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 [...]

World Juniors Update
After Canada prevailed over the USA, 7 – 4, in their highly anticipated battle to end pool play, they enjoy a bye into the semis, as does Sweden, who had a surprisingly easy time in beating Russia 5 – 0. Today, the US takes on Slovakia for the right to go against Sweden, while Canada [...]

Take your No Doz, get that Triple Venti Cappuccino working and stay up to watch the CBJ tussle with the Los Angeles Kings again tonight, with the puck dropping at 10:30 pm EST. Both the Jackets and Steve Mason will be looking for some revenge, as both games to date have ended with LA on [...]

My brief Christmas wishes: Let the CBJ find some goals, healthy players and maybe a new center under their tree. May the NHL Toronto War Room find some new prescription glasses in their stockings. May Hitchcock find lots of competitive composure and heavy games in his pile of presents. Finally, here is hoping that all [...]

Well, the CBJ gave us a turkey a week late. I suppose they were due for a bad game, but this one had no redeeming social value. My takeaways from the game:What Jump?? First 10 minutes of the game were played in slow motion. We just came off a big effort against the best team [...]

The Jackets foray into the depths of Silicon Valley to tangle with the Sharks, who have been other-worldly so far this season, particularly at home. 21-3 -1 overall, 13-0-1 at home. The lone blemish being an OTL to Nashville. So, why should we not just abandon all hope and fly directly to L.A.? Several reasons: [...]

As the season progresses, keep 9:34 PM EST on November 29 in the back of your mind. That was the time that the CBJ closed out a magnificent 3 -0 victory over the Washington Capitals, but more importantly, it signified several important milestones:1. A Complete Effort — 60 minutes of hard charging, smart, tough hockey. [...]

Our local scribes are at it again. Today’s CBJ coverage proclaims in the subhead that “Bluejackets tie it three times . . .” Very nice, except it’s WRONG! Voracek scored first, Detroit then tied it, went ahead on their second PP goal, we tied it with Tyutin’s first, they went back ahead with the awful [...]

Seeing that Scott Cullen at TSN had downgraded the CBJ from 16 to 22 in the latest power rankings, I took the opportunity to email my disagreement, noting that the CBJ had dismantled Buffalo (#17) on the road, and had the same record, had beaten every Candadian team they had played ( with the exception [...]

Heartbreaking game tonight — another great effort goes for naught. The ice was definitely tilted in the CBJ’s favor all night long, time of possession, faceoffs, hits, shots on goal, you name it. Penalty kill was tremendous. Though Phoenix technically got a PP goal, it was a weak lobber that looked like it caromed off [...]
