Jackets make Franchise History

Wow, that is the perfect way to end the day!!  The Jackets set TWO franchise records tonight.  Most goals scored in a game and largest margin of victory.  The boys seemed happy, and with good reason.  Things were going exactly the way the Blue Jackets wanted and needed tonight.

So here are my thoughts on the game!

Another loss to the Preds

The Blue Jackets lost two HUGE points to the Nashville Predators.  Give credit where credit is due, Pekka Rinne was outstanding tonight.  He made 31 saves, and looked great, it was really my first time watching him play, and I was quite impressed.

The Jackets are now in seventh place in the Western Conference, Saturday we face the Detroit Red Wings in the Joe.  We will have Vermette and Klesla back in the lineup.

Two times in a row

Steve Mason is back in all his glory.  I got home from work pretty excited to turn on the game, only to see the Red Wings tie it up at 2, I immediately turned off the game and made other plans.  I am pretty superstitious when it comes to things like that.  I was in the movies watching Friday the 13th when I got a text letting me know that my boys had pulled out the win.  I couldn’t have been happier.

The Jackets have beat the Sharks and the Wings twice in a row.

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.

Williams is Welcome

To clarify, I never said that Jason Williams would be the big key to making the playoffs - but he is a step in the right direction.  Our power play, is at best pathetic.  We needed a power play specialist and that is exactly what he is.  One third of his production was produced on the power play, according to Michael Arace.  So please, try to explain how that is not an improvement from what we had.

Here is a video from practice today.  They talk to Huselius, Voracek, and Williams of course.  I think Williams is happy to be one of the pieces to help us keep our playoff spot.

Games, Goalies, and Trades

Tons to talk about in the Jackets world!  First of all the Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday to move into the eighth spot in the Western Conference.  That is HUGE for this hockey club, also, it should be known that with the win, we are guaranteed to win the season series against the Avs.
