Wennberg was just not ready to make the jump. I am glad he is going to get some time in Springfield to find his speed and build his confidence.

So, I imagine the lines will go:
Scott Hartnell – Ryan Johansen – Nick Foligno
Matt Calvert – Artem Anisimov – Jack Skille
Marko Dano? - Mark Letestu – Corey Tropp
Adam Cracknell – Michael Chaput – Jared Boll

Although, not too sure. Cracknell busted his knee up in the game against the Ducks.

With Murray back, I hope that means Erixon sits. But it will probably be Goloubef.

Although David Savard has taken shifts on wing before. Don't be surprised if you see that either.



And as always, Fuck Jeff Carter.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Gooooooo Kiiiingssss Goooooooo!

Interesting note; Marian Gaborik hosted a dinner at his home for the Blue Jackets players. And the Jackets announcers have said that Gaborik is sitting with Cam Atkinson watching this game.

I miss Gabby.

Appaently, Calvert hurt himself in warmup, so the Jackets are going with 11 forwards and 7 D. The mix was good in the first. Good road period by the Jackets and they lead 1-0 in a goal by Timmay Erixon.

We should trade him now while his stock is high.

Johansen wth the assist extending his points streak to 9.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Let's get this goal back Kings!

Anisimov with two minutes for being pushed into the goalie.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Jeff Carter ties it!!!!!!!

 

[davnlaguna]

Stole kopitars goal.
Hopefully that wont lead to locker room issues

 

[forty_three]

Wow. Johansen hooked Williams' hands to hard he buckled Justin's knees.



aaaaand Fuck Jeff Carter.

 

[davnlaguna]

Anisimov with two minutes for being pushed into the goalie.

[davnlaguna]

Muzzin two minutes for falling With no contact

 

[Cobiemonster]

Top Tittttttttttttttayyy!

 

[Cobiemonster]

Dwight King makes it 3-1!

 

[forty_three]

Mark the Test Tube with a full on snipe to answer the fluke that made it 3-1. 3-2 going to the third.

Still a pretty decent period by the Jackets, two lapses both went to the scoreboard, though.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Noooooooooo

 

[davnlaguna]

That is what the kings need is another injury with no ability to call anyone up.

 

[davnlaguna]

Don't know yet what happened.
