When's Berard leaving?! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 So I have lost any respect I had for Bryan Berard. The Columbus Dispatch reports Blueliner Bryan Berard could be the next to go. "Berard, reached by phone yesterday before the Blue Jackets flew to New York, stopped just short of requesting a trade while hinting that he's in Hitchcock's doghouse. "Hopefully, I'll get moved somewhere and play in the playoffs," Berard said. "I'm not playing as well
Forsberg vs. The Red Wings 1970-01-01 00:59:59 So, Forsberg
finally got his first point...well actually his first TWO points...yeah that's right Mr. Forsberg had an assist...and the GAME WINNING goal in over time. I only got to watch the 3rd period and over time and the occasional flip between channels to see what was going on. The first time I did my random flip I saw Chelios elbow Tootoo...and Mr. Tootoo for sure didn't forget about that Read more:Wings
So close yet so far.. 1970-01-01 00:59:59 So Ken Hitchcock coached his 800th NHL game tonight. I just can't even express how happy I am to have this man as the Blue Jackets coach. Next year is our year I'm just sure of it. The first period Adam Foote and Jordin Tootoo had a bit of a tussle. But, Foote being a very large and strong man was able to simply pin Tootoo against the boards. Nashville ended up getting a goal on the power
Excuse me... 1970-01-01 00:59:59 This hit on Chris Drury...I'm pretty sure was a clean hit. Neil doesn't get his elbow up...Drury has his head down...that's why he was so hurt. Head up Drury!! Ruff should have gotten the fine. You don't send your bruisers out on a line with men like Dany Heatley and Jason Spezza. You also don't tell those bruisers to "Go out and run em" sorry Lindy...you deserve the fine. So there ya go. Read more:Excuse
For my momma 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Here mom...this should make you happy! And, well me too...haha
I have an announcement to make 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Modin has been signed by Columbus to a 3 year 3.25 million per season contract. AND, Berard has been put on waivers haha...classic...although I'm sure we could have gotten something out of them.
Go Ducks Go! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Me, live blogging the Ducks
vs Sharks game?! Yup, my Jackets aren't playing tonight so I throw myself into the Versus world and blog the game that is on. Ilya Bryzgalov is in net for the Ducks and for the Sharks Evgeni Nabokov. Everytime I watch these two teams I'm amazed. Two very very different teams. The Ducks are a very defensive team, but they have some great young offensive players and
More trades... 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Well actually just one...AARON WARD went to the Boston BRUINS the New York Rangers acquisitions are still waiting to be announced.
TRADE DEADLINE DAY!! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Ok everyone I know I said I would do all of this when I got home tonight but I figure why not start now?
* DOMINIC MOORE went to the Minnesota WILD for a third round pick.
* BILL GUERIN was sent to the San Jose SHARKS for a first round pick and future considerations
* GEORGES LARAQUE was sent to the Pittsburgh PENGUINS for DAN CARCILLO and an eigth round pick
* TY CONKLIN went to the SABRES Read more:TRADE DEADLINE

Captain Canada to...the New York Islanders? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I was going to do a big post on all the trades of the day...but why bother since the only one anyone really cares about is the Ryan Smyth trade. I am in shock. Smyth is set to be a free agent at the end of this season. So he is going to the Islanders
...a team that as of right now is only a point out of the playoffs with some games in hand. I know people are saying this is a huge move on Lowe Read more:Captain

Ok so here is what I have to say looking back... 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I have gone back and fourth on this stupid Ryan Smyth trade. He is one of my best friends favorite player so I do have a certain amount of knowledge about him…and what he was to the Oilers and what he meant to that team. You saw last night the Oilers were lost without him…getting shut out at home to one of the worst teams in the NHL. So, here's what I now think about it.
Could it be that "
It's trade deadline day... 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Expect a post tonight on all the trades that went down this year...well maybe not all...but one's that I want to talk about!!
Enjoy this video of my beloved Jackets scoring TWO shorties!! Have a great day everyone...also if you want to be up to date on all the trades throughout the day....check out Spector's Hockey
I'm going to PHILLY!! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Hey so for my birthday me and a few of my friends are going to the Flyers on April 7th!!! I can't wait...anyway that's all...I REALLY should get back to work...
Woooo 2007-03-01 17:31:00 I got center ice...I'm pretty excited...I'll let everyone know how it goes...WOO
How much do I love Dion...but this is just hilarious.
Liveblogging the Battle of Alberta! 2007-03-03 22:36:00 So I will be liveblogging tonight...not the Columbus game although I do plan on doing a game recap afer I watch it. I am going to be liveblogging the Edmonton Oilers vs Calgary Flames. I have heard so much about this rivalry and I want to see what it is all about. So that's the plan for the night!

