Slow Start for the BJs

Right now there is as running joke with some of my friends that I am the reason why the Blue Jackets have yet to win a game this season. They claim my lack of blogging and abandonment of this blog has been a jinx for the team. So in an effort to prove them wrong I'll be blogging yet again.

When you look at the roster you've got Nash, Vermette, Umberger, Carter, Prospal, Wisniewski, and Mason. I get all giddy and giggly when I see those names on one team. They SHOULD be lighting it up. They aren't. In fact they have yet to win a game this season. To make it even worse they lost in a shootout to the AVS. THE AVS!!


Blue Jackets get your shit together and prove my friends right that I am a jinx for not blogging.

I SCREAM

YOU SCREAM 

WE ALL SCREAM FOR A HOPEFULLY BETTER SEASON... please

THE SCHEDULE OF BJs IS FINALLY POSTED!!!!!

Since the posts I saved refuse to post I'm just going to pretend I took a little summer vacation. Teachers get one, why can't I?

 Hello everyone I am back and what a great day to be back.

Today the NHL Schedule was released. I have been obsessing about this day since Canucks fans burnt their city down. The schedule shows us that hockey season is just around the corner. It gives me something to mark off on my calender everyday. It gives me something to live for this summer. 106 more days until the regular season begins.106 more days until cold arenas and beer. 106 more days until parties in the sin bin. 106 more days until I stop hanging out with my friends because they don't understand the joy of hockey.

Lets quickly go over the "must see" games of the first three months.

• The home opener on October 7th vs the Preds. It looks as though we have a chance to start the year off with a bang. Literally and figuratively. My cannon jokes are lame but I will get there eventually. 
• On october 10th we should all watch the game from home just in case Canucks fans get a little rowdy and burn columbus down. If this happens please save BD MONGOLIANS. All you can eat stir fry deserves to be saved.
• When the Winnipeg *insert nickname here* rolls into town on November 12th I expect to see a full house. I will be severely disappointed if I roll up to Nationwide Arena and only see fans from Canada. Fans of Columbus this is a big deal. Seeing this game will help you decide the "likeability" factor of this new franchise. Plus, who doesn't want to see Dustin Byfuglien play on a team located in what could be the whitest city in the world. 
• Finally, December 18th, brings in our rivals. The St. Louis Blows Blues. Lets bring on the parties in the sin bin. I'm talking to you Mr. Boll and Mr. Dorsett. Bring on the pain and party. Just don't "Burrow" someone in the neck or "Bertuzzi" a player. 

 

I scream

You scream

We all scream for an exciting year of BJ action!

THE EMPTY NET HEART ATTACK: a semi review of the Blue Jackets: 0 vs Stars: 3

When I watch a hockey game there are TWO things I pray I won't see.

1. A skate to the carotid artery
2. An empty net

After watching the highlights from the game last night I am SO GLAD I couldn't watch the game.

Within the first five minutes of the game Dallas attacked the net and scored on a power play. That's fine. That kind of thing  happens. Even to Stanley Cup Champions.

For the rest of the game the Jackets fought back like their lives depended on it. Like they were fighting for that last playoff spot. A play-off spot that is so far out of reach at this point in the season for them.

Then there was the third period. Oh the third period. With a minute left in the period the Jackets pulled their goalie. My heart dropped and for forty five seconds I did not breathe. Dallas scored two goals in 45 seconds. TWO!
They tried, you can tell they tried. Dallas just out skated and out shot them in those 45seconds.


STARS:

1. Lehtonen : He was on point last night. Protecting the net like a cobra protecting it's eggs.
2. Richards : first goal of the game. You've got to give it to him. Out of all the goals that night his was the only one that got past a goalie.... just saying.
3. Blue Jackets: They played with heart and NEVER gave up. At least that's what the highlight reel showed me.




After Saturdays game against the Sabres the Jackets season will be over. At least I know they are going to fight to the death for the rest of their season. At least they will give their all and do it for the fans, that much is obvious.

So thank you for that BUT please, PLEASE,  no more empty nets. My heart just can't take it.
