And that is that…

My cousin (the Preds fan) asked me on the way home if I had to choose getting swept in the playoffs or just not making it at all which would I choose.
Without thinking I chose getting swept in the playoffs. The Columbus Blue Jackets earned their spot and while we had an extremely short run, it was amazing.
The Jackets came to play tonight, and they were able to come back to tie the game…twice.
The crowd was amazing, almost deafening at times, they got behind the Jackets and pushed them to be better.

Do or Die

That’s the situation the Blue Jackets are in tonight as the puck drops on game four.
The Blue Jackets have only scored two goals in this series, both courtesy of RJ Umberger.
Game three was the best I’ve seen the Jackets play in the playoffs, but again they came up short, and well, it was quite the depressing scene. The building was set to go crazy if the Blue Jackets got into the game.

Jackets are down 0-3 in the series, I am down with the plague it seems like, and quite frankly I can’t put this game into words yet…but here, enjoy Commodore spending some time in the Red Wings bench.

Is Vermette the answer?

Vermette practiced on the top line with Rick Nash on his right and Huselius on his left. I suppose we will see tomorrow if it’s going to pay off. If I am thinking on a level as a coach…we need the offense and this is something to spark the offense. With my thinking I’m not one for rewarding a player who isn’t playing well and Vermette hasn’t played well this series. Of course if they score some goals tomorrow then I will just eat my words.
Vermette has the speed and the skill to play with Nash and Juice, and that’s why we brought him in.
Tomorrow night the Blue Jackets play their first ever HOME playoff game. Nationwide has always been kind to the Blue Jackets, and hopefully it will remain the same tomorrow.

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.

Ah, I have been chompin at the bit to get on here and blog about the Blue Jackets first playoff game, and now a day later I finally get to.
I suppose the game has two different parts to it. The first half where the Blue Jackets played the way they were supposed to and the second half when they shut it down for the night and made some mistakes (I’m looking at you Manny and your butt Hejda) and a tied playoff hockey game was soon a 3-1 game, which then became a 4-1 hockey game.

Game Day!

It’s the day that Blue Jackets fans have waited eight seasons for.
It’s a game that I would give my right foot to be at.
Instead I’m having a gathering at my house to cheer on the Jackets as they enter their first playoff game.

As I sit here watching the Penguins and the Flyers game, I am getting anxious for the game tomorrow.
You know the first EVER playoff game that the Columbus Blue Jackets have ever played.
We’re the underdog, but stat of the day courtesy of Light the Lamp:
“Since Colorado in 2002, no defending Stanley Cup champion has got past the first round of the playoffs. Holland chalks it up to parity across the NHL and motivation.”

Good News!

Fredrik Modin might be back for game one against Detroit. Kristian Huselius is ready to go, and don’t hold your breath but Derick Brassard MIGHT be back as soon as game 3.
That’s a lot of fire power. If Brass is back by game 3, I expect the return of the goat line, you remember that one with Voracek and Chimera.
I am so ready for the series to start it’s getting a little ridiculous. My tickets for game four came in the mail today and I carried them around with me and showed them to whoever would look.

We have an opponent, and well, we know the enemy really well.
We played them six times this season, we beat them 8-2 the last time we played them in the Joe.
It’s the Detroit Red Wings.
