Dintrox12 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I don't hold out much hope for this team. The Red Wings are still the powerhouse contender in the central. now the 'hawks look like they have turned the corner. They have some players interesting like Huselius that might shine and Leclaire will steal them a few wins. (why oh why get rid of zherdev and hainsey ) me thinks the owners are cheap...

Johnny_rudeboy Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Goalie Steve Mason named NHL rookie of the month Steve Mason's first full month in the NHL ended in style. The Columbus Blue Jackets goalie was named the league's top rookie in November after posting a 5-2-1 record. Mason was recalled from the American Hockey League on Nov. 4 and earned victories in his first three starts. The 20-year-old ended up with a 2.09 goals-against average, .919 save percentage and two shutouts in eight appearances. He's the second straight Columbus player to receive the top rookie honour after forward Derrick Brassard took it in October. Source: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=395653 Columbus sure has some good young players in their system with Mason, Brassard and Voracek already with the parent club and Nikita Filatov developing in the wings. The parent club has a solid, young defence core in Rostislav Klesla (26), Fedor Tyutin (25), Ole-Kristian Tollefsen (24), Marc Methot (23), and Kris Russell (21) which should only get stronger with experience.

SteenIsThaFuture Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Does anyone know why Voracek's ice time was cut?? He was flying out of the gates but hes been 3rd and 4th lines for the last little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was flying out of the gates but hes been 3rd and 4th lines for the last little while. I am not sure but it may be because he has tallied points in only 4 of his last 14 games.

SteenIsThaFuture Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I am not sure but it may be because he has tallied points in only 4 of his last 14 games. Thats the thing though, he was prodcuing before that stretch and the only reason forn his slump is because he lost his ice time. Maybe Hitcock dosn't like his defensive play otherwise it makes zero sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Hitcock dosn't like his defensive play otherwise it makes zero sense. Well I can't see it being his defensive game either. He is +7 (tied for 2nd on the team) on the season and has only had six -1 games out of the 24 he has played. That is pretty sound especially for a 19 year old.

Plus-Minus is a terrible way to evaluate a player defensively though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny_rudeboy Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I doubt the Blue Jackets should trade Mason now.

Johnny_rudeboy Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Steve Mason activated off IR, Dan LaCosta sent back down to the AHL http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=409164 Five day recovery after being put on IR for mono. They must have wonder drugs to deal with this disease these days. I really don't understand the urgency as 22-year-old LaCosta went 2-0 with a 1.54 GAA and a .950 save percentage in his first two NHL games replacing Mason.

At only 33 he is a big centre who is good in the face off circle (62% this season in the games played). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
