CBJ Thread

[Cbus76]

The game at the Shoe should be very cool. Will be a twist for OSU fans to root for the team in blue and Michigan fans to root for the team in red in the football stadium. I bet they get a great crowd, maybe north of 90,000.

The CBJ have a nice young team, but at some point they need to turn promise into results. The run a few years ago where they beat the Lightning in 4 was awesome, but they've done nothing else in their history. I think Marchenko, Fantilli, Voronkov, Chinakov, etc. could be electric, but they need the vets like Johnny Hockey and Laine to earn their salaries. Oh, and for Elvis to start playing better (and he has of late).

Looks more and more like Tarasov is probably the guy in net going forward. I think the big problem with the Jackets is just bad defense. Honestly we could replace all those guys. Forwards need some time to gel, mostly pretty young guys. I hope next year they compete for a playoff spot.
