Moving right along

The Blue Jackets beat the St. Louis Blues last night to move up to sixth in the Western Conference. They played the game for 40 minutes and then the final period, as Hitch said, “Played the score.” They almost gave the Blues a point, but were able to pull it out, thanks to Steve Mason.
The third period was pathetic, we sat back and let the Blues score two goals to make it a one goal game. It was unacceptable, and one of the periods that make Hitchcock “hate coaching.”

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!

Rookie Nikita Filatov was all over the ice on Sunday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs. He scored the first goal of the game, and then ended up with the game winner in the shootout.
The Blue Jackets fell behind 4-2 in the third, and with less than three minutes left Jake Voracek and Jason Chimera scored fifteen seconds apart to tie the game up. Fredrik Norrena was in net for for the first two periods, then Dan LaCosta was called in for the third. He stopped a Jason Blake breakaway and was solid in the shootout stopping all the shots he faced.

The preseason is finally coming to an end. After the game tonight against the Toronto Maple Leafs, the roster will go from 31 to 23 players. It’s crazy to think that hockey season has snuck up on us so fast. Anyway, onto the game tonight, I am pretty sure it will be on the Leafs site but I will keep you posted.
The Maple Leafs are coming off of a tough loss last night to the Detroit Red Wings. Here’s their lineup for tonight:
