Minnesota Wild @ Columbus Blue Jackets: Game 53

PrintMinnesota Wild at Columbus Blue Jackets, Feb 7, 2012 6:00 PM CST
Minnesota Wild (25-19-8) at Columbus Blue Jackets (14-32-6)
Nationwide Arena @ 6:00 PM CST
Television: FSN+
Listen Live at: KFAN (100.3) or Wild.com
For the Columbus perspective, check out The Cannon
The Columbus Blue Jackets are a mystery wrapped in an enigma and served with a side of WTF. Looking at the names skating with the offense, the Jackets should be a scoring machine. Rick Nash and Jeff Carter are tasked with carrying this team, but it seems the woes of the defense and goaltending have spread throughout the team.
All of that is really too bad. The Jackets have a passionate fan base that gets zero credit for the way they support their team, mostly due to the face that the team is just never very good. The Columbus area remains one of the places on the NHL map where people look at it and say, "Really? There's a team there?" A winning team would get rid of that, and the fans deserve that.
The state of the Jackets this year is as big a surprise as any other team in the league. If you predicted the Jackets to be in dead last, raise your hand. Now, anyone who isn't fooling themselves into thinking they made that prediction, keep your hand up. Anyone left? Didn't think so.
Still, the Jackets have been the bane of their expansion brethren since the beginning. Nash is a Wild killer extraordinaire. No matter the position of these two teams, the Wild need to be ramped up for a tough battle. The two teams tend to bring out the worst in each other. Fights, bad hits, and chippy plays from both sides are to be fully expected tonight.
The news sounds like Mikko Koivu remains out, Niklas Backstrom starts. Kassian in for Brad Staubitz. Everything else looks to remain the same. This lineup played well against the Stars, save for a bumbling Marke Zidlicky coming back from his time off. The guess has to be if he looks like he did in Dallas, he won't be in the lineup again come Thursday.
Should be a fun one, folks.
PLEASE NOTE FSN+ TONIGHT. FSN+. NOT FSN, FSN+. ONE MORE TIME: FSN+.
Five Questions:
- Can the Wild avoid playing down to the opponent?
- Is there a way to stop the Wild Killer?
- Can Backstrom continue to hold his team in the game?
- Is tonight the night Christensen makes his presence felt?
- First game for Gillies against the Wild. How does he respond?

Well
We had Peters centering the first line at one point, so we can’t really say anything.

Pretty sure I won't be able o watch this game.
I live in Cleveland so I’m thinking it’ll be blacked out on gamecenter live and the local station is showing the Cavs game… Damnit!
if its on game center,
you should be able to get the Minnesota feed. I think anyway. I havent heard of NHL games being blacked out.
On GCL, they do blackout games broadcasted locally.

I’ve found it impossible to spoof my location on my computer to get around the blackout. Location spoofing on an android device is quite simple though. So here I am watching the game on my 4 inch samsung… not optimal but it works.

Cannon participation has really dropped off lately. There’s a few of us that generally show up most games, any early season excitement has long since gone. I’m guessing big-draw games for Ohio (like the Red Wings, Blues, Preds) would bring a bigger crowd at this point. It was a pretty lively place to start the season…
CCT, CBJ, SU, NYM, Bills Fan. It can be depressing.
Sometimes I tweet things
That said, the proper Cannon writers are still as active as ever, so there’s plenty of stuff to see, even if it’s not the crowd on game nights.
CCT, CBJ, SU, NYM, Bills Fan. It can be depressing.

Besides the idea that Carter is likely to be moved, it’s all speculation at this point. The Kings and Leafs have both been mentioned a few times, but they always seem to show up in Big Name Player talk.

Thats part of the problem with our team....

As I have pointed out many times, these guys are taught to shoot from the time they are 5. Then they get to the NHL and stop. I don’t get it.

Heater, Brodz & Johnson
If the “first line” doesn’t make it happen tonight, do you think Yeo is more inclined to break it up and put Koivu back with Heater on Thurs?
Agreed
My concern is that EC is one of those players that really should play with top talent. Not really effective with the grinders, much like Wellman. Mixed with what many call low confidence in himself/game.
.... This is a depressing game.

Hank got his foot hurt from a slapper in the 1st, but he seems fine now. He also scored, so there’s that…
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!
-nashvillepredators-
he is just rope-a-dopping your team.
act hurt early, that way teams wont key on him. then he can be the silent killer.
Wow...
When will Zidlicky stop plaguing us? Our record with him in the lineup is terrible. And playing him to “showcase” him isn’t doing anyone any good right now.
Proud Sioux Falls Stampede Season Ticket Holder and #1 Nate Prosser Fan! Go Wild!
That's obvious
But getting rid of him would be a step in the right direction.

