Charter Member Posts: 391 Group: Members Member #38 Joined: April 6, 2011	Game 26: Columbus at Edmonton Well after getting shellacked by Calgary and running my losing streak to 3, I headed to Edmonton to try and head off the Oilers. We are competing at right the same level overall, as we are tied in the standings for 7th in the Western Conference. Edmonton entered at 10-10-5, 4-6 in their last 10, while I showed up at 14-10-1, 6-4 in my last 10 but struggling. Both teams are in danger of falling out of the top 8, so it was an important game for both teams. For me, I still have a trip to Montreal next, so I was desperate to pick up some points on this trip. Since this was the second game of a back-to-backer, Dekanich was in the net for me, and he was up against Dubnyk. Off to the Rexall Place in Edmonton for the report…after this I am caught up from before and will begin playing games again. INJURIES: COLUMBUS: None EDMONTON: Nugent-Hopkins, Smyth, Hemsky, Barker out; Whitney DTD; Denis fatigued GOALIES: COLUMBUS: Dekanich EDMONTON: Dubnyk For the first time in quite a while, a game didn’t begin with a rash of penalties. In fact, there were exactly zero penalties called in the first period on either team, as the refs basically took the 20 minutes off. Both teams played pretty disciplined though, so it was good hockey to play. The first 12 minutes went by with quite a bit of back-and-forth, as both teams looked to cautiously establish something while maintaining a defensive mindset. Finally at the 13 minute mark the home team broke out first, as Green found Eager in front with a perfect pass, and he hit home the high percentage one-timer to get the Oilers on the board first: I would counter 4 minutes later and knot the score up, as Husleius found Dorsett after some nice team puck movement, and the big man finished off a 1-2-3 combination to even the score at 1: That was it for a fast moving and pretty high quality period. At the horn the score was knotted at 1 and shots were just 6-5 in favor of Columbus, so neither team got much going offensively. I was outdone in the faceoff circle but was passing the puck very well. The question entering the second was would the game stay buttoned down or open up? In the second, things started opening up early, to answer that question. Just a minute in Vermetter took a penalty for a vicious blind-side hit into the boards that would likely register a game misconduct if the game had that: Hard to argue with that call, so I just dug in to kill it off. The Oilers got about half a dozen shots off, but a couple of good saves and a couple of timely clearances were the key to making it through the penalty unscathed. The rest of the furst half of the period was wide open, with a lot of quick puck movement and some decent looks, followed by the puck going the other way for a look, etc. At the halfway point I was headed back to the box as Umberger was whistled for holding along the boards: Sensing my team needed a lift, the captain Rich Nash took the ice for the PK and put in one of the most amazing single player efforts I have ever gotten on the game. Not only did I stop a rush and get the puck, but I sped up ice, established the zone, set up for a shot, and hammered it in from distance right as 3 Oilers were bearing down on me, as seen in this fun shot: I have reduced my attempts at shorthanders this year to try and improve my PK%, but this beauty gave me the lead at 2-1 at the halfway point. A couple of minutes later I had a patented sequence of Edmonton taking a penalty, and then me following soon after, killing my PP and setting up my 4-on-4. This seems to happen at least once a game: Right as that entire sequence was ending and we were back to full strength, Smid took an untimely penalty for the Oilers while trying to clear out Nash, putting me back a man up with 5 to go in the frame: This time I would cash it in, as Tyutin took the puck in during a line change and fired it from deep, beating the tender with a long shot for the second time in the game and giving me a 3-1 advantage: The rest of the period went by quickly and I ended the second in good position. I was up by 2 goals despite being outshot 16-11 in the period, and I seemed pretty comfortable with the pace and movement of the game after two periods. Despite losing a bunch of faceoffs I was still passing the puck well and the goaltending was good. It remained to be seen what would happen in the third…could the Oilers foist one more run at it? In the third I started playing more defensively at first, trying to make the Oilers scramble to get back even. I also kept in mind what had been working, and tried to further exploit it. At the 6 minute mark, my top line took the puck into the zone, passed it a time or two, and it found Nash at the point. He banged it home for yet another long distance goal to make it 4-1 and net his second of the game: At this point I was firmly in control and the Oilers were forced to go for broke. Over the next several minutes they really heated up the offensive pressure, and I was having a hard time counterattacking. Finally, at the 11 minute mark, they broke through, as Lander found Hartkainen in a crowd at the circle for a one-timer to make it 4-2: However I rebounded from this nicely, getting my counterattack going and moving the puck better. At the 14 minute mark Tyutin, in what looked like another benign line change situation, banged in his second goal from long range on the day, and the unassisted marker all but put it away at 5-2: The frustrated Oilers started to platy sloppy, and a minute later Green took a hooking minor in front of the net: With a comfortable lead, I was looking to set up either Tyutin or Nash for the hat trick, and in short order Wisniewski found Nash from behind the net with a perfect pass, and Nash deked the goalie and buried it high side for the 6-2 lead and the hat trick: I took a couple of silly penalties at the end that actually gave the Oilers a few seconds of 5-on-3 while I was putting my physical exclamation point on the game, including one where I drilled the guy completely into my bench. The Oilers seemed more interested in heading to the locker room, however, and nothing came of it. As the horn sounded, I had a rousing victory to break out of my slump: Shots were 9-5 Jackets in the third, making it 26 apiece for the game. I was 2/3 on the PP and held them scoreless in 3 tries, so special teams really helped me this game, as I also put in a shorthander. I lost faceoffs 24-12, but I moved the puck very well. This kind of game was exactly what I needed when I needed it. It was a dominating victory and a game I can build some confidence in heading to Montreal. I broke my 3 game losing streak and finally have some points to show for this difficult trip. Dekanich has played well enough that I am thinking about using him more and Mason less. The offense picked up, although I must say most of the goals were long range bombs that wouldn’t beat most goalies. Still, I stuck with what worked and was able to exploit it, which gave me confidence because I was able to implement a game day strategy on the fly. Next time out it is off to Montreal to play the venerable Habs, which is never an easy challenge. Until then, goodnight from the Rexall Place in Edmonton, where the final score was Columbus 6, Edmonton 2.

