Commodore To Bust Out the Robe

It’s amazing how a little thing like your team making it to the Stanley Cup playoffs can change your attitude in a split second.
First thing I did when I woke up - grabbed the blackberry, and checked the standings, just to be sure that the little ‘x’ was there.
It was. I think I may have cried some more, but that doesn’t matter.
All that matters is that we’re in the playoffs, and Mike Commodore is going to debut his robe in the dressing room Saturday night.

One Point Away!

If the Blue Jackets are able to get one point out of this game tonight, for the first time ever, the Columbus Blue Jackets will clinch a playoff spot.
The Blackhawks are coming off a big win in Nashville, but don’t expect them to come out and take it easy on us.
Just like the game on Sunday, we have to play our hardest, and we need to get two points, instead of just one.

What a weekened! Friday I packed up and headed down to Nashville to watch the Jackets take on the Preds.
While I was down there I got to meet up with What the Puck and Forechecker, and of course some of my favorite Jackets fans!
The game was great, the Jackets had a chance to win being up 3-1 but the Jackets were IN Nashville so the Preds tied it up and then scored a fourth goal. Thankfully Williams tied it up, but of course the Blue Jackets lost in a shootout.

Vermette gets the Winner

Well, now that win was nice. The Blackhawks were tired from their game last night against the New Jersey Devils and they still managed to get a point out of tonight.
The win tonight tied a franchise record for most points in a season. 80 points and they’re sitting nicely in sixth place in the Western Conference.
The Jackets are now 5-1 with Vermette in the lineup. He has had an immediate impact on the team, and has helped us in every situation.

Jackets Breaking Franchise Records

The records just keep falling for the Columbus Blue Jackets.
They had the biggest crowd in the history of the Columbus Blue Jackets, a whopping 19,167 people witnessed the Blue Jackets beat the Pittsburgh Penguins in a shootout.
“Somebody let in these other people today with the funny-colored sweaters,” Hitchcock said, referring to the thousands of Penguins fans. “And it screwed the sound up.”

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.

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.