Sigh...the Wild are just sad right now
This is a team that has won 14 games in 4 months…good Lord.
Gillies may get an assist too. Insult to injury

At least Havlat's board climbing incident was very loserific.

Indeed.
We will be able to look back on that this year and smile :)
Being from Minnesota, it would be rude to put something clever here.
Trade Zidlicky for Zamboni transmission fluid
That even might be too much to ask

Seriously
CF needs to lower the price on Zids to a bag of pucks. Maybe a free dinner.
Setoguchi – Powe – Christensen line is not working. On for two goals against.

Master of unsustainable passive regression.
Its no coincidence that San Jose was willing to part with him.
I didn’t want him and feared that trade. I do like that Coyle was part of it but not Seto in general. I figured he’d be J. Cheecho 2.0
Which is more pathetic?
The Predators meltdown last week, or possibly losing to TR and the worst team in the NHL?
Bryan Vickroy has an addiction to hockey, and is willing to partake in all its forms. Mock draft prognosticator extraordinaire for The Sports Bank.
This game
The Nashville game was actually good for the first 50 minutes or so

Nashville
We always play pathetic against the BJs
agreed....
never seem to come to work against these guys…. being up 4-1, with 10 min left, thats just depressing….
This is more pathetic.
By far. At least we played well for 50 minutes against Nashville.
We haven’t played quality hockey in this game for a single freakin’ minute.
Tonight for sure
Against the Preds, you just had a feeling they were going to wake up. Just so happened, it was at the same time we fell asleep [harder].
Being from Minnesota, it would be rude to put something clever here.
this could be motivating at least
The Nashville game was a soul killer that nothing good come from

id rather be shitty all game
Rather than brilliant at times and lose in a fashion that almost never happens in hockey.

Like I said above, pretty predictable terrible game
They were probably counting on Koivu and when it was announced he wasn’t playing, they just gave up
Yep
Editor:Hockey Wilderness Swarm Beat Writer:In Lax We Trust Now with more Twitterness: ReynoldsSBN
Master of unsustainable passive regression.
The new lines aren't working very well.
Heater-Koivu-Johnson for sure next game, who knows about the rest of the lines, everyone besides Johnson has been pretty bad tonight.
2 on 1...
And the Blue Jacket’s “Minnesota Wild” it…
Being from Minnesota, it would be rude to put something clever here.
Well that was a good penalty though
Nash was scoring

10 minutes left... let's pull something out of a hat and score.
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!

we dont even deserve a point for this game

:( man, that sucks
I’ve really started to get emotionally attached to the Wild, too, so that’s painful to hear.
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!
-nashvillepredators-
The injuries have got to be just sucking the life out of them. Nashville usually has CONSTANT issues with that, and it’s draining on the players. They just look less confident sometimes.
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!
-nashvillepredators-
yeah, but no team has had the injury issues like the Wild have.
38 different players have laced them up for the wild this season. plus, right now, we have 3 of our top 6 players out with injuries. Pitt has come close to what we are dealing with….
Well, we're doing our best to beat Vancouver for you guys.
Tits just scored, so now it’s 3-2.
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!
-nashvillepredators-
TIED!
Luongo just scored on himself, hahahahaha.

He got it between his legs, but then kicked the puck in with his skate as he tried to move.

4 minutes left, down by 2
And Wild are playing like they have a 2 goal lead.
Jebus.

Master of unsustainable passive regression.
We all knew this already...
…but in this game it is painfully obvious how the Wild have no depth of offensive skill…so bad.
Lived in MN my whole life, and I LOVE it! Big fan of all things hockey, but especially the Wild. Actively pursuing success in ultimate and bowling (oh yeah work too).

I think a big question is how many more times can they go through games like this?
Yeo must be ready to have a stroke.
I know it's not just Zids....
But watching the highlight of BJs first goal tonight, I’m just pissed watching how Zids played it.

If it wasn't so sad [for us]...
It would be funny [like it is to everyone else]

What's the opposite of FTW?
cuz that’s Zids

WTF?
And that seems an appropriate acronym.

Zidlicky had no goddamn business being on the ice in the first place
I get they might be trying to showcase him to potential trade suitors, but what is there to showcase in this mess of a player?

Yuck!!
I think i need to take a long shower after that. I feel dirty just knowing I watched this game.
Wild lose.
LA win.
That just fucked our chances of jumping into 7th.

With the way Columbus was hitting everything
Dressing Koivu would have been a horrible idea

It always is. The guy's a competitor.
Plus, he probably knows as well as we do how much the Wild suck without him.

I wouldn't mind this.
