I like how a couple other global mods are pulling for you guys. 
Add me to the list. Go Jackets! Sweet goal from Gabby.

I give full credit to us keeping our foot on the gas.
After the second goal, the Blose stopped playing their game.
We can not let off the gas from here in out.

This is not my hat.
He put the puck in while fully reaching for it. Gaborik is finishing opportunities that we've been missing all season. I wasn't taking anything away from the passing. Gaborik was brought in to finish, and that's what he's doing, and it's where we've struggled. It's easy to take that for granted when the chances are getting buried and infuriating earlier in the season when we didn't have anyone that could bury them.

I've noticed it too... playoffs or not it's a great story.... The Jackets with Calvert, Atkinson, Gabby and some others speed has been the latest story...
It's been three seasons really, losing, hard nosed checking and now speed with skilled goals... (for the most part).
The current team reminds me of the 2006 post lockout Sabres...
Not minimizing Gaborik's play, at all, his hands are amazing. It was a great sequence, from the breakout, feed to Letestu at speed, and then the final backhand pass to the front of the net. That's a series of plays I'm not used to seeing from the CBJ.

Wiz has really turned it around, I must say. He was rushed back, but he's making up for it.
Congrats to him on 250 assists.

Indeed. It was all together a great play.

I'm always surprised how quickly people turn on Wiz. I said a few times he's probably still recovering from his injury. The guy blocks so many shots each night, and yes, he makes some dumb mistakes sometimes, but he's also only a -4 going into this game, in which he's already a +2. He's put some really good games together. he's one of the few guys that makes our point guys dangerous and I think he opens up space down low.

Oh I agree, I'm a huge Wiz supporter (heh). He is what he is. Our power play actually works when he's out there and is a serviceable defenseman,

Well. Those 2-3 games after he came back he was REALLY bad. Probably so bad that we could have won if he hadn't played...
That being said, it is nice to see him performing well this game. We need him and the rest of the team to play strong to have a chance at getting in the playoffs.

I agree. But Atkinson wasn't playing great after he came back from injury and people gave him the benefit of the doubt.
I think Wiz is an important part of the hockey team, but like I said, I'm just surprised how quickly people turn on him.
