A sweep, a sweep!

My favorite part of the season so far? Sweeping the season series against the Avs. Why you may ask? Foote is actually the last of the reasons. One, the Avs have been like that mean older brother who continually beat you. We just couldn’t solve them…until Hitchcock came around, and we got rid of old Footer. Second, this is a team we needed to beat, and losing all the games against the Coyotes we had to sweep someone and we just got lucky that it was someone who we hate as much as we hate the Avs.

Tonight the Blue Jackets have the opportunity to sweep the season series against the Avs. It can be done. The Avs are battered, and without the services of their captain, Sakic.
We have to play smart hockey. We have to play the same way we did against the Sharks.
Dan LaCosta in nets, and there may be some scratches, due to the flu which is making it’s way through everyone apparently. Methot has been hit hard and according to Puck-Rakers has lost six pounds.

Avs are in Town

Tomorrow night is the night when the Colorado Avalanche come to Columbus. One man who won’t be on the ice for the Avs - Adam Foote, will still likely be the talk of the town. In fact, he’s been the talk for almost a year now. You see, Foote left us, five points out of a playoff spot, and apparently, Terry Frei, thinks that even though he left, we still received draft picks, so we shouldn’t be bitter. Here’s what he said:
The funny thing is, Columbus ended up getting first- and fourth-round draft choices for Foote, now 37. That’s a great deal for the Blue Jackets - one that looks more as if the Jackets made it from a position of strength, not backed-into-a-corner weakness.

Four in a Row!

The new Columbus Blue Jackets apparently don’t care about the fact that The Pepsi Center is not always kind to us. The Jackets went into the game struggling, and then once Steve Mason’s franchise record shutout streak was broken, something clicked, they got mad, and they took over. They dominated the play and ended up rolling to a 6-1 victory. Goals were scored by Commodore, Umberger, Voracek, Nash on the penalty shot, and Huselius with two.

It was so weird being out of the Blue Jackets loop for two days, and covering two teams, that are our biggest rivals. It made me realize a few things. First, I love the Columbus Blue Jackets, don’t get me wrong, I had an amazing two days, probably the best two days I have ever had, but watching them made me realize the Blue Jackets are my team. Second, I love seeing Steve Mason in net, and missing the Ducks game, was killer for me. I had some great friends who kept me updated on what was going on, but still I missed seeing my rookie goaltender post his third shutout. And, third, Chicago taxi drivers are on a mission to give you a heart attack.

Victory!

Victory. Sometimes, you just need to score some goals, get awesome goaltending, and well have a Calder Trophy candidate (or two) on your team, and you get…A WIN! Fredrik Norrena had a great night, stopping 30 of 32 shots. Brassard, Chimera, Murray, and Hejda all scored last night. Hejda scored his first goal in 115 games, and yes, it was his second goal in the NHL. Here’s the best quote of the night from Jan Hejda:
“It’s hard to for me to say which of my two goals was more beautiful.”
