CBJ Game 33: "No Way..."

The Columbus Blue Jackets, spinning their wheels and watching the 8th seed in the Western Conference slip further and further away, hosted the Calgary Flames last night and pulled together a solid effort to win in regulation.

They haven't been doing so well, and of course this game wasn't televised so I didn't catch it. The highlights (like every game in the NHL) are online though, so, here we go.

Living up to their rather appropriate theme, the Blue Jackets played hard and pulled out the win. Encouragingly, they improved to an astounding 13-2 when scoring first.

Let's take a look at some good, "diggin' in" play.



Look at that. Something I haven't seen in a long while. There's good 'ol Boll, sitting there and the puck spurts out and with a crushing motion throws that puck in the back of the net.

It's not near enough to get them back into contention, but it sure is a start. The next game sees the Jackets hosting the Vancouver Canucks and the Sedin Twins. Last time the 2 met, it ended in a swift OT goal against Columbus.

You can catch it on FSO Thursday at 7:30.
