jackets got their heads handed to them that period...

True, but we have to remember that Marty Turco is still Marty Turco, get some pressure on him and all sorts of soft goals go in on him :lol:

I don't know why he seems to be considered an "elite" goalie. He beats bad teams, goes about .500 with teams who are about even with Dallas, he OWNS San Jose, but can't usually beat Detroit or Colorado.....figure that one out....

Great game. Love seeing Nash bury that one in overtime. Hope they have some left in the tank for Phoenix tomorrow night (tonight????).

LOVED IT! I got pretty loud when he made that shot in, from what seemed like the blue line! HAHAHA So glad it's hockey season!

Blue Jackets forward Rick Nash, center, celebrates with teammates Derick Brassard, left, and Rostislav Klesla after scoring the winning goal on a wrist shot from the top of the circles in the final minute of overtime.




DALLAS -- That the Blue Jackets were in last night's game in the first place was hard to believe.
That they beat the Dallas Stars with 20.6 seconds left in overtime was even harder to fathom.
Rick Nash -- who else, right? -- scored on a wrist shot from the top of the circles to give the Blue Jackets a 5-4 season-opening victory.
"It's a huge win," Nash said. "We showed a lot of character. In saying that, we made a lot of mistakes. There's a lot of things we can do better. A lot of us were playing together for the first time, but we leave here with two points. That's huge."

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH


DALLAS -- The Blue Jackets were the visiting club for the Dallas Stars' home opener last night, and they'll play the same role for the Phoenix Coyotes tonight.
But rather than view themselves as sacrificial lambs, the Blue Jackets emphasize coming out like lions.

Great Blue Jacket game. I was watching the Red Sox game... It was 2-2, then all of sudden it was 4-2 when I turned back 5 mins later. And then with 5 min left in the game I felt good... and then 4-4. I think I'll buy Center Ice, so I can follow the Jackets all season. I'm really going to enjoy Commadore.
