A nail-biter in the 3rd, but a good win, nevertheless. Feels like Peters is starting to hold back the top lines and pairings a little bit.

The Quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little, and it will fail, to the ruin of all. Yet hope remains while the Company is true. Go Flames Go!
Pleasantly surprised by the game...knew it would be hard and fast and it lived up to that. Flames sat back a little much in the third maybe trying to nurse the lead? Maybe OK with this group and this game, but I wouldn't want to see that in the playoffs.
Anyway - big win - and an important cushion over the Sharks right now. Gotta love it!!

Highly doubt we would see that in playoffs. A lot of situational factors that make it pretty easy to look past.

I have a conspiracy theory...
My theory is that the Jackets main goal is to attain that first wild card spot from Carolina and avoid at all costs, Tampa Bay in the first round.
Once we get that in hand we hope that the Capitals win the Metro and take them on in the first round. Why? Because we were able to beat them in the season series 3-1, and that’s without all our trade-deadline acquisitions. They took us out of the playoffs last season right after they beat US 3-1 in the season series. Plus look at how close we were to taking game 3 as well.
I mean batta-bing batta-boom people come on!
Thats just my conspiracy theory don’t kill me

Not a must win but would be great to get more distance from the habs
Quote:
Damn, Calgary already clinched? Let us just have this one, Flames.
Quote:
I for one very much hope the Flames use tonight to rest.
Quote:
Need Pitts to beat Canes. Our goal now should be 1st wild card. If we end up 2nd WC, we’re toast!
Quote:
Pens goal. For those who care.
Quote:
Now Carolina scores!
CAN YOU TWO #######S STOP????
Quote:
Jackets are O-fer the teams on this trip. Time to start changing that.
Quote:
Pens play the canes tonight and I have no idea who I want to get 2 points..
Quote:
Canes.
FTP
Pens have more points, better to have the Canes and Pens close on each other than have the Pens pull away
see point one
Quote:
Keys to the game:
Win
Gellllllll
#### pit

2-0 Montreal. Getting at least a point tonight would be ideal
Quote:
Also, Carolina and Pitt going to OT OF COURSE
Quote:
Worst possible results on the out of town scoreboard so far
“Is it gonna be another 9-6 game?”
Quote:
Man what a night that was. You can see us behind the Calgary goalie for most of the goals then my son's hat on the ice. Z gave him a stick after the game.
Two night before they were down to Edm 3-0 and came back to win 7-3. Then off to Van where they were down late and scored twice to go to OT. They lost in OT but 5 of 6 points was fantastic. Need that repeat on this trip.
I must also say that the people of western Canada were so nice to us even when they were losing. There are some fantastic people out that way. Very knowledgeable and very welcoming fans. I can't say enough about them.

Sorry to make the fanbase look bad

Confession: I'm kinda sad we can't scare Gaudreau with the cannon tonight because seeing him jump never gets old.
This should be some good hockey tonight! Hopefully it gets less weird than last time we played them though haha.
Quote:
The lines will change 4 times throughout the game so who cares how they start?
Quote:
I don’t know if it’s just the camera angle in Calgary but everything looks faster
The Blue Jackets Experience™️
Quote:
Canes tie it up. Post. Post. Give up a goal with :08 left. Nothing like being a blue jackets fan.
Quote:
What a way to end the period. Miss 2 easy goals and give up a goal on a lazy turnover with 7 seconds left...
Quote:
2 ####ing posts and a last second goal. Uuuuuggggghhhhhh
Quote:
Truly the classic Jackets experience. Sadly.

Quote:
Blue Jackets: Hitting posts and opposing players heads. Who needs goals?
Quote:
Of course PLD hits the crossbar.
Quote:
what a sick ####ing joke.
Quote:
If my quick mental math is correct CBJ is 4th in the league in posts and crossbars behind Vancouver, TB, and Vegas with 59 combined.
Quote:
4 now. Really isn't the time of the season for this, hockey gods.
Quote:
Holy #### Dubois
My lord we need to spend the summer standing in the slot shooting the puck.
Quote:
Dubois may never score another goal in his life
Quote:
I assume the hockey gods are saving all our puck luck for the playoffs..... cries
Quote:
Calgary keeps turning the puck over in very bad situations but the Jackets have no interest in doing anything with it

