We bet Maurice Clarrett is a big Columbus fan

By Brad Lee

What a waste of a game. Making convicts in Ohio like Maurice Clarrett watch BJ games is cruel and unusual punishment and should not be allowed.

I predict the comments in the third period will be sparse, especially with the Pats threatening and down by 10 in the fourth quarter.

Touchdown Wes Welker. And now New England, which came in as a six-point favorite on the road at the defending Super Bowl champions is down three with about eight minutes to play.

17:13 Blues getting lots of ugly chances, but nothing in the net yet. Apparently the gameplan right now is get it on net, Leclaire isn't that good. Of course when Ryan Johnson is doing some of the shooting, he might as well be Patrick Roy circa 1993.

Football: Manning was sacked hard on third down and fumbled, but the Colts fell on the ball. Mr. Fabulous Tom Brady gets the ball at his own 49 yard line with 3:58 to play, down by three. Interesting.

Football: Dreamboat to Kevin Faulk, TOUCHDOWN. Wow, that didn't take long. 3:15 is left. Mr. Commercial now gets the ball down by four at home. You can feel the worry in the RCA Dome.

11:35 Blues still down 2-0. Baaaaack to football.

Manning fumbled the ball away and New England is nearly finishing a great win that will really lead people to start talking about 16-0.

Oh, and the Blues are now down 3-0. Sweet.

OK, folks, this is two substandard performances in a row, four points lost to teams that the Blues should have beaten, four points lost against divisional rivals, four points lost because the power play has been completely and utterly ineffective.

I am officially asking the question, â€œwhat the f***?â€

Granted wins are good any way you can get them, but are they really going to build a fan base in Columbus playing like that? Ugly, just like the Blues’ play against them.

Wonderful final four periods in back to back games before going on a mini-vacation.

If Salvador was a healthy scratch (I always thought “healthy scratch” was something a batter did when he stepped out of the batter’s box) for two games a few weeks ago because of poor play, then shouldn’t the Blues leave Jackman in the press box for a few games too?

Sean’s comment of only going with one defenseman on the PP, or all 5 forwards would be nice in theory, but I’m a big fan of having two defensemen back there to avoid a shorthanded 2 on 1 with Weight, Kariya, or another forward being the only one back.

Didn’t matter on Saturday. One of our best defensive defensemen fell down and gave Sharp the breakaway. PP is a chance to pour on offense, not be conservative. So, pours it on, I say.

Hey there, just thought it was only fair for you to know some of the quotes in your blog were replied to at the website link I left. A Blue Jacket’s perspective on some of the things said. Hope you don’t mind! Besides, in a way, it’s publicity for your blog! :)
