Colorado in Columbus

Tonight the Blue Jackets have the opportunity to sweep the season series against the Avs. It can be done. The Avs are battered, and without the services of their captain, Sakic.

We have to play smart hockey. We have to play the same way we did against the Sharks.

Dan LaCosta in nets, and there may be some scratches, due to the flu which is making it’s way through everyone apparently. Methot has been hit hard and according to Puck-Rakers has lost six pounds.

Blues in Cbus

Rusty is back! And, Steve Mason is feeling much better so he will be making his 19th consecutive start tonight. The Jackets are taking on the St. Louis Blues who lost in a shootout to Detroit last night.

Backman and OKT are the scratches on defense for tonight. Picard has cleared waivers and is now heading to Syracuse.

The Blues always play well against us, and we should go into this game expecting the Blues to play a “weighty” game. The Blue Jackets have always struggled against the teams they should beat, but at home, we shouldn’t in theory have that issue.

Avs are in Town

Tomorrow night is the night when the Colorado Avalanche come to Columbus. One man who won’t be on the ice for the Avs - Adam Foote, will still likely be the talk of the town. In fact, he’s been the talk for almost a year now. You see, Foote left us, five points out of a playoff spot, and apparently, Terry Frei, thinks that even though he left, we still received draft picks, so we shouldn’t be bitter. Here’s what he said:

The funny thing is, Columbus ended up getting first- and fourth-round draft choices for Foote, now 37. That’s a great deal for the Blue Jackets - one that looks more as if the Jackets made it from a position of strength, not backed-into-a-corner weakness.
