Suit up Frattin. Show that we won the Gaborik trade! :sarcasm:

I don't know , now that we made the playoffs , I'm thinking in the big picture that it was the right
Move , didn't we get a second and a 3rd for gaborik , who was going to walk after the season is over . Now we have flexibility to trade in the offseason for a big piece, or possibly a package deal to move up this draft . I'm amazed with the amount of injuries we have had this season, we made the playoffs , and we have money to spend, erixon who's ready for a role, and a lot if young talent in the pipeline

Should have started Bobs tonight. TBL is the harder team we face in the back to back. Not only that, but Bobs would have more consecutive days of rest before the playoffs. Now that we started McBackup, we have our work cut out for us. Losing this game severely reduces our chances of getting 3rd in the metro and gives us pretty much a 50/50 chance (kinda) at 1st wild card.

I hope Bob starts the 3rd ( although unlikely ). All 3 goals C-Mac gave up were leaky as all hell, and I know if Bob was in it would be 1-0 CBJ going into the 3rd.
The 2nd TBL goal was especially frustrating because we had just tied with an absolutely perfect PP. It's got to be such a disappointment when you work hard to tie a game, only to see your goalie allow a lousy shot to get by him a few shifts later.

I really don't want to read "Kristens Gudlevskis gets first NHL win in debut vs Blue Jackets". It would be so embarrassing to lose to a goalie that's only playing his first game. I really don't want that to happen. It would be pathetic.

Sorry for the rant, I just needed to let that out. I'm so pissed right now...

Luckily Detroit is losing 2-0 so as of now we still have the 1st wild card.

If I live to a million, I will never understand the decision to sit Bob tonight unless he is hurt.

I'd rather see Forsberg in net than THAT. It couldn't be any worse, but I would have felt better.

Well Curtis has certainly earned the "McBackup" label tonite. What a dumb move by Richards. We fight so hard for position and then Richards puts in a backup goalie against the second place team in the Atlantic division. Very shrewd.

Tampa announcers going insane on the refs, I don't get it.


"These guys are an absolute joke" after the last double-minor.

Seemed like a reasonable call to me?

I could understand that the 4 min for roughing is weird, but it's either that or 5 each for fighting and 2 for instigating. They didn't really get to fight though...

There was a similar call in the Phoenix- Jackets game. We got the PP there too if I remember right.

The biggest difference in this franchise is, in the past, a guy like McElhinny would have been our STARTING goalie.
