Cam "Little Lion Man" Atkinson and Mark "french Test Tube" Letestu were just activated off the IR, and will be in tonight.

Gives a little flexibility for the Jackets without so much reliance on Tropp and Boll.

Lines at practice:
Hartnell - Johansen - Foligno
Calvert - Dubinsky - Atkinson
Collins - Wennberg - Skille
Morin - Letestu - Boll

I expect that Chaput will be sent to Springy and Tropp will get comfy seats for a few days, until Collins comes crashing down.

Letestu and Morin on a fourth line. I like it. Call up Rychel or Dano and release Boll, and it will look even better.

C-Bus could do the Flames a huge solid by knocking off the Stars tonight.

That Montreal/Tampa Bay should be a good 1 tonight. Got to think it's between those 2 in the Atlantic this year.

I'm not gonna lie to y'all, this Ottawa-Philly game is one of the fugliest pieces of garbage I've ever watched.

Columbus 8 points out of WC

Yotes 12 points out of WC; currently the #4 pick. Too early to start rooting for draft position?

Yup it's too early to root for draft position.

All I want is one legit goal scorer

Jackets up 2-0 already Hartnell and Foligno with 2 assists each

Beauty of a goal from Hoffman in Philly there...although the play was offsides.

Does that mean I can't root for draft position?

Because I gotta say, I've been doing so since about the midway point of last season.

Kevin Connauten just thanked the Stars for waiving him. 3-0 Jackets.

Foligno assisting all 3 of the BJ's goals

Stop me if you've heard this one before; something done to a player for Dallas = Penalty. Things done by Dallas players = no penalty.

Erik Cole just cross checked Morin in the face after a whistle 3 feet in front a ref - nothing. But Savard got penalized for a hitting a guy who had the puck.

Stars back in it 3-2. Jackets flow is all gone.

 

[Sgt Brutus]

Yotes down 3-0 :frown:

 

[Cobiemonster]

Flyers won a game in the shootout!!!!!!!! I repeat, the Flyers have won a game in the shootout!!!!

Varly with a 54 save shutout against the Hawks, who couldn't find that gear tonight.

Hardly believe it after that dismal stretch, but the Jackets are over .500.

Letestu gets the insurance goal in his first game back. Stars fought their asses off, but Bob stood tall. 4-2 Jackets
