  1. I didn’t pay a lick of attention to that interview because I was too busy examining that kid’s nose and throat through the glass.

  2. Jenner getting hooked, not getting the penalty shot, then scoring on the PP anyway was the most cathartic moment I’ve seen yet this season.

  3. May have been badly outplayed, but I’ll take an ugly win everyday! 3 more points for Johnny and a great performance from Tarasov.

  4. Fun fact, the Panthers broadcast claimed early in the third that Gaudreau had been a non-factor tonight. Funny, that.

  5. Special teams and excellent goaltending stole us the game. After how our season has been, that is something worth calling off work and getting hammered about.

  6. Lemme tell yah, Chinny is a future big star. Big, fast, sniper. He’s gonna be a problem for other teams for a long time #cbj

  7. That was a lot more fun than yesterday! Had a good time in Columbus, lots of friendly people here and the cities great! Can’t wait to come back!

  8. As abjectly miserable as the start of the season was and as completely hamstrung by injuries the team has been, they are all of 4 points behind the Pens and just 2 behind the Caps (with 2 games in hand). And only 7 points out of a playoff position. It’s almost impossible to believe.

    Not that I have any pretenses of this team being a playoff team, of course. That just isn’t going to happen with this blue line. But it’s nice to see them clawing their way out of the hole they dug.
