That was fast as hell Samkow

Go Jackets

 

[GernBlanston]

Congratulations, boys and girls!! I'll be rooting for y'all as my Eastern Conference team. Please, please, PLEASE kick the **** out of the Pens!!

 

[nhldiedinthe90s*]

Thanks to this series, by late May Dan Bylsma will be the head coach of the Vancouver Canucks.

Calling it now.

 

[1857 Howitzer]

Jackets in 6.

 

[EspenK]

Just read that Rangers-Philly play Thursday. Us on Wed?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

CBJ in 7 in a tough series.

 

[MFRONE]

Based on arena availability, the first game will probably be on Wednesday

 

[Socks]

Wow I just realized my employee is a Pens fan. Do I dare abuse my authority as her boss?

 

[Samkow]

Winter is coming. Hope Bob is ready.

 

[Cash for Nash]

Based on arena availability, the first game will probably be on Wednesday

It'd be absolutely awesome if we had an Easter Sunday afternoon game. We typically don't play those day games but maybe the media darlings (Crosby etc) will hook us up.

Just make sure she can't go.

Well, at least he should be rested.

I would think Wednesday/Saturday

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I'm worried some people who got tickets will sell them for top dollar to Pens fans. But that's out of the club's control, it's not like the tickets weren't flying off the shelf after we made it.

 

[Sam Spade]

As a neutral fan rooting for the Jackets I think the best hope is Bob goes beast mode. I believe the Pens will have their full lineup.

Good luck from all non-Pen fans everywhere.

 

[Socks]

Just make sure she can't go.

Oh she will work. She will work a lot. After all, she asks me for as many hours as possible

Anyone wanna make a somewhat useful first post for this thread? I'll give you OP and you'll have the honor of making our thread look less embarrassing compared to theirs.

 

[major major]

We should be studying whatever the Flyers do that works magic against the Pens. As far as I can tell the key is to agitate Crosby, Neal, etc.. and push them to self-destruct. Do everything you can to raise the pain level and still come away with fewer penalties than the Penguins.

 

[Sore Loser]

I'll fire the first shot....

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Everyone is counting us out, especially on the PIT board. Flying under the radar. We can do it

 

[ClevelandJacketFan]

Pretty sure this entire series hinges on MAF.

If MAF plays elite, we have no chance.

If MAF plays...well, like it's the playoffs, we have a chance.

Gonna be tough, but if we want to win the cup, you have to beat teams like Pittsburgh. If nothing else, it'll show us what we would truly need to be elite if we do lose. Very excited.

 

[DJA]

I think this is pretty simple. Bob needs to play like Bob or we're toast.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Anyone wanna make a somewhat useful first post for this thread? I'll give you OP and you'll have the honor of making our thread look less embarrassing compared to theirs.

The hell with their thread and their forum and their entitled fans who apparently have nothing better to do with their lives than spend hours on foofy GDTs and frilly series preview threads. The hell with their team and the stupid media love affair with their high-profile players.

I don't know about other folks, but I don't need any of that crap to get me excited about the playoffs. Screw 'em.

This is Jackets time. Their time -- is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearin' about what a great hockey team the Pens have. Screw 'em! This is your time!! Now go out there and take it!

Well on the positive side sell outs won't be tough, on the other hand unless there is sufficient lead time the building may be more black than blue...
