MDSF Thread: Columbus vs. Pittsburgh (All general series talk here)

[NotWendell]

Hate my team, cheering for yours.

Plenty of room on the CBJ bandwagon. Everyone is welcome!

 

[BrianT12]

Does the CBJ call up a few players from Springfield for the playoffs?

Nah, we already have two extra D (Nikitin/Schultz, Prout) and many extra F's when Foligno and Umberger return. I think we're good

I feel like in my drunken state I am a super negative nancy...
Our team hasn't shown a second gear so I expect us to get beat 4-1... I hope the team makes me look like an idiot for predicting that.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Jackets will be without Nathan Horton, Nick Foligno and R.J. Umberger for at least the start of the playoffs. Horton is out for sure. Umberger seems highly unlikely for the start, too. Foligno is going to skate on Sunday for the first time since hurting his knee. Even if it feels good, he may need a week or so to get up to speed. That's 1,766 NHL games out of the lineup and three guys with playoff experience. As it stands, the most seasoned forward is Brandon Dubinsky, who played in his 498th NHL game tonight.

How about them playoff avatars?

 

[Jackets Fan]

Call me crazy if you want, but I'm saying Jackets win in 4!!!!

If this turns out to be true I'll look like a genius

Dead horse + water under the bridge = no one's going to post it, but I will.

I'd feel better if Gaborik was on this roster.

DSL, we weren't going to sign him next year, so why not pay a bunch of his remaining salary this year and get a second instead of enjoying his big game and playoff experience and the multiple points he'd put up this series?

obviously

Gaborik would be a HUGE addition to our roster in these playoffs. But at least we'll get to see him put up numbers for Jeff Carter's LA Kings!

Thanks, Jarmo

Being snarky is grounds for dismissal from The Believe Train

 

[Crede777]

So basically all the guys we got "for the playoffs" are hurt? C'mon and man up guys!

The only difference between a genius and a crazy person is the genius turned out to be right.

At least we got that out of the way early. I would make a lot of Gaborik posts if you hadn't done it.

This is so weird.

This is so weird.

I like your name change

Good luck guys, should be a great series

Ok, I'll join then. CBJ have been my second favourite team for some years now.
I'm glad the Jackets play Pittsburgh instead of Boston. We should be able to keep the games close and outwork them. If Bob wins the goalie matchup, it should be a good series.

 

[RBarRegular]

Game 1: Pens come out smokin'. Pitt 5 CBJ 1
Game 2: CBJ win stunner in OT. CBJ 2 Pitt 1
Game 3: Pens roll. Pitt 4 CBJ 0

Game 5: Pens exert their will. Pitt 5 CBJ 1
Game 6: Jackets counted out but rally to win. CBJ 3 Pitt 2
Game 7: ?

[Nanabijou]

I've said it a couple of times before, but my bar for this being a successful year was for the CBJ to make the playoffs and win a playoff game at NWA. The first part is complete and the second part is definitely do-able against the Pens.

Past that, I think they have a real shot at an upset here and I'm excited to see what happens.

 

[EspenK]

Game 8: Profit.

I think you mean games 10,11 &13? First two of next series will be away also. Or do the visitors get a cut?

Or did I miss the point entirely? Which is quite possible.

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

Calling it now.

Pretty bold prediction. I could definitely see it happen though.

 

[Xoggz22]

CBJ can't be in awe of the playoff vibe and give too much respect to the Pens. Pens are a very good team but don't make them better by defending against their potent offense for 60 min. Attack them and punch them in the mouth.

For me, the key is playing 5 vs 5 hockey. Of we are killing penalties we are losing badly. I think the cbj has the advantage in goal and at center(top to bottom overall, not necessarily best player). Let's hope for a packed house of CBJ fans.
