yup.


manny malhotra will suit up.

toss in a few lineup shakeups (or at least on the pregame slots) should make it interesting. then toss in blundens cbj debut and recently acquired stralman also. dorsett in.

juice/vem/nash
fialtov*/brass/jake
chimmer/phalsson/umberger
torres/blunden/dorsett

id expect the nikita raffi to flip around and be very situational. brass move partially tied to big joe and partially to his play.


for the record hordichuk got a (small) fine.

OK, do we have two really good goalies or was the shutout just a fluke?

career 2.83 gaa and .905 save percentage. (and he catches right, paddles left-like mason. should provide more continuity in play).

long story short, likely best backup columbus has ever had. hes a backup plus or light starter. sort of a career tweener.

Probably one of the better backups in the league, no? I'd give him top 5 status as far as backups go.

as the right handed catch goes not a doubt in my mind. (that is the minority approach as most netminders catch left).

toss in as i mentioned both goalies paddle right (which should do away with some of the miscommunication, silly mistakes, etc in puckhandling). i also think the dave rook move was a good move, last year there was no goaltending for mase after the incident. also with pazzy's injury and the dubie acquisition well there wasnt much for the franchise to lean on, including when mason had mono.

8 Oct: San Jose 6,Columbus 3

Isn't sports great?
