  Mase is going for the Jackets which I don't totally understand. Garon deserves a shot in Nashville.
• capninsano

  Nashville is playing pretty well right now. It will take a good SIXTY MINUTE effort to win tonight...not 58 minutes. I'm ok with Mason in goal. Actually at this point I really don't care who is in goal as the defense is playing pretty well in front of both by clearing out rebounds, but they need to shut down the passing lanes. We're giving up too many cross ice one timers.
• End of Line

  

  Please don't let Weber take a one timer from the blue line, as it will most likely go in. The team needs a full 60 minute effort tonight.

  Make it a great day for Columbus! Go Jackets! Carry The Flag1
• Blitzkrieg

  It's a goal for RJ Umberger. Thank You Toronto!
• capninsano

  Nice to finally get one of those. I didn't figure there was any way they would overturn that...fortunately I was wrong.
• capninsano

  Tripping call on Vermette....to the PK we go
• capninsano

  Goal Nashville...Mason wants interference....I don't think it is though
• capninsano

  Nashville is undefeated when they score a power play goal...GOAL!!! Jackets right back! 2-1
• capninsano

  Umberger gets his second....great gritty effort
• capninsano

  Klesla with a dumb penalty...elbow to the face
• capninsano

  Jackets kill the penalty
• Blitzkrieg

  Great day for Ohio State... a win against Michigan and former Buckeye RJ Umberger is having a whale of a game.
• capninsano

  Jackets on their first power play. Brassard had an easy tip in but was brought down from behind. Going to be 2-1 after one.
• Blitzkrieg

  That Nashville penalty should come with a penalty shot.
• capninsano

  I don't know what the rule is on that...I wouldn't think they could give a penalty shot since Brassard didn't have possession of the puck.
• Blitzkrieg

  I'm watching on a small tv in bedroom. I thought he had passed it back to Jake and the left side of the net was open.
• capninsano

  That's what happened..but I thought it was Voracek who passed to Brassard...I could be wrong
• capninsano

  Shorthander from Nashville...Legwand.....poor poor effort by Voracek
• capninsano

  Nashville is killing us in the faceoff circle.
• capninsano

  Penalty to Brassard...trip I believe.
• capninsano

  Goal Nashville...another power play goal..... 3-2 Predators
• capninsano

  Commodore to Blunden on a breakaway but he can't convert.
• capninsano

  Mason! Great save there
