Said the guy with the blackhawks avatar.

I couldn't really come up with anything creative. I searched Blackhawks on google and I came across a Homer Simpson version so I made that. I have made one for almost any opponent.

If Richards thinks losing 4-0 to the Yotes was "decent" and an improvement, then he's going to love tonight's outcome.

That said, I predict the Jackets win just to ruin our mood.

This is going to be a blood bath.

Break out the Chelsea Dagger.

I normally don't make predictions but here it goes.

5-2 Chicago

Stalberg w/ 2.

Most people want to blame Mason or give up hope because he is starting but it doesn't matter who is in goal.

The CBJ team defense stinks and we can't buy a goal but we'll get a couple of lucky ones just because Chicago's biggest weakness is inconsistant goaltending.

 

[NotWendell]

6-1 Hawks. Stahlberg, Sharp, Hossa, Umberger with the goals.

 

[USNBluejack]

As long as they come out, skate hard, and play the defense that was advertised as being our strong point all off season, I'll be satisfied. Just look like you care dudes.

 

[NotWendell]

This not good. Call JAM now!

@Aportzline
#CBJ RW Cam Atkinson had a set-back w lower-body injury. Won't play tonight vs. #Blackhawks, likely to miss at least a week, maybe more.

Even as a Hawks fan I've always had a soft spot for Columbus (since I'm an Ohio State graduate) Is the D really that bad? I loved Wisniewski when he was with us. He just wanted too much money. Jack Johnson is a stud and I thought FedorTyutin and Nikita Nikitin were pretty solid. I can understand the offense taking some time to come around but that defense looks pretty darn good to me, at least the top 4.

The problem is we have no offense, so the defense is under duress the entire game.

Is Bob starting tonight?

Need to know asap.

I have to miss the game tonight to play a gig. I guess I'll have to settle for playing some good music, making some money, and having a couple of drinks instead of watching the Hawks destroy the CBJ 6-0.

 

[5StringBuzz]

Nope.

 

[joshjoshjosh]

I just don't have a good feeling about this game!

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!?

From the Hawks' board....

Here's an interesting stat, our top 4 (Hossa, Kane, Sharp, Toews) have a combined 23 points. The top 4 for Columbus, at least as far as ice time goes (Umberger, Dubinsky, Anisimov, Propel) have a combined 4 points.

 

[JKinCLE]

I'll be working during the game tonight... I wonder if it will be as painful to watch on espn's gamecast.

 

[Timeless Winter]

Mason in net?? lmfao. This will be a massacre.

 

[NotWendell]

I like the hamsters. I like the song. But for the love of gawd, c'mon Kia, get a new commercial!!!

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Why wouldnt you just put this in the GDT?

 

[Timeless Winter]

Mason starting but I am sure he'll get pulled.

 

[MFRONE]

Is it just me or is Natalie's hair taller then normal tonight?

 

[joshjoshjosh]

Rooney sucks.
