I would like to see what Anderson can bring, hope he's not a healthy scratch to play Tropp and Collins.

 

[jacketsnc33]

Sounds like Calvert is possibly out tonight.

 

[ndd17]

My predictions on this game:
Shoots 35-20 rags
We will miss in PK
We will score in PP
We blow out two goal leads in last 10 minutes.
5-3 rags.
Richards will not be fire after this game.
But I hope I'm wrong. I hate the rags. That is all.

Major reshuffle of #CBJ bottom nine
this morning. 43-19-71, then Morin-
Wennberg-Atkinson, Collns-Letestu-
Anderson, Tropp-Dubinsky-Boll.
Poor Dubinsky.

 

[Samkow]

Man, Richards must be really pissed at Dubinsky for that penalty. That second line seems intriguing though.

 

[cbjfaninmo]

The criticalness to the criticality of this game is, well...ummmm... critical...

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

This has all the makings of a 5-0 pasting. Bob better be superhuman tonight. BTW, looking at the injury lists for other teams just makes me depressed - Jackets have been so unlucky in this regard.

 

[Jackets Fan]

Good to see HCTR holding Dubi accountable for that stupid penalty. Hopefully he responds with a huge game.

Unlikely. NYR played last night and traveled from Boston. This is a should win. The Blue Jackets need to be all over these guys early, and take advantage of the fatigued team.

[mr grumypants]

Wishy-washy line-juggler TR will have him back at his standard spot between Cam and Calvert after just a couple shifts. It'll be like a college football player being suspended for the first quarter against Arkansas A&T Branson campus.

When was the last time the CBJ took advantage of a tired team?

crap...he took a nasty slapshot off the foot and could barely get to the bench but finished the game, hoping he's ok, he's played good lately imo.

Poor Dubinsky.

No way that happens in the game, he's just sending a message in the morning skate.

Apparently his potential absence is due to an illness..or perhaps a combination.

 

[EspenK]

Not saying those lines are not very good, its just the entire collection would not strike fear into many teams except maybe Edmonton.

Hopefully the Rangers (Tanner Glass) goons it up and we get 11 pp's.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Yes, I on the edge of my seat to see a guy who has one goal in 30+ games centering my second line.......I do like seeing a Dubi being called on his poor decision making.

 

[BluejacketNut]

Well glad its at home with that 2nd line,yikes, on the road that line would get destroyed with line matching. We can barely score and the Rangers may be in a ornery mood. Hope we get the win since im going, but im not overly confident.

 

[Nordique]

I have to agree. It would be different if Wennberg had earned a promotion, but this is TR sending a message to Dubinsky, I'd be shocked to see Dubinsky on the 4th for more than two shifts. He's a beast vs NYR.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Well, it looks like HCTR finally took this board's advice and 'upgraded' the fourth line.

 

[Jackets Fan]

I'm thinking this COULD be the start of a turnaround. I've never seen Todd Richards seem so pissed off ( especially at one single player ).
Good to see him finally say enough is enough. This team needed a kick in the ass. All of these collapses have been unacceptable, especially one after another after another like this.

 

[blahblah]

Bob has been terrible this month. Hopefully he turns that around tonight.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

4-2 loss, ill be there

 

[EspenK]

4-2 loss, ill be there

Bring the bag

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

I would really love to see lines like this, spread the limited wealth of scoring we have so we aren't rolling 2 lines of AHL players

Foligno-Johansen-Atkinson
Hartnell-Dubinsky-Morin
Calvert-Wennberg-Anderson
Collins-Letestu-Tropp

The bottom six has been a **** storm lately, really don't understand how Jarmo hasn't made a move to improve it. Even when we get healthy, it's still pretty bad.
