  I thought torres broke his jaw??????
  
  Prediction:
  
  3-2 CBJ in OT
• TedSheckler

  

  He's been activated off IR. He will be wearing a face shield tonight.
• HeathAlum21

  Remember when the Blue Jackets PK was 1st towards the beginning of the season?
• TedSheckler

  

  Blue Jackets forward Raffi Torres, activated this morning from injured reserve, missed morning skate with the stomach flu, Aaron Portzline reports. He is questionable for tonight's game. If Raffi misses, look for Sestito to take his place.

  Let's Go Jackets! Carry The Flag Columbus!
• capninsano

  This is a big game for Mason. If he doesn't play well, Garon might be on the fast track to being the number one guy for the remainder of the season.
• End of Line

  

  ^^^^Yep. Garon is the caliber of being a starting goaltender anywhere around the league.
• capninsano

  Game under way. Jackets kill off an early penalty
• capninsano

  Jackets going on the power play

  I have a hard time believing this would happen. He is the Calder Trophy winner.
• HeathAlum21

  PP Goal...
• capninsano

  Rick Nash with PP GOAL!!!!!!
• capninsano

  I don't think Hitch cares what awards he won last season....if Garon gives the team a better chance at winning....he's going to play.
• capninsano

  Jackets on the PP again. Ott called for tripping.
• capninsano

  Dorsett and Daley going at it. I'm guessing Dorsett is going to get a roughing penalty here.
• capninsano

  Dorsett and Daley with roughing penalties. Dorsett getting an additional cross checking penalty putting Dallas on the PP. Chimera and Ott now going at it. Game is getting pretty chippy. I'll venture a guess and say Boll is next.
• capninsano

  Nice cross ice pass from Dallas but they can't find the back of the net.
• capninsano

  Mason playing well so far....Columbus kills the penalty.
• capninsano

  Another fight. Boll and Barch. This will be three in the first period.
• capninsano

  All out fight here....both goalies are out!
• capninsano

  I would like to see a goalie on goalie fight...been awhile since I've seen that. Nash is going to get a boarding I think
• HeathAlum21

  Nash took him down baby.
• capninsano

  Nash getting two for boarding and two for boarding. Dallas player gets two for roughing as well so a 2 minute PP for Dallas
• capninsano

  Turco and Mason also getting penalties for leaving the crease.
