Scoring Chances

After tracking scoring chances for the Jackets all season, it's time to look at where things shook out for the club in all three modes of play (Even Strength, Power Play, and Penalty Kill), including the performances by those who are...no longer with us. Where previous editions did not

Here it is. I'd certainly hoped to have a few postseason examples this year, but life isn't always what we wish for. It took a bit of time for me to get to these, and I appreciate people being paitent. We'll also take a look at the overall scoring chances

It's not how you start, it's how you finish. It's a song, it's a philosophy, it's a lifestyle choice...and it rather describes the week for the Blue Jackets in both micro and macrocosm. From the early success against Edmonton to the blowout against Detroit, the Jackets rebounded with a

Interesting week here - one really close loss that comes down to Cory Schneider being a maniac late, a great shootout win, a blowout loss, and a blowout win - that also came with an insane goaltending performance by Steve Mason. Best E/S Forward vs. VAN: Cam Atkinson / R.

So, here we are again! With two matches against the St. Louis Blues, it's not surprising that chances were at a minimum. What is surprising is how badly some of the matchups went for the Jackets' top line. Best E/S Forward @ STL: Ryan Russell (+4) Worst E/S Forward

Another week, another set of numbers! The nice thing is, we know both stories end well, but it's interesting to see how closely matched the teams were - particularly against Phoenix, who never really went away despite their early deficit. Best E/S Forward vs. PHX: Mark Letestu / Vinny Prospal

Back for more, eh? There's no shortage of them from this week, but it's certainly a case of starting with a dud and ending with a bang - comparing the performance of the team against Pittsburgh to their efforts last night against Phoenix is like watching two totally different squads.

We're almost done. It's a tired, frustrating mantra, but still true. With 61 games in the books and two "core" players already sent out of town, the question of what will be left after the deadline still looms. Perhaps this will at least give an idea of who (or what)

Well, there's one really fun game in here, a surprising game, and a couple of real stinkers. Not sure what else to say about that, except that we should probably get used to it for the next couple months. Best E/S Forward vs CHI: Derek Dorsett (+1) Worst E/

OK, so it's not a terribly big "digest" when it's only two games, but bear with me. Something interesting from the game against the Ducks: With the exception of Aaron Johnson's slapper, every goal was scored within 15' of the goal. That speaks well of the Jackets driving to the
