LOL. What was Nash thinking there?

HAHAHAHA. No longer Mr. Popular in C-Bus.

Bobrovsky has been a douche all game

True enough but it's just something that isn't really done.

Especially by a laid back guy like Nash.

True, I haven't seen that from him before.

I think that was the first time I've seen any emotion from him since he came here. It was great.

Dropping with a guy 5 inches taller and 45 pounds heavier who just so happens to be the focus of all the emotion on both benches who then schools you? I disagree on "good".

Missing his assignment on Brassard's goal? Even worse. Hope he gets a day in the press box to think about it.

RJ Umberger, paging RJ Umberger. Will the Umbergler please pick up the white courtesy phone.

Anyway, still a game in hand. I would have preferred at least one point here, but the last three games have shown me something. The Jackets can hang with "playoff style" hockey. The Canes goalie flew in from another planet or that would have been a blowout, then they fought Montreal IN Montreal and came out on top and on the second half of a back 2 back against a desperate team that's had a week off (almost) rallying around a few guys who wanted this win more than any this year and they came two bounces away from another win. When shit got dirty, they didn't fold and went right back at it. Proud of ya boys.


Congrats Rangers fans. Let's do this again in April, K?

If there isn't a rivalry yet between these teams, a playoff series will definitely do it.

Oh, it's there. But yeah I am hoping there is a playoff battle this year. I would love to see seven games worth of the intensity I saw tonight.

Mostly because the Rangers couldn't survive seven games of it

Maybe, maybe not. But it would definitely be a great series to watch.

 

[KennyBanyeah]

That was a fun game to watch. I like the way the Jackets play, with the exception of Nathan Horton who seems to always irritate with the way he plays. They give a great team effort. They probably need a true gamebreaker to be real contenders. Maybe Johansen will be that guy but I think he'll always play the role of a good player night in and night out rather than a one-play threat.

Still love Foligno. If that guy is on your third line you are a damn good team.

He is the utility man. And the Jackets have line 1, line 2a and line 2b. Jenner has slightly better hands, so he gets to play with the beast child and Horty. But Foligno was there earlier in the year and was great. I'd like to see a better winger on the other side of him and Arty though. Next year, the Jackets have five guys who could make the team out of camp: Bjorkstrand (50 goals in the W), Rychel (90 points between two teams), Dano (almost ready to join the AHL), Wennberg (also supposedly coming to NA) and Anderson (+31 in 59 games in London).

If they got a sniping winger for next year and moved Horton to play with Arty and Foligno, they could do major damage. Plus an entire line or more added to the roster? Yeah... I like it.

I love it! Still looking for the gif, he took those boo's and we turned it into a W!
