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.
This win is another big one for us. The Jackets are in 9th place in the Western Conference, we lose out in a tie-breaker with Minnesota due to games played.
But what can you say for us?
Steve Mason was a force stopping 32 of 34 shots. Apparently there was a beauty of a save on Zetterberg in the remaining moments of the game.
Jason Williams, a stud since coming to Columbus, scored the game-winner. I’m a fan, this guy is a definite keeper, and for sure worth the price. Here’s Williams on his goal.
“It’s always nice to score against your former team. For that to be the game-winner, that’s a little icing on the cake I guess. But that was a good, solid effort by everybody. Our penalty killing did a great job. Mason made some huge saves at the end of the game. Every point is crucial right now and I think we showed tonight that we were hungry.”
Lidstrom played over 27 minutes, I don’t understand how he does it. He’s one of my favorite defensemen in the league, that’s for sure.
Jake Voracek was on a line with Jason Chimera and Jason Williams he had helpers on both of their goals.
The Jackets have to get back to work tonight in Carolina where they are taking on the Hurricanes. It’s Commodore’s first return to the Canes since becoming a Blue Jacket.
We have to get this win. It’s not really an option, but to tell you the truth I’m not a bit worried about it. No word yet on who is in net. But, do we really need word, we know that Mason is going to be in there.
Here’s Hitchcock’s presser.