Quote:
Probably wanna pay attention when that guy has the ####ing puck....
Quote:
Johnny's too good to leave him in the slot like that
Quote:
Gaudreau is so good. ####s sake
Quote:
Gaudreau looks like he has the puck on a string jesus
Quote:
He’s unreal.
Quote:
He's such an amazing stickhandler. A treat to watch!
Quote:
Dubinsky is SOOO trustworthy on defense LOL sigh
Quote:
not sure what Dubi was doing on that shift
Quote:
Lmao!!!! So annoying. He was the one too slow to get to the guy in the slot.
My god is he a liability
Quote:
I like jonny hockey. wish he was on our team. hes the only reason i root for calgary when they arent playing us.
A Tale of Two Breads
Quote:
Flames score goals, we hit posts.
Quote:
I think we lead the league in goals given up with less than one minute left in the period.
Quote:
How do you give up that goal???? Good lord, 5 flailing sticks.
Quote:
We thought the period ended 15 seconds before and stopped playing.
Quote:
Sloppy. And frantic.
Quote:
so what happened with about 5 min left in the first? we were winning the shot battle and now we just look rattled
Quote:
Could feel that coming. Defense has been a wreck this game.
Quote:
Should be 3-1 CBJ.
I knew after the 2nd post that Flames would score before the end of the period.
F***
Quote:
What a shock. We fail on our chances. Our opponent never does.
Quote:
As a fellow Italian, its hilarious that Mangiapane's name literally means Eat Bread.
Quote:
Last 5 games Panarin has gone from Wonder Bread to Blunder Bread...... I'll see myself out.
Quote:
Okay what the #### Panarin you had nobody on you and you passed lazily into open space.
Quote:
Since February 26th he has 1 goal and 6 assists. 22 shots taken. guy packed it up.
Quote:
Intermission Stats (because someone had asked):
Panarin was +15 in the 58 games before the trade deadline, scoring 24-44-68 in those 58 games (1.17 PPG).
In the 12 games after the deadline (including tonight) he has been -8, scoring 1-7-8 (0.67 PPG)
Quote:
We’re 70+ games into the season and still can’t communicate and/or cover the back post.
It’s so frustrating.
Frolik’s Backlund Impression
Quote:
Lol the first lines out there for a minute and line 2 scores in 5 seconds
Quote:
So common in hockey to see one team miss a great opportunity and then have the other team come right down and score.
Quote:
Panarin couldn't care less. get out of here, man.
and Jones, brutal.
Quote:
What the #### was that...?
Quote:
Are you ####ing kidding me, wtf.

This is getting ugly.

Wow that was really easy for Calgary

Quote:
Are you serious?!
GOD DAMMIT.
Quote:
You can just lay inside the net and keep the puck out? Why don’t we just always do that
Quote:
How in gods ####ing name did that stay out. This team is allergic to scoring
Quote:
How many can you fit in the net to block?
Quote:
I’m gonna puke. How on earth.
Matty into the EN
Quote:
I swear it seems like david savard is on the ice for EVERY SINGLE empty netter against.
Quote:
Why dump and chase when you've pulled your goalie?
Quote:
Why in the world would they dump it in deep with no one back there?
Quote:
We have to have the dumbest ****ing coach in the league . Have a couple 30 goal scorers, another 4 players in 20 plus goal range , and he puts line combinations together where 2 lines didn’t register a shot. This game is directly on his idioacy
Misery Almost Complete
Quote:
How does anyone listen to Eric Francis and give a **** with what he says?
Quote:
Backlund would get tuned if he ever actually fought.
Quote:
Who is Eric Francis? Apparently its better that I don't know.
Oh Flames, I never follow anything about that club.
Quote:
I hope the GM they hire says in the interview he will not clean house in management, but gets hired, and just nukes the place.
Quote:
7th last in the league.
And then there was X
Quote:
Can't wait to face Vegas and die!
Quote:
Last night really crushed my spirits. Hopefully a trip to socal and watching them live get back on track will bring me out of it.
Quote:
Pathetic that this is how the sharks clinch, 3 different opportunies to do it, and they **** the bed everytime.
Quote:
Well at least the Sharks are a playoff team. I don’t think they are catching Calgary so maybe this slump is a blessing in disguise.
Quote:
Have the Sharks ever won the game needed to get into the playoffs or win a spot? (Rhetorical).
Seems like every year they clinch because someone else does something...
Quote:
Flames are so fast on the counter attack. The second that pass by the jackets missed, both Calgary skaters just took off to start the breakout
Quote:
They gave you a chance Blue Jackets, now it's time for the real third period Flames to show up

Every Arm-Chair GM on this site was throwing Frolik into every dumb trade all year long. I’m so glad he’s still here. He’s the kind of guy you win with.
