I expect Atkinson will be a man on a mission tonight and I expect the building to be rowdy.

I don't expect to beat the Sharks, but we played a solid game in San Jose a month ago and the Sharks' three goals were preventable. If the right Bob shows up and the boys play the way they're capable of it'll be a good game.

 

[blahblah]

Type of game in which we've been getting the beat down on. Let's see if we can reverse that trend.

Another big night for the Jackets and teams we are competing with.

 

[cbjfaninmo]

Glad to see Cam back in the lineup. Another huge game (as they all are now). Would like to see the boys jump on them early.

Go Jackets!!!

 

[FreeBoomer61]

Cam scores two, CBJ win 3-1. Book it.

 

[Wendy Clear]

AA playing? Wife expecting any time here apparently.

I heard this as well....she was due basically anytime...I'd love to have him in there against these horses tonight!!

 

[BluejacketNut]

IIRC we've usually played them well here, so another bench mark game on where we stand up against top teams. They're scoring a bunch, so Bob needs to be on his game. But looking at the standings, thank god we're not in the central anymore!

 

[Jyrki]

This is the sort of game where if the boys blink, they'll find themselves down by 2 or 3. Huge test.

Someone call the wife and tell her to wait on the kid thing until after the game. We have playoff hockey at hand.

 

[Inglewood JACKets]

The Blue Jackets can cause the mix it up grit to make the Sharks taste good.

Bleacher report says Arty not playing cause of baby coming at any time. Can't link on my phone

Mixer and Kamal Twitters suggest same. Porty's too.

Letestu moves up and Frattin to L4 centered by MacK?

he better get his ass to the rink! a good wife would hold that in until after the game tonight!

 

[Nordique]

No Arty party tonight

4th line carries the good guys to a tight victory. 3 point night for MacKenzie.

Well...not on the ice anyway...

That's the problem with these Euro wives. They just aren't willing to play a gritty, physical game when it comes to having babies.

Tough either way, Stalock has been just as good as Niemi in many of the games I've seen, if not better.

Exactly, you would think if she's Russian, she would know the drill. Jeez

Proof that Arty's wife just doesn't fit the CBJ identity. Jarmo will trade her to LA for a 4th liner and 2 2nd rounders

 

[blahblah]

Geez, can't any of these hockey players and wives look at the calendar and plan on the baby for after the season? Geez. Or, at least, not between March and the end of May?

Do I really need a ?

Seriously good for their family. I hope all goes well!

As far as the backup goes, never really been impressed with Niemi. Haven't really watched this backup much; but I'd rather have Niemi.

 

[cbjfaninmo]

Since she can't wait, it tells me she is soft. She is probably a Swede.

All jokes of course, in light of what happened with Foligno, I hope all goes well and he's back Saturday night.

 

[skimp]

Everyone complains about man-games lost due to injury, but no one says a word about man-games lost due to childbirth. The CBJ should start including celibacy clauses in player contracts. We need Anisimov focused on the stretch drive; he can have his fun after he retires.
