from Dave Waddell of the Windsor Star,
Though it’s a team game, Rick Nash knows if he doesn’t win his personal battle the war we’ll be lost for his Columbus Blue Jackets.
For within the Jackets playoff series against the Detroit Red Wings, there is going to be the game within the game.
“It is quite different,” said Nash of lining up against the same guy for potentially seven straight games.
“Little rivalries start even if there already is one.
“You’re playing each other every other night pretty much. Guys start battling one another. “Guys start remembering what you did in the last game. It’s going to be fun and be tough.”
In Detroit’s 4-1 victory Thursday, round one of the battle went convincingly to the Wings as they held Nash to four harmless shots and kept him to the perimeter.
