Rick Nash leads the way

Rick Nash is for real. He’s the best captain that this franchise has ever known. He never gives up, and is always willing to do what it takes to make his team win. So let’s take a trip down memory lane with Nash.
What I love the most is that he hugs everyone, like seriously everyone around him.

Nash beats Wings

The Wings were without two of their best players, and lost another player during the game. Rick Nash took advantage of the situation, and carried the Blue Jackets into victory. Nash scored a short-handed goal, a power play goal, and an even strength goal in OT, to give the Jackets two crucial points. What a game.
The Jackets came out flying, but Hossa scored on the power play to give the Wings a lead. The Blue Jackets hopped on their captains back, and followed his lead, and won the game. Mason had a decent night, but he wasn’t the story, for the first time this season.

Jackets at a Glance

Wow. What a game last night. I don’t have time for a real post, so this will have to do for now, but I promise it will be worth it.
*The game last night was absolutely ridiculous, way too many goals were scored, but in the end we somehow prevailed, and in the shootout to boot. I am impressed.
*Rick Nash was a monster last night. Nash had a goal and two assists and a goal in the shootout to seal the victory for the Jackets. Nash is now the all-time leading scorer for the Columbus Blue Jackets. He is now one point ahead of David Vyborny. Vyborny had 317 points in 543 games. Nash now has 172 goals and 146 assist in 404 games all as a Blue Jacket. Here’s to many more points to come!

Four in a Row!

The new Columbus Blue Jackets apparently don’t care about the fact that The Pepsi Center is not always kind to us. The Jackets went into the game struggling, and then once Steve Mason’s franchise record shutout streak was broken, something clicked, they got mad, and they took over. They dominated the play and ended up rolling to a 6-1 victory. Goals were scored by Commodore, Umberger, Voracek, Nash on the penalty shot, and Huselius with two.

Mason to Debut!!

Steve Mason is making his professional debut tonight in Grand Rapids, Michigan. How excited am I? Very excited. With Pazzy having so many ankle issues, it makes fans excited for that goaltender of the future. Also playing for the Crunch tonight are Nikita Filatov and Kris Russell. Scott Howson will be in attendance, not just for Mason, but to get a look at Filatov and Russell.
In other exciting news Raffi Torres could be playing as soon as Saturday. That is a big deal for our hockey club. Getting Torres healthy is a big step in getting the club going again. Torres may not be a big scorer, but he’s a big scorer and is a huge energy guy. With Torres likely coming back that means that we will be losing a winger…who will it be Picard or Dorsett? Only time will tell, but Picard has to be put through waivers in order to be sent to Syracuse.

Nash down the Middle?

Please tell me that this is just in practice.
The top line that the Blue Jackets are practicing as are Chimera-Nash-Huselius. Yup, Nash is centering the top line.
I don’t know that Nash has ever played center, I would have to look into it, but if you remember Modin was moved to center, as was Zherdev. More, when Puck-Rakers updates it.

Wow. That’s all I can say after the home opener against the Nashville Predators. But, before I get into the game, I have to thank Alanah for posting about Peca’s suspension for me (I will have more on it tomorrow), while I was away. I really appreciate it.
The game started off great, with an amazing tribute to Mr. Mac. It was a little sad, but I think it definitely got the boys, especially those who have been here for a while motivated to get the win for him. Mr. Mac would have loved tonights game, everyone (aside from Preds fans I’m sure) left happy. Hitch described the game best when he said:
“It felt bizarre. It was entertaining as hell and wildly exciting and that’s probably what it’s going to be for a little while - a few more like this and they are going to put us in the loony bin. It’s exciting. We’re never going to be out of a game with this team.”

Three games in, let’s talk about it…

The Blue Jackets have now played three games and are getting ready to open up at home tomorrow night, against the Nashville Predators. Let’s talk about the things that are working for the Blue Jackets.
The “goat” line, I am a huge fan of that name for the record. Chimera, Brassard, and Voracek are absolutely tearing it up for the Blue Jackets, that line is working, and they look great together. Brassard has two goals and one assist and is a plus-3. Chimera is leading the team in assists, and is a plus-2, and Voracek has a goal and an assist and is a plus-1.
Rick Nash has taken it upon himself to carry the team, the only problem is he can’t score. He has had four breakaways and has been unable to capitalize on them. Knowing Nash and how his goals tend to come in spirts, He has scored one goal, and has sixteen shots on goal. Against San Jose the Nash, Umberger, and Huselius line had 19 shots, the team as a whole had 33. They are bound to get hot and start scoring.

Brassard on the top line?

This came as a bit of a shock to me yesterday, and I couldn’t wait to blog about it. Rookie, Derick Brassard, was centering a line with Nash on his left wing, and Huselius on his right. It was thought going into camp that Umberger would be centering the top line, but for now, they are trying this out. I like it a lot. Umberger is more of a second line center, Brassard has the talent to be a number one center, but it just depends on how he is developed, and we certainly don’t want to rush that like we did with Brule.
I think Brassard was pretty excited to be given the opportunity to play with those two. After one sequence the packed Ice Haus gave Nash, Brassard, and Huselius a round of applause. I wish I could have been there.