Charter Member Posts: 391 Group: Members Member #38 Joined: April 6, 2011	Game 27: Columbus at Montreal After finally breaking through to get some points last time out against Edmonton, I conclude this 4 game Canadian road trip in Montreal to face the Habs. Both teams are playing similar hockey in terms of the records and the standings, with Montreal entering at 14-12-1 (4-6), 6th in the Eastern Conference, and Columbus at 15-10-1 (6-4), T7th in the Western conference. I really haven’t made any line changes this trip, though Mason was back in net for the game after Dekanich played so well in Edmonton. The Canadians are notoriously difficult to beat on the road, and though they entered the game struggling with injuries, I expect Price and the defense to make life difficult for me. My best hope was to keep the scoring low and try and bang out a couple of goals and see what happens. If I got down early I didn’t have much confidence I could come back. So it was off to the Bell Centre to see what I could do against the Canadians. INJURIES: COLUMBUS: None MONTREAL: Yemelin, Plekanic, Spacek, Pacioretty, Eller out GOALIES: COLUMBUS: Mason MONTREAL: Price The first period in this game absolutely flew by. Both teams were moving the puck, changing behind the play, and otherwise playing quality hockey, and both goaltenders were making some good saves. The only incident in period 1 was a penalty on Campoli at the 13 minute mark, which gave me the only power play of the period: However the Habs were strong on the kill and I wasn’t able to get much puck movement, so after a couple of good clearances I had nothing to show for the advantage. The rest of the period was over quickly, and both goaltenders could be pleased with their play in the first. The offense was spirited, with Columbus leading in shots 12-10, and there were only 4 faceoffs (3-1 Habs), so the run of play was extensive. After a stalemate in the first, it was still anyone’s game heading into the second. In the second things started to rapidly open up. First, Montreal put some early pressure on, and after Mason grabbed the puck I distributed it, but it was snatched up by Darche, who jammed it in past the unsuspecting tender to make it 1-0 home side. This was basically just a boneheaded play by me: After this the period settled in to a special teams battle, as the penalties came rapidly. At the 8 minute mark Nash was sent off for tripping, and the Habs were up a man for the first time: They grabbed the puck off the faceoff and took a quick shot, and after it bounced around between 2 or 3 players, Cole chipped it in past Mason to make it 2-0 in just 6 seconds of power play time: At this point I had half a game to go and was in danger of getting blown out of the building. At the 11 minute mark I was called for a penalty on Umberger and I thought the game might be headed for a blowout: However after frustrating them with good clearances for a minute, Gill went off for roughing and I had thwarted another power play: At the 17 minute mark a couple of quick ones were called, one on each team, which set up some 4-on-4 time: Nothing came of the open ice time, though I was still holding my own offensively this period despite being down by 2 goals. I felt if I could break through against Price I could get back in it, however I was having no luck doing so and he was making more incredible saves as the game went on. With a minute to go in the period Johnson was sent off and I was down a man with a split between the periods: I killed off the minute before the break and got to the locker room down 2-0. Shots were 11-10 Jackets in the second, but I was getting slain on faceoffs and I just couldn’t control the puck for enough time or beat Price. Coming out in the third I had to finish killing the penalty and then I was desperate to get back in it. Opening the third the Habs got some early pressure on the net but I was able to try and counterattack. Back and forth we went, and at the four minute mark with a line change behind him, the captain finally broke through, and he entered the zone, made a nifty move, and used the scrambling defensemen as a screen to beat Price and cut the lead in half: However 30 seconds later MacKenzie was sent off and the rest of the period became a shooting gallery for the Habs. They started peppering Mason with shots, and it was difficult for me to even clear the puck. I fought off the penalty but the next 10 minutes were all about the Canadians hammering shots at Mason. Using the best defense is a good offense mindset, they controlled the puck for virtually the entire period, and Mason was sprawling to keep it out of the net. I had a hard time making even short passes and they were crashing the net at every turn. With 3 minutes to go, Boll took a penalty along the boards trying to get the puck up ice, and it appeared I was finished: I killed off the penalty and dedicated myself to doing that rather than trying for a shorthanded rush, figuring I could make one last big push in the final minute. It worked in the sense that I killed off the penalty successfully, and then I caught a break with a minute to go as Gomez took a penalty and put me up a man: However after an initial clearance I had to chase it down ice, and Wisniewski took a tripping penalty when he got there, and with 45 seconds to go the remainder of the game would be 4-on-4: After finally getting control of the puck with about 30 seconds to go, I had time for one more rush. Methot found Huselius, who sped up the wing and behind the net. After fighting off a defender he slid a perfect pass to a cutting Nikitin, and he buried it top shelf with less than 20 seconds remaining to dramatically tie the game at 2: I had to fight off one final rally by the Habs in the final 15 seconds, and Mason made one more really good save. As the horn sounded, I had secured a valuable point as we headed to OT, outscoring Montreal 2-0 in the period despite being outshot 18-8 in the frame. In OT I put my first line out there, got the puck, and went for the jugular. I sent the puck into the zone and made some nice cross-ice passes. Price had to make 2 amazing saves to stop a game-winner from Prospal, and then finally the Habs counterattacked. I got the puck back with my lower line after a change but the Habs took it back and Gomez slid a perfect cross-ice feed to Gionta, who hammered it past Mason for the game-winner a little over 2 minutes in: This touched off a big celebration for the Habs, who have been struggling recently, but I also headed to the dressing room happy that I came away with something. Shots were 3 apiece in OT, 41-34 Montreal for the game. I held my own offensively and despite being 0/4 on the PP, I held them to 1/7 and 0 for their last 6 to secure the point. I got killed on faceoffs 24-11, but I weathered the third period storm and secured a valuable point as I sent the game to OT. This was a very good result for both teams. Montreal outplayed me for good portions of the game and deserved the 2 points. I counterattacked and felt I did enough to earn the one point. Since we are in different conferences the result doesn’t hurt either of us in terms of the other team getting points, so we can both go home happy. I put more shots on net than usual, which is a good sign for my struggling offense that bottomed out in Calgary. I fell short of my goal of 4-5 points on the trip, but I got 3 and am on a bit of an uptick heading home to play Nashville next time out. Until then, goodnight from the Bell Centre in Montreal, where the final score after OT was Montreal 3, Columbus 2.

