Two Trades

That’s all the Blue Jackets did today, was two trades. They didn’t make a huge slash, but they did get a very good player in Vermette.
During Howson’s press conference he said that Vermette is someone that the Blue Jackets have been after for a while.
I love this move. Pascal Leclaire, while an outstanding goaltender is injury prone. Unfortunately for Pazzy he hasn’t been healthy while in Columbus. He won’t be able to play this season, but next season he will be great for the Senators. He sounded so excited to be going to Canada in his interview with TSN.

Leclaire to IR, LaCosta up

Does this injury really impact us that much? Let’s be real here. Steve Mason has taken over the net in Columbus and it doesn’t look like that is going to change at any point anytime soon. The thing that makes me the most upset is that Norrena could in theory still be up here, and could play the role of backup.

Injures get me down…

What do you do when your team keeps taking injury hits?
Well, if your me, you feel sorry for yourself…really sorry for yourself.
I know I shouldn’t and I was doing well for a while but after the loss to the Blues, I just want to feel bad. Nothing like self pity I guess.

Kicking all the way…

Okay after being emotionally drained from that game last night, I think I am alright now to talk about it.
First of all, Leclaire should have been better. Had he been better, we never would have been in the position to get the goal called off in the first place.
Second of all, the fights, were too much. Brassard never should have dropped them, and now we are without him for a month? Wow, that’s a huge blow. Not to mention Boll and Commodore dropping the gloves.

Jackets Lose in Final Minutes…Again

For the second game in a row the Jackets proved that they can’t finish a game. Tonight, the issue was, among other things the goaltending. Leclaire let in some bad goals, he was not at his best, he didn’t make the saves he should have. With that being said, the Jackets have got to work on their aim. I don’t know how many chances Torres, Huselius, and Nash had tonight but they couldn’t put the puck in the back of the net.

Moving on.

Are we to the point now that we make some moves?
I think after tonight’s performance, it’s pretty clear that we need help (who didn’t know that before?).
The defense was invisible, at best. Leclaire didn’t get the help he needed.

Caution, emotional post ahead.
Seriously? Letting in three goals on eight shots is totally ridiculous.
Not scoring on the power play is even more ridiculous. Okay, so Nash got a power play goal, I wrote that before.
Scoring your first goal on the 29th shot, is more ridiculous.
Losing to a team that played the night before, including their goaltender, makes me mad.

Hey, we can score goals too!

I love when we win. It makes writing about the game a lot easier. So, let’s talk about the players. Starting with of course goaltender, Pascal Leclaire. Leclaire was great coming off of his injury. He made 36 saves on 37 shots and really kept the Jackets in the game. The only goal he let in was on a 5 on 3. Leclaire showed us, again, why he should be the number one goalie, but, the problem is his health. Let’s hope he can stay healthy the rest of this season.

Pazzy to IR, Russell down, and Boll back!

Goodness, the Jackets have been busy. Dan LaCosta has been called up, and that means Pazzy is out. He is getting an MRI to see what is going on with the ankle, he keeps hurting it over and over again. Leclaire has been moved to the injured reserve, so he is out for at least the next three games. Steve Mason better prepare himself, because he’s going to be up here soon if this keeps happening. Kris Russell has been sent to Syracuse also. He wasn’t playing up here, and it’s better he play then sit in the press box. Here is Howson on the decision to move him down.
“It’s never great for a young player not to play,” Howson said. “We told him it’s a temporary stay. Go have fun playing hockey.”
He will be playing games on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday and will then hopefully be recalled to the Jackets. Again though, you never know.

Pazzy Injured and a Loss
by Bethany on 10/26/08 at 10:48 AM ET

Pascal Leclaire was injured in the first period and left with 14:33 remaining in the second, due to an apparent ankle sprain. It’s going to be looked at again today, and his status is unknown for tomorrow’s game against the Anaheim Ducks is unknown. If Leclaire is out expect LaCosta to come back up, and Norrena to get the start on Tuesday.
Anyway, onto the game. The Blue Jackets took three penalties in the first period and were able to kill them all off, unfortunately for the Blue Jackets, they let in a goal towards the end of the first period. It’s never a good thing when you give up a goal in the last minute of a period. The Minnesota Wild stayed perfect on the penalty kill last night. Of course they only took two penalties, but man in six games they have not allowed one power play goal, that is impressive.

Victory against the Wild!

Wow, what an amazing game! Okay, so maybe it wasn’t the most exciting first period, but it was great to see our team working as a team. Here are some random tidbits from the game.
I said this before, Pazzy sprained an ankle when Boogaard went into the net. Hitchcock said in his post game that Pazzy could have finished the game, but they put Norrena in just to be safe. Umberger took a slash to the finger, he will be back practicing with the team on Tuesday. Leclaire will be back practicing with the team also Tuesday. Hitch also said that the team will be back to 100% aside from Torres come Tuesday. Boll did have an ice pack on his hand in the locker room after the game, I don’t know what is going on with him and, I am sure we will be updated today.
