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.

Three in a row

Thankfully yours truly was at work, and then so sick, I just went straight home to bed, only watching one period of the game. By that point we were already down 3-0. Here’s my thoughts on what is going on with the Jackets. It’s nothing profound, but, it’s just my thought.
We got comfortable.

Sharks keep Rollin’

Wow. I can’t believe the way the Blue Jackets played last night. They were all over the Sharks in the first and if it hadn’t been for the great play of Nabokov, the Jackets would have been leading the game by more than just a goal. Here’s Sharks Coach Todd McLellan on Nabokov:
“He won us the game,” Sharks Coach Todd McLellan said of netminder Evgeni Nabokov. “He was easily the first, second and probably the third star of the night.”

Nikita Filatov is being recalled, and will be playing in the home opener on Friday!! This is HUGE news for Blue Jackets fans, and of course it doesn’t come without a cost. Jared Boll is out with a head and neck issues, I’m with Portzline when he says Boll hasn’t been right since the fight in Dallas.
Now, onto the game last night. We had a good night on the power play, we were able to score two goals, which is a great thing. HOWEVER, when your power play allows TWO short-handed goals you have a serious problem on your hand. Pascal Leclaire wasn’t as good as he should have been, but he can’t be blamed for all the goals. The Jackets were able to keep the penalties they took at a minimum, but that did not help.

Late Games Make Me Tired

The first meeting of Jody Shelley and his old club has come and gone, but we still enjoy seeing Jody. He still has quite the fanbase in Ohio. By the way, congrats Jody and Mandy Shelley!! They will be welcoming their first child into the world sometime around November 14th.
Michael Peca has his hearing on Thursday at 11 a.m. and according to Aaron Portzline who met with Rimmer between the first and second period, it is probably going to be reduced to a three game suspension, which is great news for the Blue Jackets. The final word will come on Thursday though, so let’s not get our hopes up just yet.
And, Machinehead is now retired…from Blue Jackets games at least. Hooray!! They are not revealing what the new song will be, but apparently the players had a say in it. I will let you know Friday what I hear!
Now, onto the game.

I had every intention of talking more about the Malarchuk and Peca situation, but with the death of Alexei Cherepanov it all seems so irrelevant. He was too young to die, and had so much ahead of him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and the New York Rangers organization.
On that horrible note, here’s what is going on in the world of the Blue Jackets.
