Cool. Big trade last night.

NHL must have voided it. Looks like the Flames now.

 

[MAHJ71]

Will actually be watching this one so...

Head Says:
CBJ 2
CGY 3

[Speedy Sanderson]

Wonder if the Flames plan to truck any linesmen tonight.

 

[The Jones Zone]

Not sure how much confidence I have in Forsberg

Bourque has been an anchor recently....let Boll play so at least we can win a fight tonight

Cam and Calvert score

5-2 other guys

 

[Dr. Fire]

Another game between two teams going nowhere.

Yippee

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Another game between two teams going nowhere.

Yippee

Do you remember the past summer when both fan bases were convinced their teams were Stanley Cup contenders?

Good times

 

[CBJx614]

High scoring game tonight. 5-4 CBJ. Jonesy gets his first goal in a CBJ, Wennberg starts a goal scoring streak tonight.

 

[S1N4TR4]

Third game in four nights... Edmonton to Vancouver to Calgary... Pretty brutal. Saw where Jackets didn't land in Calgary til around 4 am their time.


Gonna be verrrrry heavy legs. I've never made a prediction before on here but I'll go with

Calgary - 4
Hudler, Backlund (2), Frolik.

CBJ - 2
Atkinson, Jenner.

I predict a lot of powerplays between both teams and at least 2 power play goals in this game between both teams.

Yeesh. If they're as productive as I am after a red eye, this is going to be a long game.

Should at least be entertaining though, it's the Flames.

 

[Dednimnepo]

tonight is a hat trick night.

 

[We Want Ten]

Forsberg with a SO.

CBJ 4
CGY 0

Good times

There is still time to make a push!

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Tonight will be a shining example of what happens when a stoppable force meets a movable object.

 

[Jaxs]

If there isn't one page in the GDT by the end of the game, did they actually play?

Talk about a ground down fanbase. Me included.

Probably won't see much action on this board until the trade deadline. Jackets playing out the string...again.

 

[Doggy]

I know Korpi has been hot but I am surprised Forsberg didn't get a start here. Three games in four nights including a 38 shot OT and SO game the night before. Everyone needs a break some times.

 

[Dednimnepo]

Prout prouting

 

[jacketman10]

I am surprised as well. They played Bob in consecutive games after coming back from injury. And then he gets hurt again. But they also don't play until Tuesday. So that is probably why he is playing tonight.

 

[jacketman10]

Other than Boones breakaway, it was a very underwhelming period.

 

[Dednimnepo]

lots of work but very few scoring opportunities

 

[We Want Ten]

Is there a more overrated stat than hits? I like a team that hits, but I don't think it serves a meaningful purpose for the most part. Columbus seems to lead every game and I think is among the hits leaders in the NHL and it seems to do not much.

 

[Doggy]

I am more concerned that we are out-shot, out-faceoffed and out-scored every game. Only reason we won last night was Korpisalo. Can't put the much pressure on your goalie every game...regardless of who is in net.

I think blocked shots is a poor stat. Just means you let your opponent take more shots than you.

I am less concerned with who we get back and more interested in knowing which salaries we get to unload.

I think blocked shots is a better use of a body than hits myself, but I agree with the other stuff. The out shot and out faceoffed is nothing new I guess.

As Calvert gets steamrolled...
