red wings vs. blue jackets 2009 Stories - Winging It In Motown
fin
All things considered, that was probably the most fun I've ever had at a Jackets game, if only we won.... or even had a lead. I need to paint a picture. In the close of the second period we scored two huge goals to erase the Wings lead and tie the game at 5. I run out of my seat to get a got start...
Game Preview: Blue Jackets vs. Red Wings - Game 4
This is it. The Blue Jackets officially have nothing to lose. Let's keep it short and sweet. In order to win tonight, the Jackets need to do much of what they did on Tuesday -- except without any mistakes. Coach Hitchcock stressed that the second you make a mistake, Detroit puts the puck in the...
Wings/Jackets React to Game 3
Just thought I'd bring a little bit of the reactions from all over straight to you, along with a little analysis. Let's start with the man in charge in Columbus, Ken Hitchcock: "Our issue now is being discouraged. We're getting no reward for the work we've put in, and we have to learn to deal...
Lesson Number 3
I'd be lying if I'd say this game didn't play out the same as the other two up in Detroit. Wings score first, Wings build lead, Jackets stay in until we were down 3. We were more competitive tonight, but I use the word loosely. When Umberger gets leveled by a questionable hit (I haven't seen a...
Vermette gets his chance
When Antoine Vermette was acquired in a deadline deal with the Ottawa Senators, most assumed it was only a matter of time before he got a real shot on the top line with Rick Nash. It appears he'll get that shot in Game 3 tomorrow night against the Red Wings. Puck-rakers reports he took the ice for...
Beating Detroit
What will it take for the Blue Jackets to beat Detroit in Game 3? I'm interested to hear what others think is the best way to get a win on home ice this Tuesday. My initial thought is go with Nikita Filatov -- he's shown that scoring touch, even at the NHL level. He adds another threat to the...
Rough Ride in Detroit
This is why the Red Wings are the defending Stanley Cup champions. The Blue Jackets played a better game than in Game 1, but it wasn't nearly enough. In Game 1, you got the sense that after 30 minutes the team just wasn't sure what to do. Tonight, they tried to do some of the right things, but...
Awful Commericals, Great Hockey: Playoff musings, Day 2
Quick impressions from six hours of playoff hockey, Day 2: ... I'm "following" VersusNHL on Twitter, and they've had some helpful updates and highlights links. But why do they direct message me to tell me "The NHL is on Versus!"? First, it's in their name. Second, this is a hockey blog! ......
Wings Soar to Game 1 Victory
The Detroit Red Wings opened the 2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs much the same way they finished the regular season: flat and seemingly disinterested. But one thing was immediately different: the goaltending. Anchored by a 20 save performance from goaltender Chris Osgood, the Red Wings overcame a slew...
Well, We've Played in the Playoffs
We lost the game 4-1, as simple as that. The pregame festivities were crazy with Jackets fans around their bench. Being in the middle of that was one of best feelings, I've had as a Jackets fan. Most Wings fans were decent, a couple even swapped us seats, until the liquor started to flow....