Charter Member Posts: 391 Group: Members Member #38 Joined: April 6, 2011	Game 28: Nashville at Columbus I returned home after securing 3 points in the last 2 games of the trip to encounter a division matchup with the hated Predators. These games are usually close and always heated. The Preds entered the game ahead of me in the standings at 14-7-6 (6-4), 5th in the Western Conference. My record of 15-10-2 (5-5) had me out of the top 8 and tied for 9th, though I am certainly not far away from the bottom of the playoff positions right now. The Preds usually own me in the season series but I have held my own thus far, so it was important that I come away with at least some sort of points at home in this one to “hold serve”, as it were. I have been in a slide recently however as my power play has deserted me and I have also had trouble scoring at even strength, so I was anxious to get back out in front of the home fans and build on the modest momentum I had started. To the Nationwide Arena to see how things went in this bitter divisional rivalry. INJURIES: NASHVILLE: Fisher, Stortini, Geoffrion, Klein, O'Reilly, Bergfors out COLUMBUS: Mason fatigued GOALIES: NASHVILLE: Rinne COLUMBUS: Dekanich It didn’t take long for this to resemble a divisional game, as Weber was sent for holding less than a minute in: However the Preds had a good penalty kill going early and my lines struggled to get pressure on, particularly the second unit. After 2 uneventful minutes we were back to full strength, and for the next 10 minutes we played a conservative, back-and-forth game that featured very little offensive pressure by the Preds and quite a bit of offensive zone time for me. Unfortunately, this didn’t result in any goals, though I got half a doze great shots on Rinne, who was standing on his heard early in this one. At the 12 minute mark, I got sloppy and Pahlsson was run for hooking, resulting in me being down a man for the first time: However I was also able to battle and kill off the penalty and I made a couple of good clearances and Nash was a pest in the offensive zone, which made it hard for them to set up. 2 minutes before the end of the period, Smith was off for holding, and I had one more power play chance before the break: This time Rinne was even better, stopping a couple of point blank looks and stacking the pads on an easy rebound to rob me of the first goal. So as the horn sounded I had dominated the offensive gameplan and dictated the tempo, outshooting the Preds 12-3 and controlling most of the faceoffs. However we were still scoreless and I was anticipating that the road team would soon make their move. Sure enough, coming out of the gate in the second, the Preds were a house of fire. They took immediate control and put pressure on the zone. After an icing call and a line change, they struck with the opener, as Tootoo put the puck on net and Blum chipped it past the outstretched stick of the defenseman to make it 1-0 Preds: At this point in the game I was trying to re-establish some tempo, but to no avail. The Preds dominated the puck, and they were getting the better of the 5-on-5 play. The refs were letting a lot go, so their physical play and puck movement were superior this period. I held off a second goal for 10 minutes, but at that point Smithson doubled the lead when the puck went off a defensive stick and in, really putting me on my heels: Over the next 5 minutes I was still playing defensive hockey, until finally Hillen was called for hooking with 4 to go, ending the barrage and putting me back up a man: I couldn’t catch a break as things went from bad to worse, however, as 30 seconds into the power play Nash and Huselius were run in rapid succession and I went from up 5-on-4 to down 4-on-3: I was bailed out by a silly penalty on Suter 11 seconds later however, and after that crazy sequence we had a rare significant portion of 3-on-3 time to end the period: Neither team was able to score on it, and frankly neither got much offensive pressure either as both seemed to be content to move the puck at center and not take a chance of a counterattack. As the second period ended, I was down 2-0 and had been thoroughly mauled in the period, being outshot 11-3. Much like the Montreal game, it would be up to me to try and mount a late comeback in the third to try and sneak a point or two out of the game. The Preds took a penalty less than a minute into the third, and I saw a good opportunity to get back in it: However I had one of my worst power plays of the season, completely unable to generate anything and just watching the puck fly back into my zone repeatedly. Over the next 10 minutes or so I got a decent amount of pressure on, but still was unable to put anything by Rinne, who was still playing at a high level. Finally, at the halfway point, Nash entered the zone after getting a pass and proceeded to make a nice move and pulverize a shot from distance, extending his recent red hot streak and cutting the lead in half to 2-1 with plenty of time to go: However I just couldn’t beat Rinne as the game progressed. I threw everything I had at him, and he still turned it all away, and though I opened myself up to counterattacks, Dekanich made about 5 good saves himself. A delayed penalty at the one minute mark got me 3 good scoring chances, and though I didn’t score on it the ref blew the play dead and I was a man up with 45 seconds to go: I went all in to try and score, but I had tired lines. I decided against calling a timeout because I thought that the Pred PK would also be tired and I would have the advantage. However that decision blew up in my face as Spaling swiped a loose puck, sped down ice, and hit a trailing Dupont, who beat Dekanich with a relatively routine shot for a shorthander to ice it away at 3-1 with 30 seconds left: Or did they? I got the puck off the faceoff, threw it into the zone, and it took a funny bounce off the side boards. It caromed right to Johansen, who backhanded it past a stunned Rinne in just 7 seconds, and with 24 seconds to go I had a power play goal and had cut it to 3-2: I had one final furious rally left, and I took full advantage. I hammered 3-4 great shots and Rinne, one on a cross-ice pass which he stopped but gave up the rebound, and then I was there to chip it in, only to have him somehow miraculously get something (glove? pad?) on it to turn it away as time expired. Rinne had won out, and the Preds left with an impressive road win: Shots were 15-9 Jackets in the third, 30-23 overall. I held them scoreless on 3 PP chances but I was just 1/6 on mine and didn’t get my goal until late when I was down 2 and had given up a shorthander. I dominated faceoffs 22-9, but the game was really lost in the first period where I had all that run of play and never got a goal. This was a very tough loss to swallow, as I hate losing to the Predators more than any other team. My power play right now is a disaster, I am going to have to shift some guys around, switch things up, maybe call up somebody…I don’t know. Ironically my PK has been pretty good recently, so I don’t have any complaints there. The goaltending was decent but Dekanich gave up way too many rebounds this game, which really accounted for the Predator goals. This was almost a carbon copy of the Montreal game, except that I was unable to get the second goal before giving up a cheap third this time. I need to find some way to start out the game better so that I don’t keep digging myself a hole. This loss dropped me down into 11th, so I need to amass some points soon so that I don’t lose sight of the playoff spots. Unfortunately I am entering a brutal stretch, starting with the mighty Bruins, who will enter the next game with the best record in the NHL and who decimated me 7-2 last time we played. I play some tough teams, but the next 4 are at home, so I will need to get something going quickly. Until then, goodnight from the Nationwide Arena, where the final score was Nashville 3, Columbus 2.

