Looks as though Matt Calvert will play on a line with Brandon Dubinsky and David Clarkson tonight. #CBJ

Based on the morning skate, looks as though Cam Atkinson will be a healthy scratch tonight vs. the #Isles. #CBJ

guessing Rychel is headed to Cleveland today...since we're at 24 players once Wennberg is activated...unless we move someone on waivers...

We win tonight, because we won't get lulled to sleep and try to out-talent the other team. NYI play heavy and hit and scrum and fight, that's CBJ hockey, we will answer the bell tonight, Boll will go in and get the boys going with an early scrap. It's going to be a good one tonight, nothing wakes up a lazy team like a physical team that's head hunting. We will rally.

I think CMac should start again, wait to start Bob on the road with less pressure, also CMac deserves it.

I think they should bring up Yevenko and scratch Prout, he seems to be less clunky on his feet, will still hit and fight and has better puck skills.

Per Smitch, they are scratching Rychel, Boll and Atkinson...Richards has truly lost me, scratch two physical heavy players against one of the most physical teams. Their 4th line is going to run amuck through NWA tonight and we'll have no answer...

I said this last game...there is no reason for the Jackets to win tonight which means that they probably will. I have to eventually be right. Right??

This is about where I am. Without in-depth knowledge of the dynamics of the locker room there's just no way to tell how/when things can be turned around.

The Islanders are one of the few teams that I actually want Boll on the ice against.

Add in the Scratchkinson and I'm befuddled...

What an absolutely horrible way to set up the forward lines. Wow.

We're going to play Karlsson, Bourque, and Clarkson and not Cam Atkinson? #$3.5millionhealthyscratch

Fire Richards already.

Also, I don't understand why it's somehow better to play Karlsson at the incorrect position than it is to have Kerby or Cam in the lineup. It's just not a good way to construct the forwards.

And good god do I miss Letestu.

Will miss most of the game but fully expect to come home to another 5-3 game with the Jackets losing and looking terrible.

I come in peace. I just wanted to say it's funny how some of you are saying we're a heavy team when half of our board is always complaining about how small and soft we are :laugh:
Good luck tonight.

Kerby is probably headed to Cleveland, but I was wondering about Karlsson out of position as well.

This doesn't seem like the "message sending" lineup one would think of. Scratching Cam doesn't seem to send any message other than ":help:" ?

That was a :huh: for me too. I don't picture you guys to be a "weighty" (man, there's a throw back) team that runs roughshod over people either. Good luck tonight (you probably won't need it) !

I think there's merit to having Rychel in the lineup, but really what does Boll add other than the possibility of a fight? Does the air check count as being physical? I'm tired of hearing about Jared Boll, he is not going to magically become a productive player for this club. If there is one contract that people should hold against GMJK, it's Boll's.

As for Atkinson, I believe he made one of the worst line changes I've seen in Chicago that directly led to Marian Hossa's goal that put any come back possibilities to rest (like it would happen anyway).

You know that things are bad when tickets to a home game less than two weeks into the season are going for less than $10 on Stubhub. Pathetic.

More than anything, this lineup just screams Richards throwing in the towel. There's just no reasonable thought process that could lead to these lines IMO. This is getting sad...
