1 shot, TOI: 11:44

He didn't exactly tear it up...................

I hope that guy was being sarcastic, as to compare niki to nash is certainly laughable.

AV50 · 04-16-2009, 10:12 AM

Zherdev will flee to Russia.

Hi guys. I've been rooting for the Red Wings for over 10 years... But I really have a soft spot for you. It's really nice to have you're franchise in the playoffs.

Good luck.

Operation "Dont ever mess with my mask again" begins in 45 mins. I will be right behind the Jackets bench.

Sadly, I'll miss the puck dropping due to work. But I am pumped for tonight - but its gonna' be rough....

This is where the rubber meets the road. No more fence-sitters. There can be no "Red Jackets" Fans. Pick your side, its war.

Sigh, really? I was a Devils an for 10 years, but when the Jackets were born they became #1, and when the two play I cheer for Columbus.

I agree - you either want one team or the other to win, period.

When I got home and told Mrs IM about it, the first thing she said was: "What hospital did they take him to?"

I love my wife.

God frowns upon such shenanigans. You would have been totally justified and forgiven for consulting the book of armaments and employing the use of The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.

I predict the Red Wings will taste what Blue Pain feels like.

I think so to... sometimes I say things tongue in cheek without the sarcasm icon but not to often.

There is someone at my work who's family is from Michigan. They have season tickets to the Wolverines still and at one point they have had season tickets to the wings. I know she has rooted for the Blue Jackets most of the time. I saw her on Monday and said, "Who?" I said you need to pick this is the end of rooting for both. You are one or the other". "I'll think about it. The next day ," Still Thinking", Yesterday
I say Red or Blue. Her response "BLUE". So glad she lives, cleaning up the body would have taken time. GO JACKETS! Let's do this!!!!!!

CBJ 4 Wings 2

Modin comes off IR and pots two, one a roofer from a bad angle and the other a deflection. Raffi adds a greasy goal and Voracek gets behind the defense to score.

CBJwheel · 04-16-2009, 10:38 AM

My Satellite Box is telling me that tonight's Versus broadcast will be unavailable in my area.

Modin returning is sort of interesting. On one hand I think he will be injured again but on the other hand he could surprise and impact the game..

I'll be watching his game...

jackets are going to win this series in 5. side story i go to the local walmart and pick up a 5 gallon water jug and a 75 foot box of foil and i see a guy with a jackets shirt on and i say nice shirt dude, and then i go home and my son and i start foiling the water jug for our own stanley cup replica and now i have to drink a ton of water as to not spill it everywhere when i cheering us to victory.
