  Go Jackets.
  
  Get off the schneid and start finishing games
• End of Line

  

  Got to go with the Flames in this one. They're playing really good hockey, ever since they got stomped by the Blackhawks.
• Nate

  I usually don't check out Hockey posts but this was a really good post. Kudos.
• Blitzkrieg

  I'm going with CBJ in an upset.
  
  Also - Kudos really go out to DC from the other site for his GDT format.

  Jackets need this one. Hopefully they can stay out of the box.

  Dear Blue Jackets,
  What the hell is going on with you lately? You have single handedly screwed up a game any way possible on the last road trip. Will you please get the sand out of your vagina's and play like an actual hockey team now? Thanks.
  
  Sincerely,
  Every Blue Jackets fan.
  
  P.S. Why the fuck is Freddy Modin still on this team? I think his ratio of missed games to injury to games played has to be 3-1.
• darbypitcher22

  

  I thought Modin got cut or released or something? LOL
• gerb131

  

  Hitch has a crush on Freddy.
• darbypitcher22

  

  Well they better get their heads out of their ass and get playing better hockey
• TedSheckler

  

  Flames 5-3. Jackets make another backup goalie look like a stud.
• Blitzkrieg

  Great news - Picard was called up from Syracuse! He has been magnificent. 58 Games played in the NHL and a whopping 2 assist and 0 goals.
• End of Line

  

  Modin is on LTIR.

  The Jackets have given up 2 goals one minute and twenty seconds.
  Tied at 3 with 1 minute left.
• BlueDevil11

  

  Going to overtime after the Jackets blow a lead late.
• BlueDevil11

  

  Calgary dominated OT, but did not score.
  Jackets only had one good shot on goal, while Calgary had several.
  Now going into a shootout.
• darbypitcher22

  

  unbelieveable...
  
  is this team, virtually the same team that made a playoff run last year THAT inept?
• BlueDevil11

  how many more times are they going to do this?
• BlueDevil11

  

  I forgot about the game and turned it on with 5 minutes left and saw two goals immediately. Maybe I should quit watching, everytime I watch they seem to give up several goals.
