Guys, after the long wait, we're finally here: a 1OB game day. People said anyone could launch a website. Those people are fools. First of all, if you can't leverage existing technology, good luck. Second, you need to be a #content king. I'm neither of those things. People also said anyone can create a forum thread. Those people were correct (subject to global +/-policies). So here we are.
It's game day. Game #66 tonight, first of a back-to-back to that lowly Buffalo Sabres.
Bob will use the weekend to try to make it for in a row and fulfill the prophecies. This is actually all I've got in terms of analysis...sorry.

1stOhioBattery is doing work in creating engaging formatting for its content. Enjoy it while you can (until the inevitable playoff collapse and swearing off of hockey).
Bluejackets are 5-1-1 since the bye week (when does the NHL upgrade to "Open Weeks?"). That sounds great, but that basically how one maintains status quo at the top of the Metropolitan Division--the best half of a division in hockey.

It's also Friday. What a coincidence.
Let's get the CBJ weekend conversation started. (tl;dr:) Who is going to the game, what is everyone doing to Friday-prepare for the game, what are Game 66 thoughts, and what are people's hopes for 1OB Game Day content?
Sorry, this falls well short of and doesn't come close to qualifying as a Game Day Skully-type thing...this place has growing pains for everyone. Once it falls flat on its digital face, don't be shocked if it's repurposed as the Game Open Thread. Voting on for now! Up votes for everyone!
