Jackets 4 Ducks 0

Yea, you read that correctly. We shut out the former Stanley Cup champions in our home opener. It was amazing you couldn’t have asked for a better game. Ilya Bryzgalov was in net for the Ducks and Pascal Leclaire was in net for the Jackets. Leclaire proved to me he can be a good goalie…now he just needs to keep it up. Nash scored twice and got two assists on the night. Feds had a goal and an assist as did Ron Hainsey. The former Stanley Cup Champs couldn’t get their first shot on goal until 16 minutes into the game. We dominated the play and the Jackets earned this win. Shots on goal were 37 (CBJ) to 28 (ANA). It was an impressive win and we got to hear the cannon go off a total of 6 times. It was pretty sweet to say the least. While some people could say the Ducks are tired and not playing their best hockey…well I am going to have to agree with what Randy Carlyle said:
Asked if his team was tired after playing four games on two continents and in three arenas in less than a week, Ducks coach Randy Carlyle refused to take the easy way out. “Those are excuses,” he said. “That’s the way it goes. We didn’t have the energy that was necessary to compete at the level they played at.”
Wait…we’re talking about the Jackets right? The Columbus Blue Jackets? WOW. I guess the season is underway and well we play again tonight…vs Minnesota. My Prediction for the game tonight…Jackets 3 Wild 2. Keep up the great work. Check out quotes from the boys here. It’s going to be a good season.
Also, be sure to look out for my new site which will hopefully be up by Monday
