Additional stats will be provided later on.

Word is Raffi1 might miss the game tonight, as his wife may be having their first child.

If there was ever a game to get the 2 points this is it.

Kessell and Hagman are the only good points on the Maple Laughs.

Jackets win 4-1

alright guys...

we won one yesterday..... we win one today, that's 2 in a row... we win one tomorrow, that's called a Winning Streak... it HAS happened before....

Columbus lost to Chicago Tuesday darby.....

OP updated.

We need this. We have been playing Notre Dame-football esque, only in hockey. We both have(had now I suppose) fatass coaches, have a really good offensive player with a few weapons, and we both have shitty defenses. Need I say more? lol

^^^^^^^^That made me laugh.

God I hate to admit it because I hate Notre Dame with a passion, but that's pretty accurate.

shit... last game I saw we played the Blues...

Toronto 2
Blue Jackets 0
8:13 left in first period

Toronto leads 2-0 after 1 period.

Jackets are living up to the Notre Lame comparison so far.

And just like that, we score. yay.

Goal Jackets!!
Huselius
2-1 Toronto
14:54 left in second period.

keep complaining about the Jackets Darby, let's see if they can get a few more goals.

Goal toronto
3-1 toronto

And just like that. fuck. Oh well hopefully if I keep bitching it will lead to more goals!!!!

Goal Toronto
4-1 Toronto
Mason pulled from the game.

Well, the tv is now on the Oregon/Oregon State game. Thanks Jackets, you fucking suck.

Shorthanded Goal Toronto
5-1
First shot Garon faced.

The Jackets are getting their shit stomped in tonight. Burke is starting to look like a genius by bringing Kessell on board.


Thankfully, Im watching the Pens game and it's a really good game.

Just waiting for the Oregon/Oregon State game to be on now.
This one is over.

Shorthanded goals, turnovers, poor play from Defensive lines.

And I make note that when the offense can't score, Mason throws a tantrum... but when Mason sucks, no emotion at all.
