[Old Guy]

Seems like a good time for a three point game from #8. A goal and two assists sounds about right. That would pump up the Calder discussion.

 

[EspenK]

Lucky 13. No way we lose 3 in a row to the Bruins. Right?

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

Need to shut down the B's top line - Marchand absolutely owned the Jackets in the opener.

 

[Tulipunaruusu*]

To retool and make the play-offs is an ambitious goal but quite possible. Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand were World Cup heroes on the best line on the planet. This season they seek to raise a 20-year-old linemate's game to superior heights. David Backes already has answered the bell, showing with actions rather than words that accountability begins with heart that shows right through the spoked beef.

 

[CBJ goalie]

Thus continues stretch of tough games.... although this one's different, because the B's might be in their heads because of 2 losses to them already.
Last 2 losses proved they could keep up with skill and hard work.
This one would be a huge mental win.

 

[CharlotteJacket]

One thing I believe is overlooked in our season this year is how disciplined we are in taking fewer penalties. We're near the bottom in minutes per game and are almost 4 minutes fewer this year versus last.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

1st game, Dubi-Jenner-Cam combined for a -13. Wow.

 

[LetsGOJackets!!]

I'm all in on the CBJ 3-2 win! Atkinson, Saad, Werenski no pressure

 

[GoJackets1]

Since Jones came back from his injury, we haven't given up more than 3 goals in a game, and we've only given up 3 goals 3 times.

And of course as I say that, it will end tonight. 4-2 Bruins, Saad and Savard with goals.

Go Jackets!

 

[Nordique]

Tough matchup for us, I think for 2 reasons. Boston is strong up front and we have trouble with their physicality. At the other end, their D corp moves the puck well enough to negate much of our forecheck.

We have to use our speed trump card in this game.

The boys have to learn to beat this team. Let's see if they can figure it out tonight.

 

[Socks]

This will be a tough one. Boston always plays us hard. This is a better team than the one we were when we lost to them earlier in the season but we can't take them lightly. They're good and they're going to want to end our streak.

 

[Arch City Zach]

I'm gonna say 4-3 SO win so Lambert can keep saying we win the in the coin flip.

 

[NotWendell]

No issue getting refocused for this opponent. First game was the first game for a bunch of new players getting used to each other. What advantages that weren't negated by the Bruins in game 2 were negated was bad ice (slowing our speed, sloppier passing). My biggest concern tonight is rust.

 

[cbjfaninmo]

This will be a tough test. Need to survive the first 10 and get our legs. Just keep winning!

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Time to find out who ate too much

 

[Bobcat110]

CBJ win 4-0.

Jenner, Wenny, Werenski, Foligno

 

[Monk]

Time to find out who ate too much

I did.

 

[DEF]

Spoked beef?

 

[Byrral]

Last day in Michigan before heading back to CBJ country. Will be watching on NHL.TV. Love to see that Nationwide will be packed tonight with CBJ faithful and a couple Broons fans.

I will not doubt that this team will continue to win until they don't. Boston has beat them twice but has not seen the relentless style they have been playing since the early season stumbles. Thinking this will be a hard checking, low scoring game.

We want 13.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Got invited to the game and I'm in club level for the first time ever. Go us

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

Just win, baby.

 

[ca5150]

Got invited to the game and I'm in club level for the first time ever. Go us

Enjoy! Once you go club, you never go back!

 

[LoveCBJ]

sneaking in quietly as not to offend anyone....GO JACKETS! i'm leaving now.

 

[CharlotteJacket]

Just curious…the Bruins flew in this morning and are leaving after the game. Where do they go after their morning skate? Do they just lounge around the arena? Sightsee?
