Mase is going for the Jackets which I don't totally understand. Garon deserves a shot in Nashville.

Nashville is playing pretty well right now. It will take a good SIXTY MINUTE effort to win tonight...not 58 minutes. I'm ok with Mason in goal. Actually at this point I really don't care who is in goal as the defense is playing pretty well in front of both by clearing out rebounds, but they need to shut down the passing lanes. We're giving up too many cross ice one timers.

Please don't let Weber take a one timer from the blue line, as it will most likely go in. The team needs a full 60 minute effort tonight.

Make it a great day for Columbus! Go Jackets! Carry The Flag1

It's a goal for RJ Umberger. Thank You Toronto!

Nice to finally get one of those. I didn't figure there was any way they would overturn that...fortunately I was wrong.

Tripping call on Vermette....to the PK we go

Goal Nashville...Mason wants interference....I don't think it is though

Nashville is undefeated when they score a power play goal...GOAL!!! Jackets right back! 2-1

Umberger gets his second....great gritty effort

Klesla with a dumb penalty...elbow to the face

Jackets kill the penalty

Great day for Ohio State... a win against Michigan and former Buckeye RJ Umberger is having a whale of a game.

Jackets on their first power play. Brassard had an easy tip in but was brought down from behind. Going to be 2-1 after one.

That Nashville penalty should come with a penalty shot.

I don't know what the rule is on that...I wouldn't think they could give a penalty shot since Brassard didn't have possession of the puck.

I'm watching on a small tv in bedroom. I thought he had passed it back to Jake and the left side of the net was open.

That's what happened..but I thought it was Voracek who passed to Brassard...I could be wrong

Shorthander from Nashville...Legwand.....poor poor effort by Voracek

Nashville is killing us in the faceoff circle.

Penalty to Brassard...trip I believe.

Goal Nashville...another power play goal..... 3-2 Predators

Commodore to Blunden on a breakaway but he can't convert.

Mason! Great save there
