I have come to terms we will be finishing third or fourth and draft 5th or 6th and hate this whole season and draft when we draft will smith.
Please lose
Canadians certainly have the injury part of the tank down
Lose 6-5 in regulation you dingle berries
Tank Commander’s back! Now we’re back on track.
Ah, there’s that mile long injury list I know and loathe again. Hello old friend, I missed you.
(I did not actually miss you.)
But speaking of injuries, holy shit, BJA’s out *again*? Did that poor dude just take the Blue Jackets curse with him when we traded him?
Please lose tonight. We want Bedard.
this team consistently finds new ways to disappoint me
hey guys, just wanted to remind you that
KENT JOHNSON IS A MF BLUE JACKET LMAOOO LETS GO
Sharks tied 3-3 after two periods, Hawks 0-0 after one. Here’s to hoping they (Sharks and Hawks) both score 10 more each
We’re all sharks fans today!
I’m at the game tonight, the one game I go to all year, front row. Im donning my jackets third jersey and will for the first time ever, be happy if either team wins for obvious reasons (although we all know what I reallllyyyy want…). 😉
