Neal was finished for the night. Definitely think Neal will be suspended.

Four Days and Counting…

Yesterday, the Jackets acquired Anton Stralman from the Calgary Flames for a third-round pick in the 2010 entry draft.
Stralman is exactly what the Jackets needed, in theory. Here’s General Manager Scott Howson, on the subject:
“Anton fits a critical need on our roster,” Howson said. “He’s got puckmoving ability and power-play potential. He’s a right-(hand) shot, too, which is a nice bonus.
“He’s still a young player in the league, so he has a lot of upside, too.”
We have needed that right-handed shot for quite a while, and he has power-play potential.

I’m not a homer…

And I can admit when the Blue Jackets play like crap and they did tonight.
And, well I’m not a big fan of this. I mean really? That’s like something Sean Avery would do.
The only bright spot on the night was Derek Dorsett, and that is sad. Rick Nash didn’t show up. He played a little over 16 minutes, Dorsett a little under 10, I would have felt better if Dorsett was out there
If we want to win a game, yeah that’s right I said A meaning ONE game, our best players have to be our best players and they simply weren’t tonight.

Six in Nine

Sometimes you have the highs, and then you have the lows. The game on Saturday was one of the worst games I have ever seen the boys play. They finished their sixth game in nine days with a loss to the Anaheim Ducks, who had played the night before.
I couldn’t be prouder of this team. We got NINE out of a possible twelve points, that’s nothing to be ashamed of. Back in the day, we would have considered ourselves lucky to get out of this stretch with 6 points. But, the way we lost was what was disappointing. They just weren’t in the game last night.

Think there may have been some ill feelings from the 2007 Memorial Cup?

Moving right along

The Blue Jackets beat the St. Louis Blues last night to move up to sixth in the Western Conference. They played the game for 40 minutes and then the final period, as Hitch said, “Played the score.” They almost gave the Blues a point, but were able to pull it out, thanks to Steve Mason.
The third period was pathetic, we sat back and let the Blues score two goals to make it a one goal game. It was unacceptable, and one of the periods that make Hitchcock “hate coaching.”

Making the push

WOW. With all the injuries and illnesses that fell on us yesterday, I was tempted to just not go to the game. We were without the services of Methot and Commodore, two of our best defensemen. We were without our number one goaltenders, and were playing our fourth string guy. It didn’t look good for the Blue Jackets, playing the last of a back-to-back game against the best in the West. I got ready and headed up to Nationwide, hoping for the best, and planning for the worst. I was excited to get my first look at Devin Setoguchi.
I sat in my seat and was shocked when the Blue Jackets scored two quick goals. I watched as Dan LaCosta and the Blue Jackets defense limited the San Jose Sharks to two goals.

Time for a Break

Entering the All-Star Break the Columbus Blue Jackets are sitting in 10th place in the Western Conference, two points out of eighth, and four points shy of the fifth place Coyotes, with a game in hand. Last night, the Blue Jackets lost in a skills competition to the Calgary Flames. They went 1-1-1 in their Western Canadian swing, not too bad for an injury ridden team. Those injuries even go to our rookie goaltender, who had to drop out of the YoungStars game due to back spasms. You could tell last night he wasn’t 100% and was probably exhausted after his fifteenth straight start.

The Columbus Kids

The kids are taking over. This team has been getting draft picks galore since joining the league, and now, it’s paying off. It all starts in net.
Pascal Leclaire - Steve Mason - Pazzy earned his spot last season, but this season has been all about Steve Mason. Mason who is leading the league in GAA (1.80) and shutouts (6), is playing like a veteran. He has settled the team down, and has been dependenable. Mason is doing what Pascal Leclaire did last season - only better. I know there is a lot of talk about trading Pazzy but unless it is for a big name center, I don’t see a point. We obviously don’t have the goaltender depth that we need, and it would hurt us more than help.

Happy Thanksgiving!
This is going to be a quick post, mainly because I have cooking and what not to do.
Thankfully, I missed most of the last period so I didn’t get to see my team lose in the final minutes of the game.