Nashfan	Jan 26 2012, 10:55 PM Post #82
Charter Member Posts: 391 Group: Members Member #38 Joined: April 6, 2011	Game 29: Boston at Columbus After dropping a pair of 3-2 decisions, I was eager to get back out on the ice. Unfortunately, my opponent this night was the might Bruins, who entered with a league best split of 19-6-2 (6-4). I entered at 15-11-2 (5-5) and have fallen all the way to a tie for 11th in the bunched up Western Conference. In order to jumpstart my team, I left Dekanich in the net and called up Brassard, who has more speed and ability to move the puck, and sent down Calvert. I moved Brassard to the RW on line 2, moved Umberger to the left, and dropped Huselius to LW on the 4th line. Despite the struggles of the power play I left those units in tact for now. The Bruins trashed me right out of Boston 7-2 the last time we met, so I was eager to atone for that and grab points as I continue on this 5 game home stand. To the Nationwide Arena to see if I could turn things around. INJURIES: BOSTON: Bergeron, Campbell, Thornton, Whitfield, Paille, Hamill out COLUMBUS: None GOALIES: BOSTON: Thomas COLUMBUS: Dekanich I expected a combative and physical game, as the Bruins bullied me all over the ice the last time out. There was quite a bit of that after a short initial feeling out process, as McQuaid was first to the box at the 5 minute mark: My power play continued to struggle, and despite getting a decent look or two at Thomas he turned them away with ease and I was back to even strength briefly, until Chara was next to go at the 7 minute mark: Once again I was up a man, and once again I struggled to do anything. Boston did a good job of crowding the middle of the ice and preventing any cross ice or diagonal passing. As the power play ended, Peverley got into the act, leaving for hooking at 9:30: And you probably guessed it, I STILL couldn’t get anything going. My PP lines were obviously tired by now and I had to switch them rapidly to keep them even functioning, but the PK units for Boston are top notch. As we hit the halfway point, Nash was run for hooking and that negated my advantage (if you can call it that): Finally the sequence ended, and we were back to full strength again after little fanfare. However shortly afterwards, the Bruins struck first, as Lucic hit Chara with a nice pass and he blasted it home to get the visitors on the board with a little over 7 to play in the period: The rest of the period went by fairly quickly, as there was a lot of physical play in the red zone but not much offensive time for either team. A couple of penalties at the end of the period made it 4-on-4 for an extended period heading to the break: At the end of one period, it was 1-0 Boston despite the fact I had outshot them 10-6 and had basically been a man up for literally half the period. At the point I wondered if I had given away my best chances in the game, because if we started playing more even strength I wasn’t sure I would be able to contend with them heading into the second. Early in the second everything went as the first did, as initially Chara was run for elbowing about 2:30 in. I failed yet again to score on the PP, though I still got a couple of decent looks. At the 7 minute mark Kelly was off and I had yet another power play chance: Finally, FINALLY, the law of averages caught up and I was able to tie the game, as Carter found Prospal with a nice pass and he broke out of a long, long slump to even the game at 1 on a delayed call: The delayed penalty gave me an additional 2 minutes of power play time, but I was unable to cash in a second, and at the halfway point we were back to even in the game and even strength. Right then Prospal took a penalty and I was finally on a PK situation: However Seidenberg got too aggressive on the man advantage and was sent off, evening the numbers back up. From here, the remainder of the period flew by, and I surprisingly held my own against the Bruins at even strength, though I didn’t get much pressure on the net. As the second intermission arrived, the score was tied at 1, shots were close at 10-8 Boston for the period, 18-16 Jackets for the game, and it was anyone’s hockey game as we headed to the third period. Boston came out and wasted no time, grabbing the faceoff, crashing the zone, and Lucic finding a streaking Horton for a one-timer and a 2-1 lead in less than 30 seconds: However I executed the ultimate counterpunch, as I took the ensuing faceoff and Wisiewski flipped it to Nash, who found Carter for a one-timer and the equalizer less than 30 seconds later. Suddenly we had 2 goals in less than a minute and we were back tied: At the 4 minute mark Nash was run for tripping, and I had to kill off one more penalty, which I did successfully. At that point everything more or less shut down, and the next 10 minutes resembled a late round playoff game, with an abundance of physical play and very few shots, as neither team wanted to make a mistake. Unfortunately, with a little over 4 to play, Brassard would take a fateful hooking penalty, giving the Bruins one final man advantage: As great teams do, they found a way to cash in at the tail end, as Lucic collected his third assist, this time finding Horton wide open with a back door cross-ice pass that gave the Bruins a 3-2 lead: IMG]http://img860.imageshack.us/img860/4030/c2919.jpg[/IMG] I gave it everything I had down the stretch trying to even the score, but it was to no avail as Boston mauled me every time I touched the puck. Finally, Chara was called for a penalty, but by then there were only 6 seconds remaining: Off the faceoff I got one great look, but Thomas turned it away and secured the victory: Shots were 9-8 Columbus in the third, 27-24 for the game. I also held my own in faceoffs, losing by just a 25-21 margin. I took everything the Bruins had all game, but by going 1/8 on the PP and allowing the late marker for Boston (1/5), I just wasn’t able to generate enough offense. Again. This type of loss is tough to swallow, but at least I hung in with the best team in the league after getting blown out last time. Unfortunately this was my third straight 3-2 loss, and those are far from the only 3. I don’t think I’ve ever played any sports game where I lost more by the exact same score, but I just can’t seem to do enough to win in the end when it counts, and I can’t seem to cash in the early opportunities that would make the other team play from behind. I have no idea what I’m going to do with my PP, it has sucked for almost a month, but I am going to have to do something because I can’t keep letting these chances go by. My PK is playing well, better than usual, so there are no worries there. I need to get it figured out quickly however, because high octane Vancouver comes in next for game 30, which will be followed by a segment report. Until then, goodnight from the Nationwide Arena, where the final score (again) was Boston 3, Columbus 2.

Nashfan	Feb 3 2012, 10:44 PM Post #83
Charter Member Posts: 391 Group: Members Member #38 Joined: April 6, 2011	Game 30: Vancouver at Columbus Three straight 3-2 defeats had me desperate to get points as continued my home stand. The bad news is I was playing Vancouver, who entered the game tied for 3rd in the West with a record of 16-7-6 (6-4). At 15-12-2 (4-6) I was backsliding heading into this game, tied for just 11th in the West and in danger of falling well behind the top 8 spots at the 30 game mark. Luongo would no doubt give me a tussle this game, as he usually plays well against me, and Mason was back in net to try and break my losing streak. To the Nationwide Arena to see if I could start a turnaround. INJURIES: VANCOUVER: Higgins, Burrows, Kesler, Raymond, Edler, Lapierre, Oreskovich out COLUMBUS: Dekanich fatigued GOALIES: VANCOUVER: Luongo COLUMBUS: Mason This figured to be another close, defensive game, and the penalties started early as they usually do, with Wisniewski getting run for roughing less than 2 minutes in: My PK came out strong though, and luckily Samuelsson got sloppy and got called for roughing just a minute into the man advantage, setting us up for some 4-on-4: Unfortunately Vancouver took control of the momentum at this point and kept it for the remainder of the period. The open ice seemed to favor the skilled Canucks, and right before my penalty ended Weise found Ebbett with a nice pass for a one-timer and a 1-0 lead for the visitors: Just a few seconds later, Carter was off for interference, and it looked like things were playing out the same as they had the past handful of games: However my PK, which has been very strong of late, turned away a handful of good scoring opportunities, and Mason played well in net. I killed off the penalty successfully, which set up a period of 10 minutes or so with very little offense. Both teams kept cycling fresh