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.

Trades, Planes, and Injuries…

The Jackets ran into a hot Canuck team last night.  It also didn’t help that the Jackets seemed like they didn’t care one bit about the game.

Thankfully the Jackets remain in sixth place in the Western Conference with another big game coming up tomorrow against the LA Kings.

The real story though, the trade deadline.

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.

Letting him rest…

Time to let the kid rest.  It was obvious against Dallas, and it was obvious against the Blues last night, Steve Mason needs to rest!!  Thankfully, Hitchcock got the message and on Friday, in Pittsburgh, Dubie gets his first start as a Blue Jacket.

Let’s talk about the game.  We hit a lot of posts - but that is no excuse for the way we played.  Not saying anything bad about a team that is able to play a pretty style of hockey, but we aren’t that team.  We don’t win hockey games with that.  We win by outworking the other team and playing a “weighty” game.

Big-D is in Town

Live blogging the game tonight starting at 6:45!!  Come join in the madness. 

Notes for the game tonight:

Mason vs Turco in net.

Commodore isn’t angry with any of the Stars, which is kind of unfortunate considering his play when he is angry..

We are competing with the Stars for a playoff spot, even though Cat promised me the Stars playoff spot earlier in the season. 

Not, that I am mad that Mason is starting, but I want to see Dubie.

Live blog, below.

Dubie!

I’m busy for a day and look what happens.  In a move that I love, Scott Howson claimed goaltender Wade Dubielewicz off of waivers from the New York Islanders.  It was a gutsy move, but one we had to make.  We needed more goaltender depth desperately, Howson saw that, and did what was best for the organization.  If you want to make friends, an NHL General Manager is probably not the job you want.  I am sure that the Islanders aren’t pleased, but what can you do?

Is Dubie happy?  Probably not.

Am I?  Yes.
