...he's not going to divulge them

Excited to see this.

I saw this on my walk thru with my ticket rep the first Sunday of training camp...it looks just like a mini Speedway, it's located where that little Blueline Store was to the right of the cannon, just inside the main entrance to the arena [behind the 24 oz can beer stand]...beer, sodas, aspirin, gum, potato chips, et.al. ....the prices were high, but hey, if you need something quick, it's there

 

[Fro]

and also...to quote steve perry.... Just a city boy, born and raised in **** Detroit

 

[JacketsFanWest]

What makes me optimistic is how well Springfield is playing and it's the same system in Columbus. Springfield is currently 2nd in their conference and 8-1-1 in the last 10 games. No matter what who they lose, no matter what goalie is playing, no matter if it's Atkinson, Calvert, Savard and McElhinney or Sean Collins, Michael Chaput and Paul Dainton and Prout they're winning.

If there's similar buy-in with the players in Columbus, I think this team can really surprise everyone. And destroying the Dead Things is a good start.

I have needed an aspirin more times than I care to remember while at the arena on game day. Let's hope there will be less need for them this year. I for one think this kind of retail inside NWA is long overdue.

Is it like one of those tiny convenience stores in the airport?

Im curious too...although no way in hell I'm eating Sushi from a "convenience" store inside a sporting arena. I prefer my Hockey without a serving of Ptomaine Poisoning.

 

[LetsGOJackets!!]

This is a gdt?

& were yapping about aspirin and Jeremy Jacobs.. Jackets Win!! Jackets Win!! Jackets Win!! don't have a clue how they do it, but Jackets Win!!!

Just kidding.. Jack MF Johnson scores Foligno scores, after deking to his back hand Artem scores on a slapper stick side (another roofer) ha ha. Dubinsky with a Gordie Howe hattie

 

[Mayor Bee]

Interesting note: per Porty, that convenience shop is run by Delaware North, which is owned by Bruins' owner Jeremy Jacobs.

Interesting sequence here...

Dispatch: "And will you need any hummus or ChapStick today?" 'Healthy' convenience store to open at Nationwide Arena http://*******/WlHkHH

@Aportzline u know who owns Delaware north co? I would think first before buying from them.

http://twitter.com/Aportzline/status/293347942746685440

As @KreiOfTheTiger notes, new store at Nationwide run by Delaware North, which is owned by NHL lockout hardliner/Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs

That doesn't look like KreiOfTheTiger "noted"; that looks like editorializing. Did Portzline get promoted from "reporter" to "columnist" and I missed it?

lol, I bet if you ask him you will be blocked.

DOOOOOO it!!!! Double dog dare ya.

 

[EspenK]

Wings fans so disenchanted they don't even have a game day thread going for tonight.

 

[1857 Howitzer]

If you do it's not like you will miss anything. Since the lockout ended he has not been the first to tweet any information of value. @robmixer seems to be the best CBJ source of information on twitter so far.

It's hard to buy into the hope that anything good is going to happen for us this season. We have the worst defense in the league, a boring/old offensive core, and an uninspired front office. Our "top 6" signing was a guy who dominated a Swiss league. And he plays on the first line.

Good luck tonight guys. Anxious to see how the team works without Nash.

Wowzers, Detroit fans have come a long way since the "Red Wings are the best drafting team in all of sports" era.

 

[BHD]

As an outsider...
Saturday's performance looked like the most cohesive Jackets team I've seen. They all seemed to be on the same page, looking good while doing so. I'll be watching the game.

That's mainly grasping false hope. We have some solid prospects. Some that are actually very good and that fans are excited about, yet they won't see NHL play for another 2-3 years when the DRW are trying to stay out of last place.

According to NHL.com they're showing it.

Per Twitter:

http://www.detroitnews.com/article/...ut-Jonathan-Ericsson-against-the-Blue-Jackets

Not going to lie, I was kind of hoping Ericsson would sit. Hope he's okay (I'm not a terrible person!), but he's another big piece of the Red Wing's puzzle.

First Row is back up at a new URL but I have it bookmarked at home and am not there. I just Googled it. Or try atdee.net.