players and dumping the puck, but neither was able to mount much offense. I in particular was having a hard time even getting a puck to Luongo. Just over 15 minutes in, Carter entered the zone and slid a pass to Tyutin, who not only got the puck to the goaltender but put it past him, giving me a badly needed equalizer: A few seconds later Brassard was off for interference and the Canucks had the chance to take the momentum back. They did not, however, as I pretty much stoned all attempts to set up in the zone with some good clearances. Soon the penalty ended and the rest of the period flew by. As the first horn sounded, the game was tied at 1 and I was in good position. I had been outshot 8-3 but had cashed in when it counted and was holding my own on faceoffs. Both teams had a chance to seize control heading into the second. Vancouver started the second playing very aggressively along the boards, and that got them into some early trouble. First it was Samuelsson off at 2 minutes for interference: I failed to generate much of any offense though, and quickly the penalty was killed off. In fact the Canucks had a look or two shorthanded, but Mason turned them away skillfully. About 3 minutes later Malhotra and Bitz were off one right after the other, and I suddenly had a golden chance at a 5-on-3: As has been a longstanding tradition in this game though, I actually play worse and the other team clears the puck better with a 2 man advantage compared to 5-on-4. Thus I was able to do next to nothing, as Vancouver intercepted a handful of passes and sent the puck sprawling down ice, killing off the time effectively. As I approached the halfway mark, I was holding my own but still wasn’t able to take control. Finally that changed as the second line got a rare goal when Vermette found Umberger with a great pass to give me a 2-1 edge halfway through the game: Like the first goal I managed to take a penalty shortly afterward, giving the Canucks a chance to get it right back: My PK ruled this day, however, as I once again kept the Canuck attack at bay. At the 11 minute mark the Canucks took one more penalty and I had a power play chance again: However this one went much like the others and I was able to accomplish next to nothing, as I couldn’t even get set up in the zone. Despite those frustrations, I played the rest of the period to a rapid draw and as the second horn sounded I entered the locker room with an improbable lead. I was outshot 13-6 in the period, 21-9 for the game thus far, but I was about even on faceoffs and I was winning the game 2-1. Desperate for points, I entered the third thinking I needed one more goal to really get control of the game while at the same time recognizing defense was a priority. After 5 minutes of play in the third, I really got what I needed as Nash found Prospal for a nice one-timer and a 3-1 lead with just 15 to play. I had begun the period building some momentum in the zone and the Canuck defense wasn’t blocking quite as many shots or intercepting quite as many passes as they had been in the first two periods: Armed with a 2 goal lead, I took to playing defense and forcing the Canucks to come to me. The result was as a unit I basically stonewalled them all period at the blue line. I never allowed them to establish anything, and they took a couple of frustration penalties down the stretch as they were desperate to get ahold of the puck: The defensive strategy worked masterfully, and even pulling Luongo at the end didn’t help. As the horn sounded Mason was off the hook with a big win and perhaps could start building back up his #1 tender status after a bit of a slump. Shots were 14-3 Jackets in the third as I got my 2 goal lead and then owned the period defensively. Shots were thus 24-23 Canucks for the game, and though I was 0/7 on the PP I held them to 0/3 as my PK actually climbed out of last place in the league for the first time basically ever this late in the season. Faceoffs were 20-19 so I held my own there as well. Finally I was able to break through and get a big win, pushing me to 34 points in 30 games and edging me back closer to the playoff spots. Obviously it is still very early in the season, but with an extended West Coast trip coming up, I need points at home now to keep the top 8 in sight. Mason was brilliant this game, especially in the first 2 periods, and I rarely have ever been able to shut a team down for 20 minutes like I did in the third. A segment report is coming up, followed by the next series of games, beginning with the Kings at home. Until then, goodnight from the Nationwide Arena, where the final score was Columbus 3, Vancouver 1.

Charter Member Posts: 391 Group: Members Member #38 Joined: April 6, 2011	So it is now time for the third segment report. In this segment, I regressed some, going 4-5-1, good for just 9 points, and am 15-12-2 overall (8-7-1 H, 8-5-1 A) for 32 points and currently out of the playoff picture in a very crowded Western Conference. Results were: CLB 7, @NJD 5 BUF 0, @CLB 1 STL 5, @CLB 3 CLB 1, @VAN 2 CLB 0, @CAL 7 CLB 6, @EDM 2 CLB 2, @MTL 3 (OT) NSH 3, @CLB 2 BOS 3, @CLB 2 VAN 1, @CLB 3 And standings are: Goals were 27 GF, 31 GA in the segment and are almost dead even at 87 GF, 86 GA total for the 30 games. My power play sits 34/169, good for 20.1%, which is down a touch but still 1st in the league. On the PK I have improved dramatically of late, sitting at 107/127, 84.3%, and out of last and tied for 28th. For team leaders, the Lethal Line has dropped off some with the exception of Nash, who has been dominant. Nash now leads in goals with 17, followed by Carter with 14 and Prospal with 12. Nash is now tied with Carter for the lead in Assists with 15, also followed by Prospal and also Umberger with 11. For points then, Nash has 32 (17/15) and Carter (14/15) and Prospal (12/11) follow with 29 and 23, respectively. Prospal, Tyutin and Nash all now lead the +/- at +8. The goaltender save percentages are eerily similar, as Mason sits at 12-10 with a GAA of 2.925 and a S% of .912. Dekanich is playing very similarly, with a 4-3 record, a GAA of 2.179 and a S% of .913. For league leaders, here are some shots: The next segment features 6 road games and 3 division games, and is highlighted by a major road trip through the division and then a trip to the West Coast which starts at the end of the segment. Here is the upcoming schedule: LA TB @STL @NSH @CHI CAL @DAL WSH @SJ @LA Hope you have enjoyed the season so far, and stay tuned!

Charter Member Posts: 391 Group: Members Member #38 Joined: April 6, 2011	Game 31: Los Angeles at Columbus Well I finally picked up a W last time out and was very interested in building a bit of a mini-streak here on this homestand, because 3 road division games in a row loom on the horizon. So here I took on Los Angeles, a team that always seems to give me trouble. On the other hand, they also always seem to play overly physical against me, so if I could get some man advantage situations I thought maybe I could get my struggling power play going some. Mason was back in the net for my Jackets, who stood at 16-12-2 (4-6) entering the game, good for only a tie for 10th in the West. Above me in the standings were the Kings, sitting at 17-11-2 (6-4), and with 36 points they were 2 ahead of me in 8th. Thus I viewed this as a statement game, feeling I needed to get a win to re-establish myself in the playoff chase as I head towards the season midpoint. To the Nationwide Arena to see if I was able to get it. INJURIES: LA: Parse, Kopitar out COLUMBUS: Methot out GOALIES: LA: Quick COLUMBUS: Mason This game started out competitively as both teams were really cautious at the drop. It took 5 minutes for anything really to happen, as at that time I was down a man for the first time as Dorsett was sent off for hooking: My PK continued their high level of play, however, as I was able to kill it off with a couple of timely clearances without really allowing more than a shot or two. Halfway through the period, Richardson was run for hooking, and I had my chance with the man advantage: Unlike the Kings, I got it going early on the PP, as the defensemen hooked up with Nikitin finding Tyutin for a blast that made it 1-0 Jackets right at the end of the PP: With 5 to go in the period former Jacket Ethan Moreau was sent off for tripping, and I had one more shot on the PP: Again it took me a while, but finally Nash found some open space and sent a howitzer towards net that beat Quick to keep his torrid pace going and doubling my lead to 2-0: That would end the action for the period, and as the horn sounded I felt pretty good about where I was. I outshot the Kings 12-6 in the first, was moving the puck pretty well, had a 2-0 lead, and was keeping the pace somewhere around where I like it. Heading to the second, I was feeling pretty