Werenski out 1-2 weeks with an undisclosed injury. He tweaked his knee pretty bad in the last Dallas game. Jackets have pulled up Scott Harrington, so congrats to the Canes on their impending win today.


Also, Torts feels that Domi is putting too much pressure on himself, so he's putting him on wing to lighten his responsibility and find his groove. Jackets top six today:

Laine - Roslovic - Atkinson
Domi - Texier - Bjorkstrand

I expect it to last maybe all the way into the tenth minute of the first period before Torts starts mixing it up.

Laine bomb!

Laine bomb!

Followed by a Korpi-bomb.

Nick Foligno with #200 on his career (provided it didn't bounce off Riley Nash).

Edit: They gave it to Nash.

Got it that time. Congrats again, Cap'n.

So Gudas hits Glendening square in the head and no call. Smith grazes Weegar on a follow thru of a good check and 2 minutes hit to the head.

NHL refs folks.

Refs fuck up two things, and fail to adequately fix either. Unreal.

Sit room in Toronto reviewed the wrong zone entry.

Yeah and then fail to clearly communicate so before they were done reviewing it, the refs called the goal good and started the power play.

Ridiculous.

I saw someone suggest a reasonable fix. Award the Jackets one point for what likely would have or could have been a regulation tie and give the Canes 2 for winning the game.

What SHOULD have happened is the third period should have opened 3-3 with 21:15 on the clock.




I would also accept an extra first round draft pick if the Jackets miss the playoffs by one point. Or give us the Penguin's weighted lottery ball.

Ok just saw what happened here and I’m surprised Torts didn’t murder somebody. Good grief what a shitshow.

Easiest and best solution is to get rid of offside challenges. And get better linesmen.

Dats crazy talk, man!

AUTOMATE EVERYTHING! Have two guys on the ice to transmit the calls from the booth and separate guys if needed. 99.999999% of shit penalty calls and fuckups gone in an instant.

I cannot believe we have the video tech and camera saturation in arenas we do today and we still rely on a fifty year old asshole’s perception of things happening 20 ft away. Almost as dumb as umpiring in baseball.

He's still on double secret probation after last season. Actually impressed he's managed to not go Vesuvius.

Laine called it the biggest joke he's ever seen, so I guess he's got a fine incoming.
