  The skid has to end sometime, tonight's as good of a night as any.
  
  Just found out that my wife bought me a Rick Nash jersey for Christmas!

  I don't consider one win an end to the skid though. I'd call it a fluke until I see a winning trend.
• pkebker

  Hey...winning streaks always start with 1 win...we're winning 1-0 with Nash's goal...
• pkebker

  well...1-1 at the end of the first...
• darbypitcher22

  

  down 2-1 now. Goals Dallas has gotten are too easy. We suck.
• BlueDevil11

  

  Still 2-1 after two periods.
• End of Line

  

  Just turned the game on. 3-1 Dallas with 3:38 left in the 3rd. It's easy to say that the Jackets lost tonight.
• osudarby08

  

  holy shit the jackets are soooooo baaaad. Something drastic needs to happen, whether its a big trade or a new coach. With a team this bad nobody wants to go to the games. Which means no $$$$$. So, even if Howson says he doesnt want something to happen it seems inevitable at this point.
• End of Line

  

  Jackets lose 3-1. Not a supirse.
• darbypitcher22

  

  I don't know if changing the coach or making a trade is gonna do anything @ this point...we're just god awful
• End of Line

  

  I still believe this team has potential. Not with Hitch though.
• darbypitcher22

  

  if its not with Hitch(who was a proven winner in other places), with who?
• TedSheckler

  

  Juice sucks.
• End of Line

  

  Idk why they offered him 4.75mil a year.
• TedSheckler

  

  Because at that point, the CBJ stunk and needed to overpay every free agent that was willing to come here.

  The Pens changed coaches last year and look what happened...something's got to change...