good. Again in the second it took about 5 minutes for anything to start happening, but once it did this game started to get out of hand. First, at the 5 minute mark, some nice puck movement in the zone by the Jackets resulted in an Aaron Johnson goal that gave me a 3-0 lead: At this point of the game the Kings started playing hyper-aggressively, presumably to change the pace of the game and control the puck more. Unfortunately for them, then refs weren’t buying it and I was cooking on the power play. At the 6 minute mark, Lokitonov went for roughing: After some patience in the zone on the PP, Carter eventually found Nash for the one-timer to give me a 4-0 lead: A minute later, Scuderi was off for roughing: In just 7 seconds, Tyutin took the faceoff from Vermette and hammered it past a hapless Quick to give me a 5-0 lead and send the goaltender to an early shower: I took a silly penalty at the halfway point on Johansen, but it was quickly equalized by an equally silly penalty on Scuderi (again) to make it predominantly 4-on-4: Ironically that was the only way the Kings were able to stop my PP in the first couple of periods, being only a few seconds long at the tail end. With 5 to go in the period, Bernier had made a couple of nice saves and then the Kings finally got on the board, as Richards banged it past Mason to make it 5-1: No further scoring occurred in the period, and as the second horn sounded I was soundly in control with a 5-1 lead. Shots were 16-7 in the period, 28-13 in the game to date, and Quick was driven off the ice. I was still playing good defense and didn’t feel like the third period would be anything more than a formality. Sometimes with those assessments I am badly mistaken…but not this time. Again the action started 5 minutes in, this time with a penalty on Stoll for holding: Since the Kings hadn’t learned their lesson, I was all too happy to keep teaching them. In 21 seconds Prospal found Nash for his hat trick on the power play to stretch the lead to 6-1 as the home fans celebrated Nash’s individual accolade: At this point the game was a formality, so I started going for broke a bit just to have some fun, so the game opened up. At the 13 minute mark, you guessed it, Mitchell was off for hooking and I had another power play: Bad idea for the Kings, as in less than 30 seconds Johansen had a chip shot for a 7-1 lead: A couple of minutes later, Lokitonov was sent one more time for hooking: With exactly 3 minutes to go, I finished it off with a beauty, as Nash found Carter for the finally tally in the 8-1 Final: As the final horn sounded, I had one of my most incredible victories and Mason had an easy day: Shots were 13-12 in the wide open third, 41-25 for the game, and faceoffs were 21-17 Kings. I held them scoreless on their 2 power plays, and clearly the big story in this game was my power play, where I went 7/8 and didn’t fail on any power play that lasted the full amount: Well sometimes you are the bug, sometimes you are the windshield, and in this game I was definitely the windshield. My power play has been bad for 10+ games, but I literally couldn’t miss in this one. Not much else to say about this game, it was about as one-sided as it gets, and I think I successfully made my statement that I will be battling up the playoff ladder for the rest of the season. Next time out I face the Lightning from the Eastern Conference at home before I embark on my 3 game swing through the division. Until then, goodnight from the Nationwide Arena, where the Blue Jackets thrashed the Kings by a score of Columbus 8, Los Angeles 1.

Charter Member Posts: 391 Group: Members Member #38 Joined: April 6, 2011	Game 32: Tampa Bay at Columbus After annihilating the Kings last time out, I was looking to keep the momentum going as I ended the home stand and headed on the road for 3 division games after this one. At 17-12-2 (4-6), I was back into a T9 and just a couple of points out of the coveted top 8 spots. In my way were the struggling Lightning, who entered at 13-13-5 (5-5), good for just 12th in the Eastern Conference and struggling to stay afloat. Tampa was fairly healthy overall, so I expected a good battle. Methot was still out so I had Moore in at defense in his place. Dekanich took this game so that Mason would be fresh to start the trip, so it’s off to the Nationwide Arena to see whether I could get a couple of points going away. INJURIES: TB: Brewer, Malone, Ohland, Hedmon out COLUMBUS: Methot out GOALIES: TB: Roloson COLUMBUS: Mason This game started out pretty even, and after a 5 minute feeling out period, I struck first with my top line, as Carter found Nash to continue his torrid scoring streak and make the score 1-0 early: There was plenty more action in this period, as a brief flurry of penalties started at the 7 minute mark. Petiot went first for Tampa, followed by Johansen 90 seconds later for the Jackets, and then 2 quick penalties on Tampa at the halfway mark left me with a 2 man advantage: I was able to at least cash in one, as Prospal sped across the mouth of the goal and blasted one in unassisted, doubling the lead to 2-0 and giving my top line of forwards a point each at the 12 minute mark: It could have been a lot worse for Tampa, who at this point began to make their comeback. Slowly they dug in and began to chip away in the zone, and with 3 to go in the period they finally pulled one back as Pyatt found Tyrell in front: Less than 90 seconds later they managed to even it up at the break, as a funny bounce produced the puck in a sweet spot for Stamkos, who blasted it in unassisted to tie it at 2 before the break: At the first intermission we had an even hockey game. Shots were 11-9 Jackets and faceoffs and zone time were also pretty even. Both goaltenders did not play their best so I was hoping to get a bit more out of Dekanich in the second. I actually did get quite a bit out of Dekanich in the second, as the game opened up and both teams got ample shooting opportunities. I took a hooking penalty early on Prospal, so I had to kill off an early penalty: I was able to do that thanks to Nash and Dekanich, and for the next 10 minutes we went back and forth with plenty of shooting but no scoring, as both goaltenders decided to earn their money. With 7 to go Nikitin took a hooking minor and I was back down a man: The Lightning would take immediate advantage, as Bergeron got the puck off the faceoff and scored in just 4 seconds to give Tampa their first lead of the night 3-2 and cost me a (recently) rare power play goal against: At this point I really pushed hard for an equalizer before the break, fearing I had lost momentum and that I would be up against a 20 minute game of keep-away in the third. I took the chance of giving up a counter-attack, but in this case the strategy worked, as late in the period Brassard found Umberger for the equalizer with less than 3 to go before the second intermission: I had lost a lot of momentum since early in the first but at the break I had at least made it anyone’s game in the third. Shots were 16-12 Tampa in a wide open period that seemed to favor their style a bit more. My goal in the third was to go back to ground and pound, slow it down, and try to wear them down late. However, I came right out of the gate early and got them, as less than 30 seconds in Brassard found a cutting Nikitin for a sweet one-timer to give me a 4-3 lead: At this point I started playing a more conservative defensive style, forcing the Lightning to come to me and setting up some odd man rush situations. With about 12 to go Nash put what would be the finishing touch on the game, hammering in his second goal unassisted to stretch my lead to 5-3: For the remainder of the game I basically shut down the offense and played boring hockey, but I was in a good position and wanted to force the Lightning to play at my tempo. They were completely ineffective at it, and as time waned and the horn sounded, I had what in the end was a comfortable 5-3 win: Shots were 9-8 Jackets in the 3rd, 33-32 Tampa for the game. Faceoffs were also almost dead even at 17-16 Lightning. Both teams were 1/3 on the power play and did a good job of staying out of the box. This was a tough game for a while, but I controlled the second half of it on the way to a comfortable victory going away. Dekanich played well, the defense played pretty well, and the forwards from the lower lines put some pressure on and created a couple of goals. It was a good all-around team effort, which was critical since I now have to travel to St. Louis, Nashville, and Chicago, 3 places I struggle to win at all. Those games will be critical for the conference and divisional races (Detroit currently leads), so I am looking forward to those. Until then, goodnight from the Nationwide Arena, where the finals core was Columbus 5, Tampa Bay 3.

