But Peca, a Blue Jackets center and alternate captain who will return for a game Friday against the New York Rangers in Nationwide Arena, still is simmering.
"I can't hold bitterness anymore," Peca said. "I still feel like five games is an unfair amount of games. But if I put myself in the commissioner's position, obviously he wants to make sure his officials are looking at him as though they're protected by him and the league.

those are some of the best tickets in the house imo. i sometimes prefer sitting on the second level, gives a better all around view of the rink, can follow the play easier, watch the goal develop. tonight should be an exciting game, hopefully we can hang in there and go blow for blow with a good team like the rangers. enjoy the game

Yes. I'm pumped for this game. Haven't been to a game in a long time.. I also prefer the upper bowl, especially at center ice. Really can't beat it.
