Khabi was a stud against St. Louis. He's got pretty good sv% this season. Battle of the Russian goalies.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Foligno? What'd I miss?

Can we just assume the game ends 0-0, and go straight to the shootout?

He was hurt early in the last game. Sounds like a day to day thing.

“@Aportzline: #CBJ LW Nick Foligno is hurting after getting hit early in Tuesday's 1-0 SO loss to VAN. Finished game, but questionable for Thurs. vs. EDM.”

Thanks Howi. (I recently opened a Twitter account myself, for the express purpose of providing a news feed rather than anything outgoing, but I am still not in the habit of checking it. Besides, it's easier to let someone else do the work...)

I think it would be easier that way, yes .

 

[Nordique]

Can't settle for anything less than 2 points. Shake off the back to back losses and get this thing moving again.

Need this one. Put a wager on it on reddit. If I lose I have to compliment Scott Howson for a week...

So basically you just bet that Scott Howson assembled a good team, in the hopes that wouldn't have to complement him.

Talk about putting your money where your mouth isn't.

The worst 5 on 5 team in the league (AINEC) and then the Iginla-less Flames for the back to back.

3 points necessary?

If we're going to make a serious run for the playoffs, 3-4 points are absolutely necessary.

Just checking the critical pulse.

Good, I can use another acolyte.

 

[CBJx614]

At this point every point we gt is critical. But if SJ and/or Nashville decides to turn it on were toast.

 

[NotWendell]

Just checking the critical pulse.

I'm with ya.

“@Aportzline: #CBJ LW Nick Foligno not skating this morning. Sean Collins taking his place w R.J. Umberger and Ryan Johansen.”

Welcome back, Wiz! RT @Aportzline: #CBJ D James Wisniewski looks to be in the lineup tonight after a 14-game absence.

 

[1857 Howitzer]

“@Aportzline: #CBJ D pairs have been reworked: Johnson - Aucoin: Tyutin - Wisniewski; Prout - Nikitin.”

“@Aportzline: Other #CBJ pair is Moore - Erixon. Both appear scratches tonight.”

Would have liked to see Moore or Erixon there instead of Aucoin.

It's not the complimenting Scott Howson part that makes me want us to win. It's the fact that if the CBJ win he has to compliment Bobrovsky for a week using quotes from Batman movies. I think that outcome is much more hilarious.

Scratching Erixon for Aucoin also irks me. Hopefully Aucoin gets moved soon.

And I really liked the Johnson-Tyutin pairing. It was like a real #1 pair. But I'm guessing Richards wants the solidity of Tyutin with Wiz.

#CBJ LW Colton Gillies and D John Moore are healthy scratches.

Erixon in, Jackets play with 7 D.

 

[Skraut]

I just want to add another building to the list of buildings the Jackets have been victorious in.

 

[major major]

I hope Foligno gets back soon. The guy does so many things well and he gets every line he is on moving.

I will go so far as to say that Foligno is our most important skater.
