Around the League Report

Spoiler!

Rollercoaster Race

I dont know what to say. Streak and it look like easy playoff spot, then losing streak and it looked like lottery team. Now everybody is losing around us. Critical tour in Canada not the easyest tour. Flames are great team with ton of skills. Only way to win is defence with 5player all the time. Scoring competition will not work against Flames. Rock solid defence and 3 goals. 2-3 CBJ wins.

I want to believe, can they make me? Seeing is believing.

I hope the win on Sunday night was something the team could build on for the rest of the season vs. an outlier. I'm trying my best to keep the faith here.

Lots of games are critical, but this feels more critical. With a win we can separate a little, and maybe get some mojo back. A loss and we suck again.

at least with a win the team would be at the same PPG as carolina

Smug Smack Talk

Flames are playing as dead as their crowd

I feel Calgary is the easiest of the 3 west Canada teams

you'd never know that the Flames are third in their division. this team has no jump to start the game. their defense plays so far back, never have saw the Jackets have as much time and space as they do within the first 13 mins of this game. yeesh

The Flames seem very slow tonight. Are the Flames slow tonight? Because the Flames seem slow tonight.

The Saddledome is a morgue tonight lol i hope we give them no reason to be excited

The Garbagemen

Tkachuk is a heap of ####ing trash.

Lmao Lucic is such trash

f***ing Lucic

#### Lucic btw

I really hate Lucic

Tkachuk chews his mouth guard like a dog's chew toy.

#### Tkachuk.

Lucic puts his underwear on arms first

Tkachuk just punched Korpisalo in the face

Tkachuk needs to get ####ed.

Can we ring t####chucks neck

#### tkachuk. such a ####ing bitch

Tkachuk needs a punch in the face.

Turning the Tables

Wait a minute, Calgary is actually playing now. Are they allowed to do that?

Calgary starting to pick up their play. Next goal is important

Need to get back on their toes and off of their heels. Calgary making a push now.

I literally jinx this team so much when it comes to my posts on HF, @CBJWennberg10 knows this all too well.

How the #### do we go from domination to dog ####.

I Will Survive

God look at that lineup. Is Shane Falco starting in net?

Looking at these lines is absolutely ridiculous. Its mind boggling to me that this team is in a playoff hunt

Just checked the lines, sort of shocked Im not playing tonight. Guess I’ll head home.
Go Jackets.

Holy cow you're not kidding, 1/2 the lineup started the season in Cleveland (6 FWDs, 2 Dmen, 1G)
Credit to the FO, Torts, and Cleveland. If you showed me this CBJ lineup on opening night and asked me where they would finish in the NHL, my prediction would be dead last

I go through the 5 stages of grief at least once a game. Sometimes period. It's amazing what torts and co and the front office has done.

Nutivaara with one eye and a stump for a leg is better than ####ing Harrington

There's actually a stages of grief wave chart in one of my old psych textbooks that matches up uncannily with that ####ing Canucks game haha. I'll have to see if I can find it.
This team is somehow making the top teams in the league push themselves to beat half the Cleveland Monsters. I don't think this is quite what Torts meant when he said "there is no one taking a ####ing backward step here" but I'll take it because this is a lot more fun than being done by christmas.

Lindholm stuffs it in

Shiiiiit. Gonna be 9 minutes of clench now

My butthole just turned inside out. Oh my God.

Nervous poo time? Nervous poo time.

Why are we ####ing laying back? You were just clowning them in the neutral zone - ATTACK.

Yep it was building up to this. Clench time

Hold on to your butts and pray no ot

DAMMIT

What the #### I specifically asked the Blue Jackets not to #### this up?

The 2nd period has been The Columbus Blue Turtles

Well, the jackets screwed around for too long. Mistake by Werenski behind the net and Calgary is a few minutes from tying this up

Tkachuk tips in the Tying Goal

You have to be ####ing kidding me. I can’t ####ing believe this

#### THE FLAMES. GOD DAMMIT

What the actual ####.

I hate when a dude acts like a ###### the entire game and gets rewarded with a tying goal

Should have taken his ass out earlier

I hate that guy

why do i even bother man

That's where we need anderson. Tkchuck keeps punking our guys while everyone watches and does nothing like a bitch. Then we let that happen?

I’m not mad, I’m just really, really, disappointed.

We’ve pissed away a lot of games this year but Jesus Christ.......

#### me

Reward for playing 2 periods of turtle mode.

This is what happens when you spend two periods turtling on a 2 goal lead.

#### you, Tkachuk.

Had them dead in the water. Then choked the game away. Blue jackets going to blue jacket

Ugh gonna be difficult because why do it the easy way Jackets?

Don’t worry this was my roommates fault, he said literally at the start of the period “I hope the goalie get mvp for this game because he’s playing really well” and I looked at him and told him “I hope you know that when we go into over time or lose this I’m blaming you”

Time to collect another one of those sweet, sweet overtime losses my dudes.

Brodie in OT

And ice the puck with no pressure.

Get this team out of a playoff spot please

What better time to attack than when you only have two men on the ice

Lol ####ing classic jackets. Damn all star break ruining our momentum jesus.

Come on how do you ice the puck in 3-on-3?

“Hey at least we got a point” is almost as bad as “it wouldn’t be so bad without the wind”

What just happened?

Well for #### sakes. Nice try Korpi....

Of ####ing course...getting real sick of this ####

How are the Jackets so bad in OT?

That’s what we get for not putting them away

Had a feeling that would happen. Ugh

We lost every battle in that last sequence, totally handing Korpi out to dry.

It’s hard to be happy about a point when you had 2 points for literally 58 minutes and 20 seconds.

This game is the season in a nutshell. Incredibly frustrating

Wouldn't be a CBJ game if it wasn't going to OT.

Here's what I expected. This is the outcome when the jackets turtle for 2.5 periods.

There's a reason we have fifteen overtime losses now.

Whenever You-Know-Who Scores

Are you kidding me, Columbus?

Make me f***ing gag.

Jackets liked what they did against the Canucks so much they decided to share it with the Flames

**** off calgary

#### you Columbus

Flames need surgery to remove the horseshoes wedged up their asses

Werenski single handedly lost that game for the Jackets, what a ******* idiot.

The flukiest team in sports.

Werenski is ass.

shocked the Flamers scored 2 in the 3rd and 1 in the last 2 minutes to tie the game...shocked I tell you!
the Flames literally only know how to play 20 minutes a game

Team Horseshoes has also been lucky that their forward core has been ridiculously healthy all season yet still barely in the playoffs

just unreal luck all season...from the SO to relatively good health

It's like teams completely paralyze themselves in the last ten minutes against these clowns

Columbus have looked completely dead this entire period

Columbus so bad in ot. Oh well, flames still hot garbage.

So much for the fan 960. f*** you Flames, least Worthy team in a playoff spot.

CBJ sucks ####.

What the #### Columbus! Not cool

Oh no. Hopefully the Ducks lose at least lol.
Damn you Turtle Boy!

That's a Flames ass Flames win if I've ever seen one.

Columbus looks slow, tired and untalented. I'm not surprised they will choke away that playoff spot.

The hockey gods want us to play the Lames in the first round. They won't go the f*** away

I watched the third and it looked like Columbus just wanted to go home and sleep. Looked like total trash. Those injuries to Bjorkstrand and Jones hurt them so much...
