James Wisniewski came back from an 8 game suspension for his first game with the Jackets. A game where he didn't make any known sexually inappropriate hand gestures. Which, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that's a first.
Within the first minute of the first period RJ Umberger scored his first goal of the season. He is also the first guy from Pittsburgh who I have no problems rooting for.
Also in the first period our handsome little first round draft pick, Ryan Johansen, scored his first career goal. Since his goal broke the tie and the Red Wings didn't score again it became his first game winning goal. That boy must be tired from all the firsts he experienced in one night.
John Moore scored his first NHL goal in the second period. How great that must of felt to prove to the Jackets that he was worth the 1st round pick of the 2009 draft.
Towards the end of the third period Derek MacKenzie scored his first goal of the season on a Red Wings empty net. The first time an empty net approach ever worked in the Blue Jackets favor.
Thanks to goalie Allen York this was the first time all season that Steve Mason was able to take a moment and breathe during a game.
And Finally we must take a moment to thank someone who also helped the Blue Jackets out with the win. To them I have written this letter.
Dear Baby Howard,
Your daddy is a solid goalie and I feared him in the days leading up to this game. You should be proud of him. Right now, I must take this moment to thank you for pushing your way out of the womb at just the right time causing your daddy to miss the game. We all know daddies never want to miss their first born. You are one of my favorite firsts of the night.
sincerely,
elaine grace
Hopefully this night of beautiful firsts will be the beginning of a beautiful season.
I SCREAM
YOU SCREAM
WE ALL SCREAM FOR MEMORABLE FIRSTS!
