Quoting myself from this morning in the B-lo GDT:

The importance of (starting another winning streak) cannot be overstated. Doesn't even have to be eight more, although that would obviously be helpful. All of the losses should really be separated by at least a couple games.

Critical.

 

[cbjfaninmo]

HUGE points on the line. Interesting to see how the team bounces back. Go Jackets!

 

[Columbus Mike]

For the good of some on this board I really hope we don't lose tonight.

 

[anteater90]

With 7 games before the olympic break. I want us to go at least 4-3.

 

[Nordique]

Lets win a couple games and put the Rangers in our rear view mirror.

 

[Fro]

with Car, Ott, Wash, Fla in our near future (before going west) would be nice to go 4-0 and then try to go 1-2/2-1 out west before the break...

 

[IBleedUnionBlue]

Start a new streak.

Dwyer may be out. In which case, slot Ruutu there and put Bowman in Ruutu's slot.

We've won 9 of 12 and have been playing great hockey of late so tonight. We're one point apart as well. Should be a good one tonight. Excited to attend. Very impressed with your turnaround.

 

[Socks]

I have a feeling Bob is going to play out of his bloody mind tonight.

 

[Bobcat110]

It's been what....8 years since they've beaten us? Why end that now?

 

[jackets4life]

No Comeau tonight

 

[Bobcat110]

Anton Khudobin starting for Hurricanes? They having goalie injuries? I guess he's played well for them...but kinda surprised.

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

Canes have been hot of late too. Think it comes down to Bob v. Khudobin and I think Bob wins. Have a feeling Calvert's going to have a big game.

 

[HockeyGuy1964]

I think Bob will rebound & we'll have a game.

Go Jackets Go.

 

[blahblah]

Big, big week. Hopefully the Jackets and Bob revert to previous form. You aren't going to win may games giving up a short handed goal, never mind two. We can't have Bob giving up goals from 8 thousand feet either.

We have a chance to put some distance between us and 2 divisional foes and another team battling for a playoff spot.

We've put ourselves in a strong position, the best we've ever been in at this point in a season. Let's bury some teams and compete for that #2 spot in the division and home ice in the first round.

Anton Khudobin starting for Hurricanes? They having goalie injuries? I guess he's played well for them...but kinda surprised.

He's been their starting goal tender for quite a while now, basically this entire month. He hasn't given up more than 3 goals in a game thus far, but his save percentage hasn't been that great for a few games now.

The Canes are scoring in bunches the last couple of games, but otherwise they've been in fairly close games.

Ward's been on IR for some time now, IIRC.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Ward's been on IR for some time now, IIRC.

Cam Ward is quickly becoming Rick DiPietro without the 15 year contract.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Big game

 

[FANonymous]

i'm hearing reports that Cam Ward is on IR.

 

[The Jones Zone]

I'll be there!

Let's Go Jackets!!

 

[Jaxs]

This game just might be critical.

Need to win to keep the boys confidence up
