Jackets play tomorrow in Detroit, and I am beginning to feel good about it. That has to mean something right?
Still no word on the meeting with Legein today, perhaps we will find more out tomorrow. Here’s the update from Lindsay Kramer on Legein.

Injures get me down…

What do you do when your team keeps taking injury hits?
Well, if your me, you feel sorry for yourself…really sorry for yourself.
I know I shouldn’t and I was doing well for a while but after the loss to the Blues, I just want to feel bad. Nothing like self pity I guess.

There it goes.

The four game winless streak is finished. I’m not too thrilled with the game last night. There was not a bit of rythym to it, and well, if there was, I didn’t see it.
There weren’t very many positives from the game. Four power play goals and one short-handed goal were allowed last night. On a good note, Steve Mason was not at fault for most of the goals, blame the defense who offered him no help.

Four in a Row!

The new Columbus Blue Jackets apparently don’t care about the fact that The Pepsi Center is not always kind to us. The Jackets went into the game struggling, and then once Steve Mason’s franchise record shutout streak was broken, something clicked, they got mad, and they took over. They dominated the play and ended up rolling to a 6-1 victory. Goals were scored by Commodore, Umberger, Voracek, Nash on the penalty shot, and Huselius with two.

Jackets in Colorado

It was so weird being out of the Blue Jackets loop for two days, and covering two teams, that are our biggest rivals. It made me realize a few things. First, I love the Columbus Blue Jackets, don’t get me wrong, I had an amazing two days, probably the best two days I have ever had, but watching them made me realize the Blue Jackets are my team. Second, I love seeing Steve Mason in net, and missing the Ducks game, was killer for me. I had some great friends who kept me updated on what was going on, but still I missed seeing my rookie goaltender post his third shutout. And, third, Chicago taxi drivers are on a mission to give you a heart attack.

Mason Rookie of the Month…Again!

According to Puck-Rakers Mason won rookie of the month for December, it’s his second month receiving the honor, and third month in a row that a Blue Jacket has received the honor, starting with Brassard in October. I will be posting more on this later, when an official announcement is made.

What a day!!

Wow, I am home from Wrigley, and I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing the day was.
As I mentioned earlier I spotted the Red Wings playing soccer out by the concession stands, which was extremely entertaining. I still can’t get over how cool and calm they were with the fans, it was absolutely amazing.

Tales from Wrigley

Just got to Wrigley and am happy to report that I am indoors, it’s definitely interesting though.
When I was walking to my area, I saw a group of people crowded around in a circle. I went and did a little investigation, and sure enough, some of the Detroit Red Wings were out, among the fans, kicking a soccer ball around. I tried to get a photograph, but it didn’t turn out quite as well as I had hoped. Kris Draper, Johan Franzen, and Jiri Hudler were just some of the guys out there.

Updates from the Classic

I apologize for not having this up earlier, but it has been a crazy day for me. Leaving at 5:30 this morning, and driving to Chicago, then spending the day at Wrigley Field, and then dealing with internet issues at the hotel, well, and that’s where I stand now.

Winter Classic

Alright! I just finished packing and this will be my last post until I reach Chicago tomorrow for practice. I will try to give you updates while at practice, but for the most up to date information, feel free to follow me on twitter, @bethanym85. After practice I will have a full run down on what has been going on.
As you know I am very excited for this opportunity. I am really hoping it will snow, that made the Classic last year. I think I am most excited about seeing it in person, and for the opportunity to meet some of the fans in Chicago, and of course to be in Wrigley Field.
If you have any questions that you want me to ask (within reason) to the players, let me know and I will see what I can do. Just leave a comment here, and it will be sent to my phone or you are more than welcome to e-mail me .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
I am leaving in 8 hours so I better head to bed, but I will keep you updated on here as much as possible, but like I said, follow me on twitter for information as it happens.
