GDT: Game 46: Columbus vs. Washington | 1/27 7PM EST

[Jorge]

Wings and Pens with some Jackets fans and a smattering of pretty much every other NHL team (maybe the Avs a little more than the other 26).

The CBS affiliate is pretty much the only one to show NHL highlights on the local news, and they show the Jackets.

EDIT: The AHL team draws pretty well (currently in second place in the AHL somewhere around 8,300 a night, had 14,400 or so on Saturday night.

Interesting. I often wonder if having all of our minor league affiliates in-state has ever been discussed. Not just for travel costs, but as far as building the fan base across the state is concerned. I guess there will always be PIT and DET fans, but still...

Wow. Our posts were nearly identical.

I also see a lot of Rangers jerseys at Monsters games. Not sure why.

Great minds think alike.

Heck, Columbus still has DET and PIT fans.

I have to think there will be a Wilson/Boll bout, we'll see what Boll brings

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Letestu with some rust

 

[MAHJ71]

Boll not sporting an A on his sweater tonight according to a few on Twitter... interesting.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Don't the Jackets rotate who actually wears the "A" throughout the season among 4 or 5 guys?

Letestu with some rust

Not being developed properly

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Not being developed properly

Shoulda claimed that fully developed star Mike Richards to replace Letestu.

EDIT: And then trade Johansen, Wennberg, and Wisniewski.

 

[BluejacketNut]

A Calvert, Wennberg, Morin line, ouch

 

[Cowumbus]

hopefully letestu gets back into the swing of things soon

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Yeah powerplay is still on vacation

 

[Cowumbus]

entries are terrible

 

[Cowumbus]

just a very boring laxed game

 

[EspenK]

Typical Jackets. Outshot but pretty good D limits the Caps scoring chances. And pretty good goal tending by C-Mac, although a couple of juicy rebounds went to the right spots.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

This is what I expect first period of first game back from All-Star Break.

 

[major major]

entries are terrible

The Caps are blocking our usual cross pass on our entry, they've got us figured out.

 

[Cowumbus]

I bet we get a winter classic at ohio stadium in next 5 years, just because the ASG

Mac looks good tonight....

XM NHL Network tonight congratulated CBJ for a great All-Star weekend.... They also are supporting the CBJ injury complaints being over 250 man games etc. but did say the Penguins had one of the worst injury seasons in history last year and were still good enough to advance in the playoffs.....

The Caps don't look nearly as rusty as we do.

I'm thinking Stadium Series due to market size, but the Shoe may put us over the top for a WC.

I wonder how much having at least some of the non-all-stars around the host city (possibly attending parties and other events) has an effect.
