Go Jackets.

Get off the schneid and start finishing games

Got to go with the Flames in this one. They're playing really good hockey, ever since they got stomped by the Blackhawks.

I usually don't check out Hockey posts but this was a really good post. Kudos.

I'm going with CBJ in an upset.

Also - Kudos really go out to DC from the other site for his GDT format.

Jackets need this one. Hopefully they can stay out of the box.

Dear Blue Jackets,
What the hell is going on with you lately? You have single handedly screwed up a game any way possible on the last road trip. Will you please get the sand out of your vagina's and play like an actual hockey team now? Thanks.

Sincerely,
Every Blue Jackets fan.

P.S. Why the fuck is Freddy Modin still on this team? I think his ratio of missed games to injury to games played has to be 3-1.

I thought Modin got cut or released or something? LOL

Hitch has a crush on Freddy.

Well they better get their heads out of their ass and get playing better hockey

Flames 5-3. Jackets make another backup goalie look like a stud.

Great news - Picard was called up from Syracuse! He has been magnificent. 58 Games played in the NHL and a whopping 2 assist and 0 goals.

Modin is on LTIR.

The Jackets have given up 2 goals one minute and twenty seconds.
Tied at 3 with 1 minute left.

Going to overtime after the Jackets blow a lead late.

Calgary dominated OT, but did not score.
Jackets only had one good shot on goal, while Calgary had several.
Now going into a shootout.

unbelieveable...

is this team, virtually the same team that made a playoff run last year THAT inept?

Columbus up first-
Huselius Goal

Calgary Goal
Dawes
1-1

Nash Goal
Jokinen Goal
tied at 2

Round 3
Tyutin stopped
Inginla stopped
Tied at 2 after shootout

guess you keep going?

Extra Shootout
Stralman stopped
Lundmark GOal
Calgary Wins in Shootout

how many more times are they going to do this?

I forgot about the game and turned it on with 5 minutes left and saw two goals immediately. Maybe I should quit watching, everytime I watch they seem to give up several goals.
