PrintFlase alarm with my last game preview- Dorsett was a game-time decision last game and it turned out he wasn't ready. He's definitely going in tonight however, along with Kris Russell, who will slot into the lineup for Mathieu Roy. Dors will be taking Picard's spot in the lineup. Matty Garon is in between the pipes for the Jackets tonight.
This one won't be easy. The Hawks have lost two in a row, and want to show off for the home fans before leaving on a lengthy road trip. Chicago can score almost at will, and they are the kind of team that pounces on mistakes made by the oppoistion and makes them pay. For the Jackets to win tonight, they need to play an air-tight style, and they absolutely have to convert on special teams.
Fearless Prediction : Nasher gets a goal tonight.

Fearless Prediction
Well, I don’t think it could have been said easier than that. Nash needs to show up, Huselius needs to………uhhh……do the opposite of everything. I think those two need to get it going to have a chance tonight and for the season. Love my CBJ, but Chicago is a scary team.

Yes. Chicago is downright frightening. Mike said it, play air-tight, convert on special teams. Don’t forget the whole “no turnover” thing (looking at you Jan…Fedor…Mike…oh hell, everyone who isn’t Kris Russell…to an extent that is.)
Columbus til I die, Columbus til I die. I know I am, I swear I am, Columbus til I die!
Damn it feels good to be a Buckeye!
