Commodore Out for the Home Opener

The Blue Jackets will open their season against the Minnesota Wild.  They will be doing it without Mike Commodore.  He has been placed on IR with a groin pull according to Puck-Rakers.  Roy has been called up from Syracuse.  It’s a huge loss for the Blue Jackets, but let’s just hope that he isn’t out for a long period of time.

“It’s always in the back of your head,” Boll said. “We know who did it and we know what happened, but we can’t let that get in the way of getting two points. This is a huge year for the franchise and we want to get off on the right foot and that’s with a win, not trying to get back at somebody.”

The scariest news out of last night, was that Jason Chimera, was carried off on a stretcher after a hit from Eric Belanger (of course don’t forget that Chimera gave the crowd 2 thumbs up as he left). 

The quote that shook me the second I read it was from Fredrik Modin:

Update on Salmons

Ryan Salmons was able to attend last nights game.  He will also be appearing on ESPN’s First Take along with Jason Chimera according to Puck-Rakers.

If you’re a DirecTV customer it’s on ESPN2 channel 209.  The show is on now, but the segment hasn’t aired yet.  It’s on until noon.
