Jackets were down 2-1 with under a minute left in the third. Vermette scored his first in 18ish games to tie it. Then in OT, Umberger deflects a Clitsome shot into the net on a PP. Nice win.

I'll be damned....they came back from being down 2-0 to win 3-2 in OT....Umby got the game winner on the PP...

 

[buckeyemania11]

that was a nice win....maybe they aren't completely tanking, 4 games in a row getting points

 

[Bucklion]

I have to admit I am surprised by this resilience. Good performances recently to keep getting points on the road, which is nice to see. This team has more spine than I gave them credit for. St. Louis will be a toughie, but there are just 2 games left in January...if they can get points in both, they will still be in the playoff hunt hitting the last 2 months.

 

[Mike80]

And we're 2 minutes and 28 seconds into the game and there have already been two fights

 

[Mike80]

6:30 into the game, CBJ down 1 and Derek Dorsett now has 7 PIMs

Managed to pull out a 5-2 win tonight.

 

[Bucklion]

Sumbitch this team is on fire right now...just in time for the break

Still, at least they're right out of 9th...8th will take some doing however.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Nice showing coming back from down 2-0 (again). Only 7 points from the #4 seed.

In the West, #4 and #14 are separated by 8 points.
In the East, #4 and #14 are separated by 27 points.

 

[jimotis4heisman]

33 games left.

ill say 19-11-3 should do it. 20-9-4 will do it for sure.

My frustration level with Mason is ..... [speechless] ..... might be time to go get a consistent #1 net minder if the CBJ want to get more tallies in the W column.

I was at the game tonight. Exciting game with lots of offense and big hits. Some really nice goals, too. Calvert's was awesome, Brassard's goal came from a great pass from Nash, Toews had a really nice setup as well.

Defense was pretty poor on both sides. Tyutin had some huge turnovers.

Mason wasn't great, but the defense in front of him would have tested Hasek in his prime tonight and Patrick WAHHHH would have quit midway through the 2nd period.

This team looked very rusty (Chicago did as well but their offense is better). Let's hope it doesn't become a confidence issue.

Nice job, coming out of the break giving up the TD. Would be nice if 4 goal efforts won at least a point every time...they had better get it figured out in a week or so, or the playoffs are completely out of reach.