Charter Member Posts: 391 Group: Members Member #38 Joined: April 6, 2011	Game 33: Columbus at St. Louis After finally rebuilding some momentum on the homestand, it was time to start a road sweep through the division. At 18-12-2 (4-6) I had finally leapt back into the 8th playoff spot in the Western Conference and past St. Louis, who entered at 14-10-7 (6-4), last in the division and 12th in the West, but just 3 points behind me. The Blues entered the game healthy but down a couple of goaltenders, so I was interested in getting some pucks on net early to see what I could accomplish against Elliott. Mason was back after a game off so I was hoping that he could play strong and let me establish an early lead on the road. Methot was still out with the flu but I was healthy otherwise. I expected a fierce battle in this one, as both of us are fighting for our playoff spots right now, so it is off to the Scottrade Center to see how the road trip started. INJURIES: COLUMBUS: Methot out ST. LOUIS: Syvret out; Halak, Bishop fatigued GOALIES: COLUMBUS: Mason ST. LOUIS: Elliott Right off the bat, Elliott looked a bit shaky, so I doubled down and hammered it at him early. It paid off just 2 minutes in, as Brassard found Umberger to make it 1-0 on a one-timer. That combination has been heating up since Brassard returned to the lineup: However after that, everything went silent on offense for both teams. There was a lot of hitting and a lot of line changes, but that resulted in a heavily defensive style. Towards the end of the period, I got one power play chance when Backes went for roughing: It was expertly killed off by the Blues, however, and as the first horn sounded it was an old school hockey game thus far. I led in shots 8-4 and faceoffs were about even, but I felt in decent position on the road after a period where I liked the tempo. In the second, business picked up early. The Blues started the period with 2 quick penalties in under a minute to go down 2 men: As has been long standing, I hate 5-on-3 power plays because I never seem to be able to get one-timers. I frustratingly watched as the Blues killed off both penalties and returned to even strength re-energized. However I kept the pressure on and at the 7 minute mark Sobotka went for interference and I was back up a man: This time patiently moving the puck around did the trick, as Nash eventually found Johnson with a back pass that he blasted in to double the lead to 2-0 on the power play: At the 9 minute mark McDonald then went for roughing, and at the halfway point I was in firm control of the game: The Blues deftly killed off this penalty with some good blocked shots, only to see Backes go off moments later for cross-checking: Again the Blues, despite being tired and outnumbered, expertly cleared the puck and frustrated me repeatedly as Elliott came up with some great saves. I was getting good chances but I couldn’t put them in, which is basically a broken record for the season. As the period waned, a bad bounce caused me to eventually put the puck in my own net off a skate, which was credited to D’Agostini and cut the lead to 2-1 before the break: As the period ended the Blues had to feel like they had gotten out of jail. They were behind but only by a single goal despite the power play time I had. Shots were 13-9 Jackets and they had blocked several more. Entering the third I really felt like I had to clamp down or else I could be looking at a game slipping away. At the start of the third Carter went off immediately, but Backes quickly followed suit, which led to some 4-on-4 time: Nothing came of it and for the rest of the first half of the period it was much like the first, back and forth with little offense. However the Blues were slowly building momentum and by the time it was over it was another dreaded “that period” that would decide this game. At the halfway mark the Blues finally evened it up as Reaves found Berglund: At this point I was squarely on my heels and bad things started happening as the Blues started peppering pucks at Mason. I got several icing calls and finally Tyutin was sent off for roughing with 4 minutes to go: However I counterpunched by killing off the penalty despite half a dozen scoring chances. Mason played well during this stretch and I blocked several shots. As the period waned to the end it appeared we were headed to OT. However Berglund entered the zone, went for a shot that deflected, and then one-timed the quick rebound past a wrong-footed Mason with less than a minute to go to give the Blues a 3-2 lead: Jackman took a penalty with 30 seconds left, giving me slim hope of an equalizer: It was not to be, however, as the end horn sounded and the Blues celebrated a dramatic victory and I was angry at a bitter defeat: Shots were 18-8 Blues in the third, 31-29 for the game. Faceoffs were similarly even (20-19 Jackets) but the Blues controlled much of the final period. I held them to 0/2 on the PP but went just 1/7 myself and came up empty on a 2 man advantage. I played good defense at the end but the bad deflection directly cost me the game, as if I had not blocked the shot initially he never would have gotten a second crack at it. This loss was painful as it came to a division opponent on the road that is fighting for my spot. I have no time to really dwell, however, as it is off to hated Nashville next. Until then, goodnight from the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, where the final score was St. Louis 3, Columbus 2. [DOHTML] <table border="1"> <tr><td> ST.

Nashfan	Feb 20 2012, 06:32 PM Post #89
Charter Member Posts: 391 Group: Members Member #38 Joined: April 6, 2011	Game 34: Columbus at Nashville After letting one get away in St. Louis, stop #2 on the divisional road trip was at dreaded Nashville. The Predators have killed me for the better part of 2 years at the Bridgestone Arena, and bucking the trend coming off of a come-from-ahead loss would be difficult. The Preds entered the game healthy but struggling at 3-7 in their past 10. Still, at 16-8-9 overall they were tied for 6th in the Western Conference. At 18-13-2 (4-6), I was only 3 points behind them but tied for just 10th in the conference standings. Despite his poor record against Nashville I had mason in net. Rinne was fatigued for the Preds so I got Lindback, which I thought might open a door for an upset. Methot was also back after a lengthy absence so I was hoping for an uptick defensively. So off to the Bridgestone Arena to see if I could stick it to the hated Preds and steal one on the road. INJURIES: COLUMBUS: None NASHVILLE: Rinne fatigued; Bergfors out GOALIES: COLUMBUS: Mason NASHVILLE: Lindback It didn’t take long for the action to get going, as these games seem to be replete with bone-crushing hits and penalties. A little over 3 minutes in we each took one, as Smithson was off first and Aaron Johnson was quick to follow: The 4-on-4 didn’t really seem to favor either team, as both played defensive-minded hockey and neither really generated quality chances. For the remainder of the first half of the period not much happened. The around 12 minutes in Brassard was sent for roughing: In just 3 seconds, Smithson got the puck of the faceoff and hammered it past a helpless Mason to give the Preds a 1-0 lead: After having played such good PK minutes the past 10-15 games, all I could do was shake my head as I never got a chance to even try and kill this penalty off. Still, I held my own over the next 5 minutes and finally started to build some offensive pressure. The scrambling Preds went down a man when Wilson was sent with 3 to go before the horn: Some patience in the zone finally paid off for me with the man advantage as Carter wheeled around in the zone and found a cutting Prospal for the equalizer with just about 90 to go in the period: At the horn, it was anyone’s game as we ended at 1-1. Shots were 8-4 Preds in the period but neither team did much of anything outside of the actual goal scoring. There weren’t many stoppages but I was holding well on faceoffs and moving the puck well, so I felt pretty good entering the second. However it didn’t take long for the Preds to remind me where I was and how well I usually do there. Just 2 minutes in David Legwand, who might make the HOF on his games against me alone, took a pass from Tootoo and buried it to give the Preds a 2-1 lead: