Here is to hoping it does not turn out like the last time we played them.

Heart: 3-2 Jackets
Head: 4-1 Islanders

Got a glass seat for this one! That said, I'm not expecting much.

NYI "Glass Seats" = 10 ft walkway b/t you and the ice

 

[niflheim]

LG Jackets! Give'em Hell!

Only on the ends

Question for the OP, why is there a picture of the Hempstead Town Hall? NVMC is in the next town over in Uniondale.

 

[MAHJ71]

lol, Lee Smith - please post pics!

Isn't Uniondale in Hempstead? Usually post a city pic, but as getting pics of Uniondale is a problem.

Regional flavor.

Isn't Uniondale in Hempstead? Getting pics of Uniondale is a problem, so I need to broaden the scope.

Uniondale is a hamlet and census-designated place, as well as a suburb of New York City in Nassau County, New York, United States, on Long Island, in the Town of Hempstead.

Kid to mom: Where do I live?

Mom: Well, its a long story.

I was at an Islanders/Hurricanes game a few years ago. Glass seats in the corner. plenty of leg room and I think they cost me 50 bucks on Stubhub.

 

[Chardo]

That's a picture of the building where zoning was denied for a complex including a new Islanders arena, which led to their upcoming move to Brooklyn. It's a current picture, so if you look in the window you'll see Supervisor Kate Murray in there denying some other type of progress. It's her 9-5 job.

View looks pretty darn good to me.

 

[Samkow]

Did not make that connection. Completely Unintentional trolling, so I found a better pic.

You can leave it. Trust me, it's nicer than any pic of Uniondale.

Hey guys, I can't wish your team a mutual good luck as I want the two points and don't like certain players on your team (kind of a compliment actually) but I enjoy you guys as posters so I hope you get some enjoyment out of the game that doesn't involve winning

Hoping both teams walk out injury free.

Is Bob starting?

EDIT: read the lines. What happened?

Bob went down a while back with a lower body injury (I think groin? don't remember exactly)

Groin. Out another 2 weeks or so.

Have 29 games to make up 12 points, while the Bruins only have 27 games left

Yes, that cannon sure looks great

I'll take the optimistic POV again. The last time I did that, the Jackets came away with a win.

3-1 good guys ... a desperately needed win for my fantasy roster as well.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

So..assuming they win the 2 games in hand, that's 8 points in 27 games. If the Bruins go 13-13-1, the Jackets would need to go 17-9-1. 17 of the Jackets last 29 are against current playoff teams.

in the last 27 the Jackets are 15-11-1, so they will need to step it up a little bit. But it looks at least plausible.

The thing that gets overlooked is the fact that it's not just the Blue Jackets against the Bruins. What if Florida gets hot, or even Philadelphia?

I'm not saying it's out of the realm of possibility, but there are so many tangibles that make it very difficult. Three point games are the biggest nightmare - with Boston still having games to play against both of those teams, a couple of three point games could essentially end our year.

I'm rooting for the Jackets all the way, but we have to be realistic. They have to win 20 of their remaining games, realistically, to even have a shot.

what we're contending with

6 NY RANGERS M..... 53.....32.....16.....5.....69
7 WASHINGTON M..... 55.....29.....16.....10.....68
8 BOSTON A..... 55.....28.....20.....7..... 63
9 FLORIDA A..... 54.....24.....19.....11.....59
10 PHILADELPHIA M..... 55.....23.....22.....10.....56
11 OTTAWA A..... 53.....21.....22.....10.....52
12 COLUMBUS M..... 53.....24.....26.....3..... 51
13 NEW JERSEY M..... 55.....21.....25.....9..... 51
14 TORONTO A..... 56.....23.....29.....4..... 50

so Division - Games Played - Wins - Losses - OTL - Points

a LOT of teams to jump over
