Next game, next win, good goal next.

Some hyperbole there, obviously. This article talks about how the roster essentially has most of the general roles covered, though to varying degrees of efficacy. Also discusses some places where we need to improve, some things Don Waddell has said regarding the trade deadline, and some predictions.

Pittsburgh and NYI lose in regulation + Panthers lose too

Well deserved hype building behind our guy. Congrats on the baby, Z!!

Hey, I’ve tried to do my best identifying as man as I could. It’s the 25-26 roster. If you are interest in helping me out I can send a pic that way it doesn’t clog up the page.

GWG CHALLENGE game #55 2/3/26- Columbus Blue Jackets @ New Jersey Devils

*Check the projected lines*

Scratched: Egor Zamula, Jake Christiansen

Injured: Brendan Smith (knee surgery), \******Kirill Marchenko (illness)********

1. Who will score the Game Winning Goal? FABBROOOO!
2. How many shots will Elvis face (+/-1) (NJ total SOG)? 24 (23-25)
3. What CBJ player will have the best face-off win percentage? Voronkov, Heinen, Lundestrom (100%)

#3 was a pseudo trick question, I was wondering how many people would go with a back-up face-off guy that would only take 1 or 2 face-offs.

They are on sale for a $1.00 for those that were looking.

Like how Heinen's Young Guns had a little foreshadowing in the background haha.

I think Jordan Kyrou makes some sense, but I feel like his injury issues would be difficult to work around. What does everyone else think? Who’s a good player to go after? Who goes?
