If, as has been reported, teams have been calling about Brassard, In find it hard to believe a reasonable return hasn't been offered.
206A tonight. (Then an early morning rise for the drive to Cincy tomorrow to see what a dysfunctional organization looks like when something finally goes right - and, hopefully, see that same organization lose to its longtime nemesis.)
Question.
Which city is better?
Grove City, PA or Grove City, OH.

Depends on what you prefer. Generally-speaking -- GC Ohio is not a bad suburban area despite its historic and somewhat still-valid reputation. GC Pa is a small college town not unlike Granville or Mount Vernon.

Sad to say, but I hope we lose so Arniel is gone and Howson finally trades for a good goalie.
Do you realize that this has been said EVERY game for the past 5-6 games. And yet is hasnt happened and I do not see it happening. With the amount of injuries, my thinking is that they want to see what Arniel can do with full bench. And second, Mason has so a low trading value that I doubt we could get much for him.
Regardless, I look forward to every game for some reason. We may suck, but the way I see it, things cant get much worse than this. There is always next season.
Not at this one. I'm in Denver and going to see the flames / avs game. I'll be sporting my Wheaties Calvert though. Should be interesting if I get crap for the jersey foul. : )
I'll be keeping tabs on this one via the iPhone though. Hope they can get one tonight.

Let us know how the Pepsi Center is, if it was a few weeks ago you could've saw Peter Forsberg's retirement ceremony. Not that you care, but it's something.
Tyutin, Nikitin
Clitsome, Wisniewski
Methot, Moore
Mason
I hope that the third line will play maximum 5 minutes and not more.
Dont mind that lineup at all. Lets see what they got. I think we get some goals tonight with Carter back in...we freaking missed him. Either that or we play like **** as always and somehow manage to lose. Oh well Fail4Nail. Trade Brass for Lindback, Bob, or Bernier.

I agree about management's plan on waiting to see what Arneil can do with a full bench. Now we have the forwards back, except Juice who they knew would be out long term, and they scratch Brass. I don't get it scratch calvert and see how they do.
Regardless just fire Arniel, 5 and 32 since Feb 25, 2011. That is ******* ridiculous!!!
Not that it matters, but I kinda miss Claude. People made fun of the "joy" stuff, but the guy won more than he lost - with a lot less talent on the roster.
But that's over and done, and the Jackets gotta win tonight.
I'm still cheering for the Blue Jackets. STILL!! And I will be watching so I want to see AWESOMENESS!!!
Ya know, at some point, they're gonna get tired of being talked about in a bad way and get an attitude. I'm certain that will make a difference. CACarter, not so much but will happily allow him to prove he's worth waiting for.....
Tyutin, Nikitin
Clitsome, Wisniewski

I think it says volumes about the player performance, coaching and GM/President that we are icing most teams 4th line centers or trade bait as centers for our 2nd, 3rd, and 4th lines.
Hope that pairing with Wiz will do something for Clitsome's game of late but it does not look a defensively responsible pairing.
Am trying to be optimistic about Nikitin but it's appears a shake up the D move rather than precursor to a bigger deal that I hoped for.
I am unsure if in 5 years as a fan I have had less faith in 4 lines and 3 pairings than I do looking at tonight's lines.
Luckily its WPG so only a 5 or 6 goal beatdown is likely. (hopefully)
Did anyone hear Howson today after the morning skate? I went for the skate but couldn't stick around. I'm guessing there was just standard lawyer talk?

So did Davis Payne.... And smarter men than this organization has ever had deemed it wise to fire him...

i'm heading out to denver next year for the jackets game against the avs. can you give us a report about the arena? seating (good/bad). my brother moved out there and we are going to do the avs and coyotes trip in march or april. thanks.
tonight all will be the same 1-1 after 1, and then the flood gates will be opened and the final score will be ding ding ding--5-1. ryjo with the winn- oopps. with the only score.

Pepsi center is pretty nice. I've been to a few games there, and I've even sat in the last row of the upper deck and thought the view was decent. Depends on your preference as how close to the action you want to get, but seating is not that different from the Nat.
Back to the task at hand....with Winnipeg coming to town, this was one game I was most looking forward to when the schedule was released. Now I don't even really feel like going. My family is bailing but I was able to convince a neighbor to go with me and gave away 2 other tickets.
Thanks Jackets, I'm moving on from disappointment to apathy. Hopefully, something happens this weekend to rekindle my spark.
What part of I'm not 10 do you not understand? Stop with that suggestion.
I agree 100% Blah. I don't think he gets it.

Paper bags are overdone. Need a new idea, something different.
Seriously... Give it up already.
Aren't you aware that we are already embarrassed nationally? Do you live in a pink-panty-filled bubble or something?
Part of me thinks this is going to be a competitive game between equals.
Another part of me thinks Coach Arniel is going to go down to one last embarrassing, one-sided defeat.
I hope Arniel will explain our players the must be in the front of the net. We need Kubalik here. Btw who will be in the second line in the front of the net?
(hopefully)
