Is it just me or is Dan Kamal just a little creepy?

I might get roasted for this but this team is way better when Letestu consistently gets 15-16 minutes of ice time. Coach Richards has to use his that way, not the 10-12 or 18-20.

It might be the only distinctive yet not embarrassing chant I've ever heard in that building.

It is but we have to have something more than the generic 'lets go jackets'. Whoever named the team didn't give us much to work with.. first time I've heard the whole arena doing C-B-J.

Our D in general looked bad, had lots of trouble keeping with the intense forecheck. I dare say that the only one who had a better game than usual was, *gasp*, Savard.

Savard's pinch led to the first goal. I think he's becoming a damn good defenceman. Still looks awkward, but usually very effective.

I posted something similar early in the game.

Agree completely. Love when players prove people wrong. People on here wrote off Calvert after his terrible 2011-12 season, comes in and makes the team the next year and is vital to the team. People wrote of Savard this year after his play last year. Now look. Love it

I like him.... I think he was play by play for the Preds at one time... the guy is good.

Missed the first 2 periods so can't comment but he did finish with a + 3 rating.

I am on the CBJ bandwagon, nice job of hammering another nail into the Leafs playoff coffin.

Welcome.



Must say...I don't mind giving a point to Phoenix as long as we got the extra in ROW. As another franchise dealing with mediocre hockey for years and years, it'd be nicer to see them get in. However, we need to really get some confidence back and lock down the last minute.

Thrashers. And he gives me the willies

 

[CBJWerenski8]

No doubt here either. You could tell the players were pumped from it.

NHL Blue Jackets ‏@BlueJacketsNHL 5m

.@RyanJohansen19: "I was sitting on the bench, admiring the atmosphere. It was really special." #CBJ

That interview he just did you could tell he meant it.

Cool, I'm not the only one then.
I'll read the whole thread later.

I agree. I like the C-B-J a lot more. It's sharper and more aggressive. "Let's go Jack-ets" always sounded kinda weak to me.

It was....

Yep.... Atlanta.... I like him.

I like the "C-B-J" chant as well.

But it should only be for important/big games(like tonight) and/or playoffs.

 

[cbj21]

So 1 more win and were in?

 

[Jive Pawnbroker]

Correct

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I think we're in...............................

You're off the hook

 

[Robert]

The odds of the Jackets losing three in a row and the Devils winning three are as close to zero as one can get... That said, we need one more...

 

[JACKETfan]

Exciting finish.
Heavy legs at times in the first two periods.
Good thing we're up 1 tomorrow.

I will be cheering in Tampa on Friday.

 

[Jorge]

Correct.

Weak... even more than weak. That chant and the after goal song feel like they take away excitement. I know some disagree, but I strongly feel both should go. No song after a goal, just loud horn, cannon, cheers & chants.

The CBJ chant is nice to hear

So 1 more win and were in?

Or an NJ loss.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Players are raving about the crowd.
