Blue Jackets Buzz – Homestretch
Well as you have noticed we haven’t posted on here in quite some time. Now we have UV working and I don’t mean ultra-violet. You guessed it I mean Umberger and Vermette. These guys have really stepped up in the last few games for us. The Vermette trade is looking like a nice move so far. Thank you Mr. Scott Howson! We got rid of our glass goaltender and we have a solid top 6 center now! Nothing against Pazzy at all, but I think the change will help him. We just couldn’t rely on him in the long-run. Plus you have Mason in place and LaCosta and LaLande down in AHL rounding out the goalie depth.
Speaking of trades does anyone else think that Klesla should go? Personally I think we should get him off the books and use some of our money to sign a better D-man option for us. We will see about that in the off-season most likely. He just isn’t himself anymore. Last season he started to look stronger and more confident, playing a more simple, smarter game. Now he looks hesitant making nice plays every once in a while, and more often looking like a deer in headlights…
So as we get down the stretch here. 11 games left… We could potentially move up further in the standings. But 3 more vs. Chicago, 3 more against St. Louis… These inter-divisional games are looking even more important.
We will hopefully have some good updates after the Florida trip…
Quick must watches for CBJ fans.
