GDT: PO Game 2: Columbus at Pittsburgh | 4/19 7PM EDT

[bizzz*]

Congratulations are also in order for Todd Richards on his first playoff win as a head coach.

Todd Richards on @BlueJacketsNHL first-ever playoff W: 'To me, it's a great win for our team. For a lot of people in Columbus, it's big.'

My error, I did not refresh... he had one assist but -1...

Who gives a damn about +/-? He made Crosby his b""h. The Pens couldn't score on Jackets for 3+ periods.

...Also that's embarrassing to read some posts at beginning of the thread.

Looking at the box score from the game my favorite stat is 1,1,1,1

I'm so exhausted I can't imagine how the boys feel. Enjoy Easter Sunday, have a good practice, stay hungry, and come out flying/ready to win on Monday

The boys deserve a day off with their family tomorrow... great win tonight...

Really rooting for you guys, congrats on the win!

I was driving to work when we scored, damn near killed a couple orange barrels near the 70/71 interchange.

It feels like we really became an NHL franchise tonight. That's not the right way to put it, but this just feels different than anything else in franchise history, whole different level.

I have tickets Monday, can't wait. I hope we (the fans and the team) send a message to everyone.

Hilarious.... get her done Monday, no kid stuff, make it war!!!

Anyone else hoping they put the winning goal puck in the display case at NWA?

Umberger received it to give it to Calvert (Good job RJ!) So I suspect it will end up there if Matt Calvert doesn't want it in his display case more.

Just gettin' in from The Great Canadian bar here in Paris. Only one other CBJ fan in the place, and the boys did us proud. Unbelievable effort from Calvert, and Dubinsky. Bobrovsky was so focused late in that game. All the D-Corps just working all night with a man dow, it was quite a gritty performane!

Nice stuff...

I thought Umberger looked pretty good tonight. Had a few signs of rust, but we'll need him going forward. He was a warrior for the Flyers in the playoffs (And us - 3 goals in 4 games IIRC), here's hoping that gets re-kindled.

Whole family out camping tonight, we sat around the campfire and watched this thriller on the RV outside TV. I guarantee the whole campground woke up from our war hoops when Matty scored! Way to go boys, we can beat these guys! Can't wait for Monday at Nationwide! It's going to be wild!

Nothing like roughing it!

The way the team played tonight, and most of the team played in Game 1, there's no damn reason we can't win the series. Bob doesn't HAVE to stand on his head. He just has to be as good as the other goalie.

Umby always plays hard, I just wish he wasent so weak on the puck. Soon as he gets down the boards with the puck it's on the other teams stick. Also I think Wiz has looked terrible fumbling the puck so far.

Only this is a happy night for Blue Jacket hockey and I will stop *****ing right there! What a comeback win folks!

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Hey guys! Came in to say I'm rooting for you all! Tonight's game was a thriller! Congrats on the first win!

 

[Jive Pawnbroker]

That was well worth the 13.5 year wait. Let's hope these playoff wins get old hat very very soon.

 

[The Butcher]

Good to see Jack M********** Johnson scoring some big goals!

 

[Cash for Nash]

Congrats to CBJ and congrats to all the diehards that have stuck by this team. Well deserved!

I can't believe the Jackets took 8 penalties and still won, just crazy.

Nationwide is going to be bonkers on Monday.

Gonna be awesome. There better be beer tents, concerts, strippers etc!!!

CHAOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MAtt Calvert NHL #1 Star of the Night!!!!! GO MATTY!!

Congrats Matt Calvert. NHL #1 Star of the Night!

JJ is really becoming JMFJ this series.

Jackets have yet to win a home playoff game. Just saying.

 

[Fro]

JJ is really becoming JMFJ this series.

i will defer on this one...he's played pretty well...his offensive game has stepped up huge, still needs to one time more and stop holding the puck, but hard to argue with it...

JJ is really becoming JMFJ this series.

Brass akword... JJ is doing his job... I'd say Calvert is MMFC.....
