Head: Time to start losing again

Heart: The young guys are fun to watch, who needs Auston Matthews?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I'll be there tonight for the first time since the semester started. We usually never beat the islanders (except for last years final game I think), but I'll have fun regardless

4-1

 

[We Want Ten]

We shouldn't be winning, but are, and we shouldn't beat the Islanders, but we will.

Mid round draft pick here we come.

who needs Auston Matthews?

We do

 

[CBJFan827]

Fourth line Foligno?! I know I've not been paying much attention to the team the last few weeks, but that caught me off guard. Is this a new development?

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

Think the Islanders win tonight - Jackets have played poorly against them the last season or two it seems.

Most interesting part of Jackets games right now is hearing about the scouts from other teams upstairs.

I'm not really looking forward to going to the game tonight, but know that come this summer, I'll be wishing there was hockey to see live, so I better enjoy it now (even if it's meaningless).

 

[WannabeFinn]

I'm going to the game tonight. Lower bowl, shoot twice end. Thanks Nationwide!

Torts will mix it up by the 3rd shift. Someone has to play down there, and Fligs hasn't been very good. Guess he likes the Calvert-Rychel combo flanking Karlsson.

I'm also surprised Foligno in the fourth line, he should be in the press box.

Think he started there last game too. But as someone mentioned he moved up replaced by Saad. 3-1-1 hard to argue with that.

 

[DarkandStormy]

Foligno has a single assist (on 1/26) since returning from injury.

No goals on 12 shots. Not really having much of an impact.

Line combos for sure is what has Nick on the fourth. No he hasn't been good but the top 6 combos are set and as RS45 says Torts is seeing what works alongside Wild Bill.

Foligno with a hatty

Heyyyyyy our captain sucks again!

Production is a give-and-take with linemates.

We should be glad that some lines are coalescing, given our hatred for the slot machine approach.

That leaves Nick playing with other players who aren't exactly filling up the scoresheet.

I'm also surprised Foligno in the fourth line, he should be in the press box.

Jeez, the guy just went point per game for a long stretch, and now he's considered useless after a few bad games coming back from injury.

Actually people were saying this crap about him while he was scoring every game. There's something about Foligno in particular that brings this out of some folks. Has the crappy record of the team been placed on him regardless of what he does on the ice? There is a disconnect here I would love to understand.

So...nationwide night? Wondered why lower bowl was near capacity. No self guided seat upgrade tonight I guess.

Yup, it's a nationwide night. Gotta love it when your family all works for them

I have always been a big fan of the self guided seat upgrade. My wife not so much.

 

[Cowumbus]

Making the drive in up from Athens. That being said I assume we lose by at least 4.

 

[JKinCLE]

How strict are the ushers regarding the self guided seat upgrade? Theres been many times I wanted to move down from 214 when the lower bowl is half empty, but fear the humiliating walk of shame should they choose to check my ticket.

Go down for the pregame and stay down there. Pick a sparsely populated section like 101.
