Commodore To Bust Out the Robe

It’s amazing how a little thing like your team making it to the Stanley Cup playoffs can change your attitude in a split second.
First thing I did when I woke up - grabbed the blackberry, and checked the standings, just to be sure that the little ‘x’ was there.
It was. I think I may have cried some more, but that doesn’t matter.
All that matters is that we’re in the playoffs, and Mike Commodore is going to debut his robe in the dressing room Saturday night.

If the Blue Jackets are able to get one point out of this game tonight, for the first time ever, the Columbus Blue Jackets will clinch a playoff spot.
The Blackhawks are coming off a big win in Nashville, but don’t expect them to come out and take it easy on us.
Just like the game on Sunday, we have to play our hardest, and we need to get two points, instead of just one.

What a weekened! Friday I packed up and headed down to Nashville to watch the Jackets take on the Preds.
While I was down there I got to meet up with What the Puck and Forechecker, and of course some of my favorite Jackets fans!
The game was great, the Jackets had a chance to win being up 3-1 but the Jackets were IN Nashville so the Preds tied it up and then scored a fourth goal. Thankfully Williams tied it up, but of course the Blue Jackets lost in a shootout.

Vermette gets the Winner

Well, now that win was nice. The Blackhawks were tired from their game last night against the New Jersey Devils and they still managed to get a point out of tonight.
The win tonight tied a franchise record for most points in a season. 80 points and they’re sitting nicely in sixth place in the Western Conference.
The Jackets are now 5-1 with Vermette in the lineup. He has had an immediate impact on the team, and has helped us in every situation.

At least we got a point

I apologize for this post taking so long to get up, but my computer decided to crap out on me yesterday afternoon, right when I started NaNoWriMo. But, I am back in action now thanks to the wonderful guy at the Genius Bar.
Anyway onto the game, the Blue Jackets lost to the Chicago Blackhawks last night in a shootout. No shocker there, whenever we go to a shootout I just expect to lose. We very rarely score, and I don’t know what the problem is. Well I know what the problem was tonight, we were facing a goalie who wanted to win. My mom insists it’s the speed that they go down, but I don’t agree. We have the skill, we just struggle on breakaways. I personally thought it was interesting that Rick Nash was put in on the shootout. He is 0-8 on breakaways this season, and is in a bit of a point slump, but what can you do. Here’s who I would have put in on the shootout, Brassard, Voracek, and Chimera…yup, the goat line.

Big win, with a huge loss

The Blue Jackets crushed the Rockford Icehogs Chicago Blackhawks last night. The Jackets scored seven goals on the Blackhawks newest number one goaltender, Cristobal Huet, while the Hawks only managed to score one against Pascal Leclaire. The night sounds pretty good doesn’t it? It wasn’t without its faults though, Raffi Torres decided to drop the gloves with Ben Eager. Torres went down and separated his shoulder, he is expected to be out six weeks. This is not good news for the Blue Jackets, although it does allow for one of our prospects to take his place, yes, including Filatov, who is able to play nine games before being sent down to the minors. But, before we get into that, let’s get into the game.
