Hopefully the Jackets can get a win tonight and not give up 5+ goals like they have been.

I would go to boo Foote - but not unless someone gives me a free ticket.

7 loses in 8 games - the Jackets should be paying me to watch them play.

Good info on the 2 Colorado rookies - Duchene & O'Reilly. What a great draft for Colorado this summer.
