I like Roush Honda customers.....

That said, I'll be at the final game in Buffalo.... I hope the Jackets beat the crap out of Eichel....

And for any Sabre fans here, I'm all in for the CBJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why would we want to beat the Sabres? Literally doesn't help out long term future at all buffalo is ahead of us only a little in the standings

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

And we wont have the mirage of a late season surge to make us think our roster is better than it is.

What can they really do in the off-season to fix things though?

Quit.

I honestly don't know. Next year with this team we are not even close to playoffs

Not much more than shed some veterans and bring up some kids.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Quit.

 

[We Want Ten]

No one got hurt, the kid's got game time, we lost, and Joey didn't torch us.
That's about as good as it gets at this point.
On to the next one.

There is a small rivalry with the Sabres.... Older fans know the issues in Nationwide...

I was also opposed to Sabre tanking last season for the so called "generational" draft pick... I'm not sure Eichel is that guy but he's doing quite well for an average top 2 pick with 23 goals and 50 points so far.... Is he Perreault or Gretzky??? I doubt it but we will see, I hope we shut him down on April 8th!!!!!!!!

 

[NotWendell]

Not much more than shed some veterans and bring up some kids.

Specifically, these veterans should be gone: Bourque, MacEilhinney, Tyutin, Boll, Hartnell and maybe Campbell. We MIGHT get one decent NHL player from that lot. Dubinsky should be captain next season.

"Come and watch us grow"??? Let's see some players that are growing instead of regressing.

Trust me I remember the Sabres games and the horns/ "Let's Go Buff-a-lo" chants

I blogged for Foligno to be Captain.... He's not been the player of past but one season is short.... Give him a season with a well designed team under Torts.... I hope Torts runs the team to be honest.... get rid of the current GM, the guy is NHL clueless imo...

Not a popular opinion but look for options to trade Foligno could work too. Maybe to a team like NJD. If we get let's say 8-11 pick would you package it with Clarkson for like a 2nd?

Trust me - I came THIS CLOSE to typing that. I'm going to hope this was just a bad season for him.

 

[Robert]

Tough night but it was Nashville, the Preds have dominated the CBJ for 15 years....

Hey CBJ team, lets change that!!!!!

Night all....

 

[CBJfan4evr]

jesus korpisalo has zero lateral push

I guess I don't see that

 

[NotWendell]

I guess I don't see that

I think that was sarcasm. At least, I HOPE it was.

 

[BluejacketNut]

The Jackets arent a good team that got off to a bad start. The Ducks were a good team that got off to a rough start and are going to the playoffs, we're just a bad team, and a cap team to boot. What a ****** front office

 

[MAHJ71]

Yup. I wish him no ill will personally. Just glad for the trade and that we have Jones.

Ditto on this. As much as I wanted him to be traded and was sick of his floating I'm not rooting against him now. All I'm worried/caring about is how Jones performs. And so far I've been impressed.

I'll never rally behind this. So many others should be cut/traded before we're even thinking about moving him.

I was when he first got here, but I think his play has fallen off a cliff in the past month or so.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Dubinsky was asked if he felt badly for Jones: "Absolutely. We owed it to him to have a good game. Anytime you come back to your old team -- obviously, I've been there -- you want to play well, and your teammates owe it to you to play well. God, nobody played well tonight, except for Korpi and maybe Boone in spurts. Not even close."

Love this quote

Point percentage by season:
2012-13 - .573
2013-14 - .567
2014-15 - .543
2015-16 - .459

It's going to take years to clean up the mess that they've created. I don't think this team has a snowball's chance in hell of making the playoffs next season.

 

[Doggy]

I have to say...I am more pessimistic abut next year's team than I have ever been about this team. I was so excited when JD came here but I really think they have crapped the bed. This team is in a bad way. Unless Jarmo can find a way to move three or four big contracts on older guys we are screwed.
