Bobcat’s Post Game Notes, Blue Jackets vs. Rangers
Jackets lose, 3-0 to the New York Rangers.
-It’s a wonderful night for some Columbus Blue Jackets hockey. The NWA is rockin’ as usual. Hopefully we can make this a good show.
-I got a picture with Stinger, a picture with the Cannon, and most importantly, I GOT MY JERSEY SIGNED BY JODY SHELLEY HIMSELF. He absolutely loved my custom-made jersey with his name on the back, he had a big smile on his face as he signed it. Even got a few high fives from fans as I ran back up the stairs. If you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go and cry.
-We’re starting Michael Hutchinson in net tonight. When I stopped doing these on a game-by-game basis, I never thought I would say that. God help us…
-This looks to be a defensive struggle in the first few minutes. Both goalies have had their shots against, but it’s been nice.
-A power play! Vinny Trocheck tripped Johnny, so he goes to hockey prison.
-We were relentless, but Igor Shestyorkin shut us down. He’s looked great this year, and I’m not even sure if he’s getting a nomination for the Vezina this year. Goaltending has been THAT good this year.
-Emil Bemstrom does Emil Bemstrom things and turns over the puck, that leads to a goal by Jimmy Vesey. As soon as we saw the turnover, my dad and I said “Uh oh” and “Sh*t” respectively. We knew what was coming.
-A goal-mouth scramble somehow happens without Hutch in the middle of it, and the score is now 2-0. This is why trading Korpisalo and Gavrikov was (and still is) a terrible f*cking idea.
-Robinson with a breakaway, but the defender (whoever it was, I couldn’t see their number) shuts it down with ease. Gave a bunch of us a scare there.
-End of the period. Could have been worse, but that’s not to say it was good. It could easily be 4-0, but Hutch has been moderately solid. He has the consistency of Jell-O tonight.
-It always gets me hype when the DJ plays Narco at an obnoxiously loud volume as the second period starts. ALWAYS.
-Now we’re on the PK. Kenny got caught with a slashing call that I completely missed. Let’s get it going.
-We kill it off easy, and as the clock stops, Hutch makes a flashy glove snag. Good stuff, we could have used that expertise 2 goals ago.
-If I told you the Nationwide Arena had a “Pizza Alarm” and started giving out pizza, would you believe me? It was pizza time at the NWA.
-In a lull period in the game, I turned to my dad and asked him “How much longer until Jacob Trouba tries to kill someone?” It seemed too peaceful.
-The Jersey Cam came on next. They showed like 7 Gaudreau jerseys, and that was it. Lol.
-Sean Kuraly receives a bad pass, loses his footing, and that leads to a rush the opposite way. Can you tell I’m grasping at straws here for stuff to talk about?
-Eric Robinson is hurt, and it’s Niko Mikkola’s fault. Robbie’s off to the locker room, and Mikkola is… allowed back in the game? That was BLATANT elbowing.
-A close shave as the second period ends, but no goal. Please don’t get shut out tonight. Not while I’m in attendance.
-Filip Chytil goes between his legs, but somehow, someway, Hutch shuts him down. Your room is reserved at Hutch’s Hut of Misery.
-An odd defensive breakdown leads to another goal that wasn’t Hutch’s fault. Worst part is, it wasn’t even Boqvist’s fault like how it usually is: Bjork and Berni were on the ice. Lol.
-Johnny had a breakaway but decided to get cute with it and lose possession. This is not what we’re paying you for.
-I will never understand how Delay of Game is called. A player accidentally sends the puck over the boards, and that is called DoG. It really should be reviewable.
-Someone in my section just started chanting “WE WANT BEDARD”. Lol.
-Noted axe murderer Jacob Trouba gets two minutes for hooking Kurls on a breakaway. Probably should have been a penalty shot but we’ll take what we can get at this point.
-We played half of the PP like it was a PK. This is what happens when Adam Boqvist is your powerplay quarterback.
-Two minutes left in an otherwise over game and they haven’t pulled Hutch yet. Hmmmm…
-One more insurance goal with 20 seconds left to really rub salt in the wound. Thanks, *ssholes.
-…We got shut out. Not the best way to spend your night, but at least i got my jersey signed by a Jackets legend. That’s the best part of my entire life now.
