  I shall be there booooing Foote.
• BlueDevil11

  

  Hopefully the Jackets can get a win tonight and not give up 5+ goals like they have been.
• Blitzkrieg

  I would go to boo Foote - but not unless someone gives me a free ticket.
  
  7 loses in 8 games - the Jackets should be paying me to watch them play.

  Picard assigned to Syracuse. Murray activated off IR.
• End of Line

  

  I hope Foote gets a good ole fashioned ass kicking tonight.

  Funny moment pregame - Raffi2 says Raffi1's kid will be good looking if she looks like her dad.
• Blitzkrieg

  Has anyone invited WattersonBuckeye aka Matt over here?
• Blitzkrieg

  Good info on the 2 Colorado rookies - Duchene & O'Reilly. What a great draft for Colorado this summer.
• Blitzkrieg

  Theres something you dont see too often - Commie dropping the gloves.
