Notes:
Jonathan Ericsson is questionable.
Patrick Eaves is making his comeback since suffering a concussion and jaw injury in November 2011.
The Red Wings will be looking to avoid getting embarrassed two games in a row. Look for them to come out strong.
Remember that the doors open extra early for the game today at 5:30PM. This is the first time Nationwide will be using wands I believe. Be prepared for delays entering the arena due to this.
If its possible, get out there in Columbus and spend some money. The area was tremendously hurt by this lockout through no fault of their own.
The game comes on at 1030 Tuesday morning here... I need to come up with a plan for all these weekday games!
02:30 AM on Tuesday here so if I want to watch the games live I have to adjust my whole day rhythm. Right now I'm planning on going to sleep early tonight, like 6 or 7ish, to wake up around 0200 and watch the game live. Normally there wouldn't be a chance I could get any sleep that early but seeing that I'm currently going on 4 hours of sleep last night (because yes, I was watching hockey last night too ) there may be a chance. Either way,

GO JACKETS!
9:30 a.m. here. I won't be able to watch it all, but I'll be able to enjoy my morning coffee while watching the game. Welcome to my new routine I guess.
Come on Jackets! Expect an angry, but beatable Red Wings team to come in. That said, I think that if we win, it will be a close game. 3-2 Jackets.
Expecting a very close game. I wonder if Letestu will get the nod over Calvert tonight.
Based off yesterdays practice lines I would so no.

I predict a slow start, pushing and shoving, then some fights....then the mob of people will get in and the hockey game will start. I just hope the "home crowd" is Jackets fans and not Dead Wings fans.
If anything, this team should be pumped up enough for the 1st home game of the season that the thought of being outworked by the wings shouldn't even cross their minds.
1st game is under their belts and I am expecting a relentless 60 minutes of play from them. They owe it to us if they want to win back the casual fan. Don't make JD a liar!
They do all concessions at the arena (and I think parking), unfortunately.
And the Blue Line at the Arena and Tuttle.
Say what you will about Jacobs, but they kept people employed during the lockout when they could have very easily justified shutting them down, or limiting their hours.
This whole wanding thing. Wasn't this mandated by the league? Anyone heard any comments on how it has been received, and how it is working?
Most places around the league already use wands or metal detectors so there will not be much change other places.
Arenas that I have been to have the following.
Tampa - wand
Nashville - wand
Detroit - metal detectors
Carolina - metal detectors
IMO the wand is much faster then the detectors and really should not be much of a problem for anyone other then the BYOB people who are going to be pissed.
) there may be a chance. Either way,
