Filatov Called Up
By: Jeff Little • January 7th, 2009
The Hockey News is reporting that the CBJ have called up Nikita Filatov from Syracuse. Not sure what this signifies, if anything, with respect to the Nash injury, as I was hoping Filatov would have been available last night.
It will be nice to have him there against Washington. Let’s see what else is in store as the week moves on.
A native of the SF Bay Area, my first exposure to hockey was the SF/Oakland/California Golden Seals, including Charlie Finley and the white skates. Fast forward to the late 1980's when Gretzky and the Kings came up to the Bay Area for an exhibition game at the Oakland Coliseum Arena, for which we had glass seats. I was at the first San Jose Sharks game in the Cow Palace, and followed them for their first few pathetic years, before moving to Columbus in 1994. I attended the first pro-NHL rally downtown, and have been a season ticket holder since Day 1, wife & I are active in the Jacket Backers, and son is an avid fan as well. I cover the Jackets for Inside Hockey, and contribute regularly to a variety of hockey sites. I maintain contact with the Jackets organization, and like to dig into stories, bringing a fresh, and sometimes irreverent perspective to hockey.