The Preds continued to push hard in the zone and control the puck, and I found myself scrambling just to clear and change lines. As a result I did nothing on offense either, and I was pretty much ripe for the pickings. At the 8 minute mark the Preds extended their lead when Wilson found Laakso for a one-timer to make it 3-1: About 90 seconds later Legwand found Weber for a howitzer to make it 4-1: As the game reached the halfway mark I was staggering and barely even in the game. When the lead reached 4-1 I was finally at least able to push back enough to get some pressure off of Mason and create a couple of chances in the Nashville zone. However Lindback was stingy this night and was making it very difficult to get back in the game. With 2 to go in the period Pahlsson took an elbowing penalty: The Preds were able to strike what appeared to be a fatal blow before the period ended as Suter found Weber for his second of the game to make it 5-1 heading into the intermission: As is often the case one period defines a game, and this one was basically a lost cause after the second. Shots were just 9-6 Predators but they were all good shots and obviously they cashed them in. I was having such a difficult time establishing anything in the zone that I basically saw no chance at making a comeback. I had also conceded 2 PP goals, which frosted me given how my PK had been playing. The third was more or less going through the motions. At the 7 minute mark I did pull one back as Wisniewski hit one to give my top line their second goal of the contest: It was really the last highlight for me. The rest of the period passed quickly and without incident. By the time that Carter took the final penalty of the game with 75 seconds left the game was well decided already: At the horn Lindback celebrated a victory in a rare appearance as the Preds had cruised to victory: Shots were 9-7 Nashville in a listless third, 26-17 overall for the game. I was ½ on the PP but gave up 2 in 3 chances for the Preds. I dominated faceoffs 16-8 but it did me no good. This loss combined with the last one in St. Louis really set me back some. I lost 2 division games and went from being right on the edge of the playoff race to mired in the third tier of teams battling for those final couple of spots as the race in the West remained a staggering 14-deep nearing the halfway point. I am really going to have to turn things around quickly, as the next game in Chicago will be against a better team and a team higher in the standings than either of these two that just beat me. I may change things up a bit and go with Dekanich next time out to finish the trip. Until then, goodnight from the Bridgestone Arena, where the game had a familiar tone and result as the final score was Nashville 5, Columbus 2.

Nashfan	Feb 21 2012, 10:42 PM Post #90
Charter Member Posts: 391 Group: Members Member #38 Joined: April 6, 2011	Game 35: Columbus at Chicago After being humbled at Nashville I concluded my trip with the toughest game yet, playing the Blackhawks in Chicago without my top goaltender. The Hawks entered at 20-11-4 (6-4) and tied for third in the Western Conference. At 18-14-2 (4-6) my 2 game slide had landed me in a tie for 11th. A few key players for the Hawks were out for this one, which gave me some faint hope that I might catch them on an off day. I desperately needed points in this game or I risked falling behind surging teams lower than me and down into 13th or 14th. Not much else to say by way of introduction, the Hawks are currently chasing the Wings for first in the division while I am fighting off St. Louis for 4th and I have a long way to go to get myself into any kind of comfortable position. To the United Center to see if I could conclude my divisional road trip with something. INJURIES: COLUMBUS: Mason fatigued CHICAGO: Montador, Scott, Kane, Leddy, Hjalmarsson, Toews out GOALIES: COLUMBUS: Dekanich CHICAGO: Crawford The first was a pretty wide open period as both teams got their share of opportunities. This was more of a modern game (as opposed to an old school one) that favored puck movement and speed as opposed to physical play, at least early on. At the 5 minute mark Bolland too the first penalty of the game, and I was up a man for the first time: I was unable to score on the actual power play, but some good puck work late in the last shift directly led to the first goal of the game just 3 seconds after the penalty concluded. Johnson did some nice board work and slid a pass to Prospal, who got a badly needed goal for himself to make it 1-0: The home side then began to push back, culminating in the equalizer just 3 minutes later as Olesz found Bickell to even it at 1 halfway through the period: The rest of the period was entertaining but contained no more scoring. Bolland took his second penalty of the period with just 30 seconds left, setting me up with 90 seconds of PP time to open the second: Otherwise as the horn sounded to end the first period it was an entertaining game tied at 1. Shots were 12-11 Chicago in the first and faceoffs were relatively even but I was doing pretty well. I had been in good position after a period in the last 2 games, so I was determined not to lose the game in the second this time around. Opening the second on the PP I failed to score but did get a couple of good chances and set the tone for the rest of the period. Defensively I was playing much better and I was keeping the puck in the offensive zone for a bit longer, which made it tougher on Chicago to get anything going the other way. At 7:30 Dorsett took a penalty and I was down a man for the first time: Fortunately for me my kill was good and Chicago failed to seize any momentum. In fact the Hawks took a penalty at 9 minutes and the threat passed: At 11 minutes Bolland took his third penalty of the contest, and I was back on the PP: This time I made it count, as Johansen put it in unassisted off a deflection to give me the lead again at 2-1 on the man advantage: Less than a minute later Bolland decided to watch some more, as he took penalty #4: This time the Blackhawk kill was stellar and I barely got anything going. Back and forth it went again for a few minutes after the 5-on-5 resumed, and then with a minute to go I stole one and stretched the lead late in the period, as Methot found a cutting Umberger with a fine pass to make it 3-1 on a one-timer: At the end of the period I was in control at 3-1. Shots were 15-6 in a period I mostly dominated and I was also winning the lion’s share of faceoffs and moving the puck pretty well. I was poised for a big victory if I could come out in the third and match the intensity Chicago was sure to show in the stretch run. And match it early I did. I played a more defense-oriented game, but I was trying to punch a counter-attack at every turn and 5 minutes in, Dekanich outleted the puck to Johnson, who sped down ice and found Pahlsson for a rare goal to make it 4-1 and put me in full control with 15 to go: Just a minute later Carter was off for a silly hooking penalty, and I was back down a man to give Chicago a glimmer of hope: I turned back a barrage of shots, however, and though I came close to giving one up I had Dekanich playing well and was able to clear it away. For the next 12 minutes or so the Blackhawks controlled the puck in a desperate attempt to get back in it, but by then the damage was more or less done. A penalty on Mayers in the last minute sealed it: As the final horn sounded, Dekanich had broken the losing streak by playing a very good third period and I had a badly needed road win: Shots were 16-6 Hawks in the third, 34-32 overall for the game. They were 0/2 on the PP and I was 1/5. I took the faceoff battle 22-12 and controlled the puck in the first 2 periods for significant stretches. This was a badly needed win to keep me in the hunt as the halfway mark looms. The teams in the West are all bunched up 1-12 or so, so it is important not to fall behind the pack or else it will be too many teams to pass even if the point differential isn’t all that daunting. Granted Kane and Toews were out, so it is hard to judge much from this win…the next game at home against Calgary might tell a better story, as they are one of the teams right above me in the standings. Until then, goodnight from the United Center, where the final score was Columbus 4, Chicago 1.
