Wow. That’s all I can say after the home opener against the Nashville Predators. But, before I get into the game, I have to thank Alanah for posting about Peca’s suspension for me (I will have more on it tomorrow), while I was away. I really appreciate it.
The game started off great, with an amazing tribute to Mr. Mac. It was a little sad, but I think it definitely got the boys, especially those who have been here for a while motivated to get the win for him. Mr. Mac would have loved tonights game, everyone (aside from Preds fans I’m sure) left happy. Hitch described the game best when he said:
“It felt bizarre. It was entertaining as hell and wildly exciting and that’s probably what it’s going to be for a little while - a few more like this and they are going to put us in the loony bin. It’s exciting. We’re never going to be out of a game with this team.”

The Blue Jackets have now played three games and are getting ready to open up at home tomorrow night, against the Nashville Predators. Let’s talk about the things that are working for the Blue Jackets.
The “goat” line, I am a huge fan of that name for the record. Chimera, Brassard, and Voracek are absolutely tearing it up for the Blue Jackets, that line is working, and they look great together. Brassard has two goals and one assist and is a plus-3. Chimera is leading the team in assists, and is a plus-2, and Voracek has a goal and an assist and is a plus-1.
Rick Nash has taken it upon himself to carry the team, the only problem is he can’t score. He has had four breakaways and has been unable to capitalize on them. Knowing Nash and how his goals tend to come in spirts, He has scored one goal, and has sixteen shots on goal. Against San Jose the Nash, Umberger, and Huselius line had 19 shots, the team as a whole had 33. They are bound to get hot and start scoring.

This is funny....Jordan Tootoo, when you click on it, it’s been changed to Jordin, but it gave me a good laugh.

The Nashville Predators beat the Columbus Blue Jackets last night. The final score of 3-1 Preds doesn’t do a lot of justice to what actually happened in the game. The Jackets dressed one of their top six forwards, RJ Umberger, and we didn’t dress any of our top four defensemen. Two of the three Predators goals were scored on the power play. It was a tough night for the Jackets as Tootoo seemed to get under the skin of everyone. He did his job extremely well last night. He never dropped the gloves, on order from Barry Trotz, who said:
``It was a physical game and obviously they’ve been targeting Jordin the last two nights,’’ Trotz said. ``I basically put the no-fighting (restriction) on Jordin. There’s no sense fighting some guy that will not be in the league.’’
He was talking about Jon “Nasty” Mirasty. I’m sure there are a couple of regulars who wouldn’t have mind to throw down with him, Boll if his arm wasn’t still on the mend and Tollefson who already had one fight under his belt. However, October 17th will be here soon enough, and Tootoo will be against a lineup of Jackets who won’t mind dropping the gloves.

The Blue Jackets are playing the Nashville Predators tonight at home. It’s the preseason home opener and the Blue Jackets are bringing out the big players for this game. The Predators rivalry is an interesting one to say the least. We only beat the Predators ONCE last season, and the season before that, we never beat them. No one is okay with this, and that’s why, this is our lineup for tonight:
