I hope someone beats the fuck out of Mike Knuble.

Wouldn't be surprised if Brassard has a broken finger.

Garon is in net? What the fuck? I hope there's a reason for this.

EDIT: Brass is fine.

Damn...tibor hits the hockey thread

Seriously dude, a chill pill might be in order. We've all suffered through some positively awful play the past 10 years or whatever it's been...the fact this team has a chance to win virtually every game going in is a lovely step in the right direction for me.

:p



Half the crowd were Pens fans, so the half for the CBJ must have been REALLY whiny to be whiniest ever.

I know, I know...but it's FUCKING PITTSBURGH





In all seriousness, if they can't stop the 3rd period meltdowns, a lot of promise is going to turn into a long season really, really fast.

RAFFI TORRES TIES IT!!!!

What a pass by Brassard. 22 seconds left, Jackets had an empty net. Clutch Torres. Has he ever scored a goal that didn't tie or win a game?

EDIT: I hope I didn't just see Dave Steckel try to kick Pahlsson..

Mason has been struggling a bit...maybe just a changeup? They do have back-to-back games coming up.

good job to salvage at least a point out of that 3rd period travesty

2 would be nice though

Definitely...I'd be happy with one at a tough place like Washington in the grand scheme, but we let a point get away against Pittsburgh, so we could really use it now.

He's looked about as good as he could tonight, given the defense in front of him. I also don't think you pull your young goalie during the most important time of the game. Confidence = gone.

He's back in. So there must have been something going on.

Interference on Washington

lets get it done

 

[buckeyemania11]

Jackets Win!

Umberger, nice pass from Nash

 

[Bucklion]

GGGGGOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

Nice, that makes up for the SO loss the other night.

 

[3074326]

Nash feeds Umberger to win it in overtime on the PP.

Nash is a beast in the offensive zone. I said before the season that he'd have 100 points. Looks like he might do it (it's early, I know).

The goalie change just bought the team a minute to catch their breath since the timeout was already used in the 2nd period. Hitch pushing the envelope.

actually like 30 seconds, for each of the two changes. old school hockey move...



also of note:

Beer Is Good (Puck-rakers)

Rick Nash, Jared Boll, Kris Russell and Marc Methot will continue their training for a second career tonight ... you know, if this hockey thing doesn't work out.
Tonight, those four Blue Jackets players will bartend at the R-Bar in the Arena District, one of the finest hockey watering holes in all of North America. They'll be twisting caps from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the annual Celebrity Bartending event.
All proceeds go to the Blue Jackets Foundation.
Odd thought here, as I didn't sleep much last night. Which beer best matches each player?
-- Rick Nash = Killian's Irish Red (bold, understated and you know you've been hit the next morning)
-- Jared Boll = Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull (no explanation needed)
-- Kris Russell = Red Stripe (a good beer in a diminutive bottle)
-- Marc Methot = Pabst Blue Ribbon (underpriced, underappreciated)
I look forward to your "player = beer" thoughts. Don't stop with these four, either, go for the whole roster.

7-8 rbar nash, boller, russ and methot will sling beers for charity at the rbar. (its down by the arena below the arena crossing apartments)

 

[3074326]

I want to make a joke about Methot being out of position at the bar or giving the beer to the wrong person, but I won't.

trust me, no way rbar would allow backman to do that, he had way to many give aways!
