[Fro]

a regulation loss puts us in 26th...

a regulation loss plus a Toronto point vs Buffalo tomorrow puts us in 27th

so we win 5-1 tonight

 

[Cowumbus]

4-2 CBJ

Goals by Dano, Foligno, Savard, Bourque.

no tanking for us

[niflheim]

no tanking for us

No. Never. only invisible little tank

I love seeing that Hartnell-Wennberg-Dano line again. Wennberg and Dano could be a top line pair in a couple of years, and getting to work together each night with an aggressive vet like Hartnell bodes well for the future.

Im calling a 4-3 shootout win for the Jackets. Joey with 2 g 1 a

Hoping for a well-played loss

Regulation loss, I think. 3-1. Goal by Dano.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Regulation loss, I think. 3-1. Goal by Dano.

I forget. Someone tell me if this is now the optimistic or pessimistic view.

It's Schrodinger's post.

[We Want Ten]

I have no idea which team or players will show up. With Bob, I want to say a win, but Bob has been ordinary and the team in front has been a underground coal mine fire all season for the most part, so...
Canes 7
CBJ 3

 

[Skraut]

6-4 loss

Hainsey with the double hatty

 

[Fro]

ahhh the classics....i'm guessing there's a large handful of posters that do not get Skraut's joke...

 

[ndd17]

I forget. Someone tell me if this is now the optimistic or pessimistic view.

Now, it's very optimistic view. When Bob missed 3 or less goals per game? Against Wilds, if I'm not wrong.

 

[NotWendell]

This is a MUST LOSE game. So we'll win it 5-1.

 

[niflheim]

Don't worry about Bob he is NHL' top 5 goalkeeper, but only next season... Don't trust in mighty Bob now, when our direction is deep tanking. Bob is last line here and he is guarantee of our " successful tanking". I think You remember how many times we have read ( in the beginning of this season) that Bob will be resigned only (!) afterseason (!), but then when our FO realized that this season is practically " ended" ( yes, our FO are professionals and they don't believe in miracle) Bob was suddenly resigned! I think here agreement ( unofficial, of course) was made between our FO and Bob that sometimes he can " help" in our " hard fight for future"
I agree it will be well played loss

 

[cbjfaninmo]

I forget. Someone tell me if this is now the optimistic or pessimistic view.

It's a critical view.

 

[Doggy]

Richie says Hartsy will play tonight

 

[ndd17]

I have more gloomy views about Bob in the next season. He will not be top 5 in the league. Never. And he will not do more than two SO for us per season.
It's my opinion about Bob.

 

[WannabeFinn]

I dunno about this one, Carolina has been playing decent hockey in 2015. They might just legitimately beat us even if we have a good showing.

 

[Jackets Fan]

Whatever happens in this game, I'll still watch it. I'd be happy with a win, content with a loss I suppose given our positioning, but I just can't seem to force myself to actively root for the Jackets to lose. I just can't. If I were, I'd much rather be doing something productive from 7-9:30pm EST time, check the score after the game, and be like "yay!" if it says they lost.

Man this board feels weird compared to last year, it's starting to feel like the Coyotes or Sabres board, and I kinda feel left out tbh. I just can't for the life of me bring myself to be saddened by a win.

Anyone in the same boat as I am regarding this tanking situation?

 

[garnetpalmetto]
