    We don’t need to concede 6 goals tonight, but I fully expect Boston to dominate.

  2. Archangel612

    Checklist for tonight’s game

    – Lose in regulation

    – Mash Marchand into the boards

    Edit: Marchenko breaks the CBJ rookie scoring record

  3. Captain49

    No matter the result tonight, I think we can at least all agree that a round 1 series sweep of Boston would be pretty sweet. Especially if they get the President’s Trophy tonight.

  4. Fully expect to get destroyed tonight so my only ask is please don’t let Orlov do Orlov things in the process lol.

  5. CrazyLegLaFleur1

    We need at least one Marchenko goal, and a win would be nice

  6. dwlarkin

    1) holy shit, pastrnak has more than *double* the goals of Boone

    2) well that’s cool, Johnny has more assists than their leader

    3) lmao Johnny has 69 points. Nice

  7. Tucker897

    Idk about you guys but because this is the nhl and Boston is already in the playoffs I full expect the CBJ to just whoop their asses tonight. Knowing us we’ll put up 10 tonight. I hope im wrong.

  8. Timberrr15

    Can’t wait to win for absolutely no reason

  9. NontransferableApe

    Lose 8 straight get a 3 point gap from the 31st team and win the last at home?

  10. JunesDepartmentStore

    [CBJ call up Bjork](https://twitter.com/bluejacketspr/status/1641459373170909185?s=46&t=cPYhpSLqKLAxK72dD2p0_A)

    [Edit: It’s an emergency recall, sounds like there is apparently an “illness” spreading through the locker room](https://twitter.com/aportzline/status/1641459788415467524?s=46&t=cPYhpSLqKLAxK72dD2p0_A)

    Edit II: [Neither Boqvist or Christainsen is on the ice during the morning skate](https://twitter.com/jacketsinsider/status/1641463072031223810?s=46&t=cPYhpSLqKLAxK72dD2p0_A)

  11. mkington

    Our +- leader is Sweezy at 0 while theirs is +46. That gave me a good laugh this morning.

  12. Sloane_Kettering

    Need a marchenko goal to break the record and erase PLD from the record books

  13. gmann2388

    I’m ready for the season to be over. Not for the reasons everyone thinks, but because I’m tired of my ignorant coworkers always talk about how and why the jackets are so bad… Without actually watching any of the games.

  14. thecbjfan

    Crazy how Johnny went from 115 points to 69. The team is trash so that makes sense tho

  15. radios_appear

    Do you think we find a new coach in this off-season or does the statute of limitations on whatever Brad is blackmailing the org with end after next season and he doesn’t get renewed?

  16. RedditShhhmeddit

    Kind of want Marchenko to break the record at home
