Notes

  • Marian Gaborik is still out with that lower body injury.
  • Jacques Lemaire reiterated today that defenseman Brent Burns will continue as a winger for awhile.
  • Columbus beat Buffalo 6-1 last night. It will be important to not let them get out early.
  • Oh, and since we've likely already forgotten about the whining, here's a bit from Light the Lamp. "You better believe the Jackets haven't forgotten that hose job by the stripes in last time they were in Minnesota. That should be all the motivation this squad needs to get up for that one. Time to for a little payback"

Questions to Answer

  1. With Burns at the forward again, will the defense play yet another very solid game?
  2. Does Rick Nash continue to be an immovable object?
  3. Will the power play stick with whatever new technique they used against Phoenix to great success?
  4. Will the line shakeup start to click in game two?
  5. Does Backstrom continue his Jedi mind trick to see the game in slow motion?

You know, every other coach would be fired for pulling this stunt with your star defenseman.

Hockey blogging can't get any flatter.
