Welcome back Dorsett

Rusty Klesla has been placed on IR. He apparently is going to be out for at least two weeks. With Rusty on IR it opened up a spot for Derek Dorsett to be called up. I think this is a great move. I didn’t want Dorsett to be sent down in the first place, and now that he is up, I don’t expect him to go down. Dorsett adds toughness, something you’d think we would have with Ole-Kristian Tollefsen and Jared Boll.
Dorsett is a guy who gave it all every shift. He’s a great addition and I am really glad to have him back in Columbus.
With Pascal Leclaire’s uh…performance on Tuesday he’s a no go for Saturday against the Thrashers. Mason will be in net. On Hitch’s show he apparently called Pazzy “soft” so now I do kind of wonder if Leclaire will sit in the press box on Saturday. Highly unlikely but I think it’s possible. At some point Norrena needs to play, and a decision needs to be made on these goaltenders.
Here are the lines that the boys practiced today:
F1: Kristian Huselius—Derick Brassard—Rick Nash
F2: Jason Chimera—R.J. Umberger—Fredrik Modin
F3: Raffi Torres—Michael Peca—Jared Boll/Derek Dorsett
F4: Andrew Murray—Manny Malhotra—Jiri Novotny/Jake Voracek
I do NOT like Voracek on the fourth line, and I am not happy that the goat line is not together. They were the most consistant line we had.
Also, a Dispatch reader apparently brought up the negativity that is the Dispatch’s coverage of the Blue Jackets. I don’t agree, Aaron Portzline and Michael Arace are two of my favorite writers, not just because they’re my teams writers, but because they are great writers. They’re people that I look up to, and that I hope I can write as well as they can someday. Tom Reed is still new to me, and while I do feel like sometimes he is negative, it isn’t all the time. The negative things he says, are true, most of the time. I do still appreciate his writing, and his coverage of the team, even if I don’t agree with it.
What do you guys think about the coverage on the Dispatch?
