"I want to be here," Foote said. "That's been made clear to Scotty by both me and my agent (Rick Curran). To my understanding, Scott Howson wants me to be here, too. So there we go."

I am officially giving up on trying to predict what this team will do. I'm at a loss.

Good win by the Blue Jackets. It also helped my other hockey team the Pens so I was very happy. Good defensive effort as Ottawa has the best offense in the league.
