Game 39 Game Thread: Columbus Blue Jackets at San Jose Sharks

The Blue Jackets kick off their first California swing tonight in San Jose against the Sharks. The belief seems to be that Curtis Sanford is going in goal tonight, so his health will of course be a question. It also may help the Jackets' defense, as they seem to be less timid and damaged with The Sandman back there.
Not that it really matters...
This Jackets team needs to figure out how to score goals. They're 0-fer on the Power Play in their last four games. Their PK is an albatross. We've documented the 4-on-4 issues. That leaves 5-on-5. If Columbus wants to compete against a hot Sharks team, they're going to have to score at even strength.
Nikita Nikitin is also back tonight after missing the last game with the flu. Get the No-Doz; this one is a late, late start for us in the east. I can't imagine Mike, what with his moon-man Halifax "Atlantic" Time, will be up watching this one.

I look forward to there being fewer west coast games with the realignment. I don’t know if I can stay awake for this whole thing.
In other NHL news: holy crap Bruins. At the start of the 3rd they were steamrolling the Flames 7-0. Nutso.

And literally as I wrote that it went to 8-0. Crazy performance.

Sweden just won the Junior Worlds against Russia 1-0 in OT. Very well deserved – outshot the Russians 58-17 and finally got the goal. I wish the Jackets could play with that much heart.
They are ok,
but they aint no Jackets!
Seriously though, unbelievable watching them play. Saturday against Vancouver will be a hell of a game.
tuuka rask has given up a grand total of 1 goal in his past 5 games (the first was in relief of thomas against us though)
that was actually thomas’ worst game of the year, playing us
This game must be boring, the sharks announcers are talking about finding Pepsi in Sweden last year

The Jackets are not good at clearing the zone tonight. Quite a few shifts in a row a seemingly basic clear has failed and resulted in a solid scoring opportunity for the Sharks. Yuck.

Thats why I switched it up and went with the sharks feed, guess there is some perk to being an out of state Jackets fan

Hey there CBJ fans...just stopping in to say beat the Sharks please!
I’m a Wings fan who lives in Athens, OH (sorry, I wasn’t going to switch loyalties just because Columbus got a team). I still root for you guys whenever you aren’t going up against the Winged Wheel.

Gotta crash the net harder on those rebounds
That was an open-net for a Jacket had he been there.
