First game for the Flames since Iginla was traded. Hope they are still shellshocked and Jackets can get 2 points out of this.

 

[zukezuchegno]

in for 2

5 percent loss in chances last night. Could be 3 tonight to knock it down to 3 percent.

I'm on the tank bandwagon officially. It was nice while it lasted.

 

[CBJx614]

Im with you matthew, flames need to go on a little post jerome winning streak, rangers need to lose a few more and a few eastern conference teams need to win a few.

 

[CBJ Scruffy]

No chance I'd ever cheer for a loss... I wouldn't hate it, but I'm not on the tank bandwagon just yet. 4-2 Calgary (with empty netter) in a tight one.

 

[Crede777]

It's a win-win for me.

We lose, we are closer to getting a good pick.

We win, Columbus remains competitive for a few more days.

We blow them out, we get to read the Calgary fans' lamentations here on the forums.

 

[major major]

I'll always root for a win.

What are the lineups in the GDT based off of? Is Wiz out of the lineup?

#CBJ G Steve Mason to start tonight vs #Flames. D Adrian Aucoin out with bumps and bruises, Todd Richards said.

 

[Nordique]

Watching for fun. Would love to win, doesn't suck if we lose at this point either.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I'll root for a win, but I am officially on the MacKinnon wagon again.

 

[MFRONE]

So Aucoin can't play tonight, but he was okay to play over healthy guys last night?

We were all hoping for different results during this trip, but knew that the road was not kind to the CBJ.

They lose tonight, it will pretty much be game-set-match. There is no way that you can even expect them to win most of the remaining home games considering who they play in those games.

I want wins, but sadly I see us falling back to a top 5 pick. Maybe even top 3.

Sorry, but that is the 13 year Jacket fan in me coming out.

 

[jacketman10]

Never gonna root for the team to lose. I don't mind it if they do. At least putting forth the effort makes me happy.

 

[Columbus Mike]

I never root for them to lose, just like I never root for Michigan to win.

Both would be OK if it happened tonight.

 

[blahblah]

After moving Iginla, it would seem to work in our favor for a victory. Therefore, we lose.

 

[Crede777]

I'll root for a win, but I am officially on the MacKinnon wagon again.

Oh god I would be so happy if we got Mackinnon. We'd have to out-suck Colorado, Florida, and Buffalo though and I don't see that happening.

I see us picking, at minimum, 4th overall. Probably 5th-8th though. Right outside of the top-tier of guys and right at home with the likes of "not quite good enough."

I wouldnt say im on the mackinnon/jones bandwagon cause theres no way we lose out, but more like a one of barkov/drouin/lindholm and one of shinkaruk/monahan/erne

 

[aRussian]

Well, doesn't seem losing will produce the desired results (high pick) and winning enough to get to the playoffs is increasingly bleak... I don't know what to root for at the moment. Team can do whatever tonight and I'll feel neutral

You know that we could win the lottery, and draft first this year, even if we finish fifth. Pretty sure the new rule take effect this draft. Not saying the jackets would get that lucky, as we know our history, but at some point were destined to catch a break

We;re too whipped a fan base to believe that's possible

Hahahahahahahahahaahhahaa.

You must be new here.

 

[NotWendell]

It's come to this. It's a must-win game and we have to start Steve Mason. (I'd make the same decision, but I'm just noting the irony)
