If Cam scores 2 goals on 1 leg tonite......

 

[Heinze 57]

This has all the ingredients for a major let down so I'm not feeling too good about it, but this is also a different team so who really knows.

Penguins 4
Blue Jackets 2

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

I missed this yesterday. A hedge against Atkinson's availability no doubt.

 

[Columbus Mike]

Jackets favored against the 21-7-5 Pens? What is the world coming to?

I probably haven't been this excited for a regular season game since the finale against Nashville in 2013.

CBJ 4 Arrogant Whiners 0

Saad hat trick and Werenski

If you're not pumped for this one, you have to be almost dead. Would love to see a big win tonight. Crosby did not sleep well last night... Dubi did. In the famous words of Montrose...."Have you heard the news?....there's good rockin' tonight"...Let's Go Jackets!!!

 

[Dr. Fire]

Two first place teams in two nights. Pittsburgh, then Montreal. Two wins would be fan-****ing-tastic, but I will be happy with a split.

GO JACKETS!

 

[Jive Pawnbroker]

Here's hoping both teams bring their A game tonight. Should be fun - any point we get will be appreciated.

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

I hope the Jackets don't lay an egg tonight - if they do, the media will go with the "not ready for primetime" theme.

 

[WannabeFinn]

All I want for my birthday is a Penguin slaughter

 

[WashedUp]

Need to be firing on all cylinders tonight, that includes Cam!!
Jackets 4-1

 

[JKinCLE]

If the Jackets can win tonight, I won't mind if tomorrow MTL returns the favor on the 10-0 pounding we gave em last month...as much

Having buddies over to watch who aren't really hockey fans, and this one can really win them over should the Jackets keep it rolling.

 

[CBJ goalie]

Biggest game of the season (so far).
If they win, it'd be huge.....they can jump Pittsbugh in the standing, and still retain 3 games in hand.
Damn, already getting nervous for this game....

Eff that, let's win two against the best and go into the Christmas break on a real roll.

 

[Socks]

Critical.

But seriously I can't wait for this one. I'm glad we're fairly slammed at work (taking a break to eat my bagel and write this) so next I'll think of this will be tonight. Can't wait! Go Jackets!!!

 

[CBJwheel]

All I want for my birthday is a Penguin slaughter

Yes!! Me too. Bring on the PAIN

Happy birthday!!

 

[Byrral]

Feels like a playoff game. It's December

Doubt Cam plays the next 2 games but maybe he has super healing powers.

Can't keep winning like this. Back to the mean. Young team still has some lessons to learn. Pittsburgh can do that to you. I think they lose but I think it's part of the process to becoming the team they are going to be in the future.

Just hoping for an exciting game no matter the outcome. Just no blowouts please (unless the CBJ are doing it ).

A win would leave me speechless.

Go CBJ.

 

[GoJackets1]

Hoping for the best tonight. Go Jackets!

 

[JKinCLE]

Honestly, without Letang the Pens defense looks pretty weak on paper (The game isn't played on paper). Maatta is having a down year. 2 pts in 33 games but still a +9. Schultz is playing out of his mind this year. Beyond that, nothing really stands out, and hopefully we can take advantage.

 

[EDM]

Cam's presence of absence could make a big difference. Would be nice if Foligno could score a goal tonite. It has been awhile for him, Anderson and Hartnell.

 

[LoveCBJ]

Go Jackets! Harty scores & Dubi vs. Cindy.

 

[CBJfan44]

Feels like a playoff game. I'm so pumped. Go Jackets!

 

[DarkandStormy]

Cindy.

-1 for still using a sexist insult. Grow up.

 

[Power Surge]

Pens fan coming in peace. Good luck. Pretty soon this may be the best rivalry in the division ... Best division in the league we are
