Blue jackets vs. Nashville

The Blue Jackets lost last night 2-0, but it was still a good game.

Nashville is quickly becoming a rival with their guys talking smack before the game.

He looks like a little kid here being held down

And then of course after the Nashville player by the name of Tootoo roughed up a couple of our players the other night, everyone at Nationwide was ready to see him get some pay-back.

The last time we played Nashville our “enforcers’ aka fighters were out with injuries so Tootoo went after a couple of guys that don’t fight. After he tried to beat them up he skated around the ice with his fingers up in the air (two on each hand- 2-2). It was childish and Hitch called it a “clown show”.
But last nights game was different, Jared Boll was back and took him on.

Tootoo ended up here

and then they both got 5 for Fighting

Boll

Tootoo didn’t mess with anyone the rest of the game.

In fact their other guy that was doing a lot of talking pre-game, Darcy Hordichuk was thrown over the side onto our bench and onto Rick Nash’s lap by Jason Chimmera- the blue jackets player that was beaten up by Tootoo in the last game. I didn’t get my camera out fast enough for that one, too bad because it was right in front of us. Hordichuk was out for the rest of the game.

Boll, shortly after getting out of the penalty box- loved that he sat on the bench backwards and looked up into the crowd. The fans love him.

One more home game that I don’t think we are going to be able to attend because the boys have lacrosse games.

I’m sad we didn’t make the play-offs but excited for next year. Go jackets!
