Game Thread 63: Detroit Red Wings at Columbus Blue Jackets

I don’t have a lot to say. No Pavel Datsyuk or Nicklas Lidstrom for the Wings. Rick Nash for the Blue Jackets. A giant cloud hanging over this franchise. A Red Wings team fighting for every point in an ever-so-tight division race.

How many Wings fans will be in the building tonight? How will the Blue Jackets’ faithful react to Nash staying, and to the way the team acted–or didn’t act, depending on your point of view–at the deadline? How will the Jackets play with their three best face-off guys now wearing other sweaters?

This game marks the debut of Darryl Boyce for Columbus. Jack Johnson makes his home debut, and he’s actually now gotten a chance to interact with his teammates and skate on the ice with them. At the end of the day, I don’t know what to expect from the Jackets tonight, but I have to say it will be interesting.
