Call me crazy but I'm going with the Jackets tonight, CBJ 4-2...

 

[GoJackets1]

I feel like if we win this game, it'll shock the Pens to the point where they won't know how to handle it, and we'll win the series. If we lose, it's a toss up, but we need to take one of the first two.

Tonight can't come soon enough! Go Jackets!

 

[BluejacketNut]

Their offense can be a murderers row, but im not overly concerned about their defense and if we can get a couple softies on Fluery hopefully he'll return to the past few playoffs years. This is going to be a long slow day to get to 7:30!

I'm not as giddy as I will be monday for the home game, actually.... but I am pretty yipped.

I absolutely will be rooting for a win. But I'm prepared for (or expect) a loss. We will come out tentative, wishing not to make a mistake. We'll lose 1-3 with an empty net.

Make me wrong Jackets!!!! Come out flying! Buzz the net! Hit anything on the ice wearing the bird. Get it deep, forecheck the ***** outta them and get it done!

WOOT!

 

[Fro]

WEOW!!!!!

can't wait...

 

[Nordique]

critical

 

[CAMSANITY]

It is finally here. Playoff hockey has returned and we get to take it to the Penguins. I think the CBJ come out flying and we take it to Fleury, 2-1 JACKETS!

 

[Fro]

finally home from the Florida trip...didn't get two wins...but wow a hell of a fun trip...now the real fun begins...

 

[IHeartZherdev*]

old man alert - what is "weow?" i keep seeing it used with the CBJ hash tag and have no idea what it means

 

[Fro]

came from Joey's (as well as my) friend...just a happy exclamation...

 

[FreeBoomer61]

Are there any watch parties going on around the city like they have had recently at local bdubs? Go Jackets!

 

[Fro]

the main one is at the Racino...the jacket backers are doing one at Studio35

 

[cbjfaninmo]

Going to need Vezina Bob to show up and our boys need to stay out of the box. We can do it! Been waiting for days like today since 2000 and 2009. Gotta love our Jackets in the playoffs! Go Jackets!!!

 

[Fro]

hilarious....sent to me on FB this morning

 

[EspenK]

CBJ! CBJ! CBJ! Play hard, Play well.

 

[sventington]

Good luck tonight! At the very least you should be able to put a few past Fleury.

 

[Viqsi]

Having this on Wednesday is awkward for me, as it means I have to multitask. Nonetheless, I will have the chat room open for Game 1.
And yes, the bot does have support for the playoffs! (Now I just have to remember how to set that up... )

 

[anteater90]

GO JACKETS!!!

I BELIEVE!!

SECOND SEASON STARTS TONIGHT!

The Cup Changes Everything!

Target Penguins!

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

My fan story has been told before, so I won't bore anyone with it again, but I just wanted to share that I've taken all my Pens stuff down from the walls in my house (basement/man cave) and out of my closet. It will remain hidden until the conclusion of this series.

It should be burned right before gametime. A sacrifice to the hockey gods! Do it!

The hockey gods demand a sacrifice!

Good luck with this series Jackets fans. Your fan base certainly deserves it. Whether anyone else wants to admit it or not, you will be dangerous and are built for overachieving in the playoffs (good team speed, hard on the forecheck and great between the pipes). I hope you kick the tar out of the Penguins.

 

[Jive Pawnbroker]

I'm worried that the Jackets will come out of the gate slowly like they did in the NJ game coming off of the Olympic break, which as we all know didn't end well that night. Here's hoping I'm wrong.
