PrintSt. Louis Blues at Columbus Blue Jackets, Nov 27, 2011 6:00 PM EST
No big news out of today's morning skate other than Steve Mason coming in to back up Curtis Sanford, and Allen York being send back to Springfield.
We're about to have a clash of irresistible forces and immovable objects - the Blues, who have been riding a hot streak all month, vs. Curtis Sanford and his 1.00 GAA on home ice this season. With all the stories involved in tonight's matchup, you have to think that a lot of guys will have their juices flowing, and who knows what could happen?
R.J. Umberger has had quite a bit of success against St. Louis. Rick Nash and David Backes seem to have a constant battle when they meet up on the ice. Ryan Reaves and Jared Boll seem quite likely to renew hostilities. And just what impact will Jeff Carter and James Wisniewski have on this matchup?
If you're not at the game, stop here to keep an eye on the game, and we'll see what shakes out tonight down at Nationwide...

Late update: Brass out, Bass in. Johnson still scratched.

I miss seeing Johnson out there. As for Brass… I have never seen him look so lost out there. I don’t feel he is a grinding enough player to be on a third/fourth line, though. Perhaps he’ll be traded.
Adam Foote still blows!
Re: Brass
@LoriSchmidt: I don’t know if he’s implying something’s up or just questioning the decision, but Brassard’s agent is tweeting about Brass being scratched.
Referencing
@walsha: Derick Brassard of Columbus has 12 pts in 12 career games vs. St. Louis, healthy scratch today. Hmm.
Mr. Walsh is very chatty about his players and gets very supportive/defensive about them. It’s hard for me to read too much into his motives besides just making them look better.

Two big things separating us and the blues after one. Our passes have been god awful this period. Not sure if ice is bad or what but we are getting out passes. Second, we are losing too many battles. Been sloppy in the d zone so need to win the battles and we aren’t getting it done.
Overall, pretty disappointing period IMO for both teams. I expected a higher intensity but we will have I see if it picks up

OK, here we go with the second period!

Jackets going to the PP – St. Louis dinged for too many men on the ice.

I hate world series of poker.
I was looking forward to recording and then watching the game tonight…but once again. Time Warner Cable an/or Fox Sports Ohio thinks that I would rather watch some other program than hockey. %$#@&
Anyway. go jackets!. I guess I’ll have to read the highlights later on the cannon.
DEREK DORSETT! On a FREAKING BREAKAWAY! SCORES!

Seriously, that’s, what, the fifth or sixth odd man situation he’s had? Nice to see him cash in.

Man, St. Louis is not so good about staying on the PP…then going offside on the 4 on 4. Smooth!

Wow, so that was a little ugly but thank god T.J. Oshie forgot how to play hockey.

OK, Jackets on the PK to end the period with Carter in the box for a hook…

Well, that’s appropriate. Kris Russell scores 4 on 4

7 seconds left, Sanford gave up a rough rebound – almost looked like the play was offside, but oh, well.

It was offside, props to game ops. They stopped the replay to show the offside before letting it roll. Absolutely terrible

I'm more aggravated that Vermette stopped skating on the play and let them shoot...

Gotta play til the whistle. Can’t afford a goal like that. On to the third…

Nice fight by Bass! Excellent punching...including a backhand.

Yes. Nice parting shot as he was falling, though...

Tyutin is worthless tonight. Ridiculous.

3 hooking calls = being out of position.

Tyutin is usually a bit more dependable than this...

Someone has GOT to pinch in there for that Carter pass...

We look tired and lazy. Horrible. His is probably the worst game wiz has played. Aside from methot, our defense in general has been horrible

They do seem awfully disorganized and slow...

Piss.
Terrible sloppy loss.

Beaten by a former coach and player. sigh.
That and their goalie was their best player tonight…

Sanford not to blame for either of the St. Louis goals.

YAWN
Wake me up when someone gets fired or traded.
So I take it you haven’t watched any CBJ hockey since Carter returned from his injury. Because it has been extremely entertaining and generally high-quality. Even including this game, the team has been very competitive and the blowout losses have essentially disappeared.
Did you know, if you extrapolate the only 4-2-2 record with the “full” team around (that is, both Carter and Wiz in the lineup instead of only one), you’d be watching a team with the 9th best point percentage in the NHL (62.5%). You should really watch the team sometime – they’re doing quite fine when everybody is playing.

And this team still isn't 100%. Huselius will be back soon as well as Martinek.
