Win this game, and we can still catch them for 3rd. It's a matter of the boys wanting it or not.

Not to mention revenge for what happened here last time.

 

[Fro]

never won in Philly...time to rectify that...

So if the CBJ don't win, it's because they didn't want it enough?

Oh, and, I hate the Flyers. That is all.

 

[Kentucky]

Big game. Would like to see the boys make a statement in this 1st of 3 games in 4 days.

Schultz-Savard

This paring should be good for 2 goals against. please prove me wrong!

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

Unless Bob plays lights out, I can't see the Jackets winning this game. Hopefully they have enough in the tank to beat Chicago tomorrow.

That's how I justify losses to myself these days

But honestly, I think we match up well with the flyers, well enough for "wanting it more" to possibly have an impact.

 

[Matthew]

I hate the Flyers and could see them becoming our "rivals" faster than Pittsburgh ever could be.

 

[JacketsDavid]

Huge game.
A point helps to secure a spot, but reality is if we get a Wild Card it will be a short visit into playoff land. We need to somehow catch Philly and avoid Boston or Pittsburgh early.
Beggars can't be choosers - so I'll likley be thrilled with getting a point and getting us closer, but a regulation win would be huge.

 

[ca5150]

time for some "high glove" payback on Mason for being on the receiving end of his weak glove side for years!

SCS says the difference between a regulation loss and a win (any way) is the difference between 70% playoff odds and 90%.

Big game, fair to say.

"O Ye of Little Faith, why are you so fearful?"

13 years of hockey, 1 point in Philadelphia. I'd say we are due.

The weather outside today is crap, let's hope the Jackets do their best not to replicate it on the ice.

Congrats to Nick Foligno on the Masterton Nomination, extremely deserving candidate.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Good grief yes.

Critical, even.

 

[Nordique]

Win this game in regulation and we have a real shot at 3rd place in the Metro.

Lose this game in regulation and we are in danger of losing our wild card spot.

No pressure.

 

[blahblah]

Oh, and, I hate the Flyers. That is all.

What's there to like?

No predication or thoughts. We (Fans and the team) know where we at and what we need to do.

Mase's glove was getting props from Pierre McGuire during the Boston-Philly game recently.

 

[Jyrki]

I hope the boys aren't thinking about Chicago, Leave it all on the rink today and get these 2 points

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

I hope the boys aren't thinking about Chicago, Leave it all on the rink today and get these 2 points

Why would they be?

 

[Kev22]

Interesting fact that Anthony Rothman just mentioned on The Fan. Today is the one year anniversary of Steve Mason being traded to the Flyers. What better celebration it would be than to hang 5 or 6 on Mase. Knowing our recent luck, he'll probably shut us out.

I don't have a good feeling about tonight. Why? I don't know. We haven't played very well when we've really needed to win a game, save Detroit last week. We need this one and I'm not sure how it's going to go. I guess that's why the chase for the playoffs is such a roller coaster.

 

[Robert]

I think the Jackets will win this one, it won’t be easy and by all rights the Flyers are playing better of late but we need the game more than they do…

Congratulations to Folingo for the Masterton Trophy today, nice article in PR about it..

 

[ca5150]

I hope the boys aren't thinking about Chicago, Leave it all on the rink today and get these 2 points

"Boys, I know you have been thinking about the Chicago game all week, they are in the other conference and all, but I know you have been focused on them. Let's not forget about this team tonight, Philadelphia, I think they might be in our division...or something"


------whiskey for breakfast guy

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Our odds go to the 90's with a win tonight, and a 70's with a loss (Regulation for both)

So... yeah.. big game

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Oh yeah. The lines tonight (except Schultz in for Nikitin but I understand why because of Niks horrid stretch) are finally the best the club could put out with what we have. Finally.

 

[Fro]

Nikitin is actually hurt....