Just a random thought... 2007-03-03 16:51:00 So the trade deadline came and went but it still left me a bit confused especially after the Ryan Smyth trade…which I have already talked about. Anyway, here’s what I have been thinking about. What’s the difference between a fans love for the player/team and a players love for his fans? A fan, well a true fan, loves their team win or lose. They are there when they have been shut out 13 times Read more:thought

WE WIN IN A SHOOTOUT!!! 2007-03-03 05:05:00 So I decided since I just got my Center Ice thing that I would live blog the Columbus game…like I normally do but I wanted to watch it with the Dallas point of view. I am curious to see what is different. Also, if you are thinking about getting Center Ice but don’t know if you should or not…I have had it for a day and I LOVE it!!! You get every game out there. Me, living where I do, am really
The boys I cheer for... 2007-03-03 04:29:00 This was for hlog but I decided to put it up here also...
I have a ton of players that I like and would cheer for them even when they are playing against my Jackets.
1. Martin Brodeur...I just love him. He is so impressive to me not only the way he plays but also he is such a leader on that team. He just amazes me everytime I watch him play.
2. My Cincinnati Ducks boys...Joffrey Lupul,
Liveblogging is fun!! 2007-03-03 02:59:00 Yeah I will be liveblogging the game against Dallas tonight so I will keep you up to date!
Oh and GO JACKETS!! Read more:Liveblogging
Allow me to get in touch with my inner puckbunny... 2007-03-04 23:35:00 So the Cincinnati Cyclones (local ECHL team) are on a road trip...and boy do I miss em...come home soon boys!! Haha...this is a picture of them in San Fran. Read more:Allow

I heart Stortini 2007-03-04 06:17:00 Alright, here we go, me liveblogging the Battle of Alberta. Don Cherry has already pissed me off. Can’t anyone get this stupid old man to shut up?! My gosh. I’m pretty antsy to get this started. To be honest I am cheering for the Oilers…I want them to recover from this trade. Not trying to take anything away from Calgary they are a good team…and I understand that both of these teams need
Me going on about stuff...yup 2007-03-07 04:05:00 Well with my beloved Jackets not playing until tomorrow…I don’t have a lot to say. Tomorrow night we’re playing the LA Kings and I think we should do alright against them. Because, well let’s face it they suck….and not only do they suck…they suck worse than us…so that’s always a good sign. The Jackets really need this win tomorrow night. We’re trying to get some consistency going at the end Read more:stuff
Jackets win!! 2007-03-08 06:20:00 Well we won in OT...and Geoff Platt got his first career goal. I love these guys. Alright, I'm going to sleep...goodnight!! David Vyborny got the game winner in OT. I promise I will write more tomorrow.... Read more:Jackets
Clarkie... 2007-03-07 15:00:00 I stole this from Alanah but I just had to get it up on my page it's one of the funniest things I have seen in a while!
I try so hard... 2007-03-11 05:29:00 I try really hard to be supportive of my boys and ya know what...it's time to call them out. The past 2 games Norrena has stood on his head for these guys. And, well we just haven't gotten the offense. The goalies job is to give the other players a chance to win. There is no reason why we can't score 3 or 4 goals in a night. People need to stand up and it's like Hitch always says "Our best
Hey all! 2007-03-11 02:25:00 I was going to do a blog last night...but the hotel didn't have good internet...well any internet really...it was weird...anyway I'm going to blog about the game last night against Dallas and then the game tonight against Nashville...I would live blog but it's a little too intense. Alright!
***AND, to all the Preds fans...who go (insert goalie name here) you suck....I hate you***
My take on the call ups... 2007-03-11 19:44:00 I mean seriously...Zenon Konopka is one of my favorites...alongside of Curtis Glencross. Both of these guys are great players. They played in Cincinnati and so I have watched them for about 3 years now. Anyway, I am hoping that they do make the team next year. After being acquired from Anaheim, Konopka played in 6 games with CBJ, and registered 20 penalty minutes. In the AHL he is a +20...
Chris Simon Suspension 2007-03-11 18:45:00 Chris Simon
was suspended for 25 games today and he is forfeiting $80,000 in pay. I feel like this is a good suspension...and about time Colin Campbell did something other than a 3 game suspension. Hopefully it will set a president for these other guys. I do know that Chris Simon
did release a statement and apologized for the incident. Anyway for those of you who haven't seen the incident. Read more:Chris
I'm sick... 2007-03-13 00:25:00 And when I say sick I mean absolutely miserable...sick...so I probably won't be blogging for a while...so...yup.
