Blue Jackets 2, Flames 1, SO

Posted March 18, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Cam Atkinson,  Steve Mason,  Curtis Sanford,  Nikita Nikitin,  Matt Stajan
TEAMS: Columbus Blue Jackets,  Calgary Flames,  Edmonton Oilers
Cam Atkinson scored the shootout winner and Steve Mason made 28 saves after coming in for an injured Curtis Sanford as the Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Calgary Flames 2-1 on Sunday night. Nikita Nikitin scored for Columbus, which was playing on back-to-back nights. The Blue Jackets lost 4-3 Saturday night in Vancouver. Matt Stajan scored for Calgary (34-26-13), which snapped a four-game home winning streak. It was a costly weekend for Calgary's playoff aspirations in the congested Western Conference. The Flames remained in 11th place after dropping two straight, including Friday's 3-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. Sanford was hurt early in the first period and did not return.

Mason trying bigger equipment in goal

Via Fox Sports Ohio  |  March 18, 2012
If clothes make the man, does equipment make the goaltender? Blue Jackets goaltender Steve Mason, mired in a funk since his trophy-winning rookie season, believes that bigger equipment could pave his return to glory. On Feb. 11, Mason changed every bit of equipment except his helmet. His pads got bigger, his glove got bigger ... his pants even were expanded for a looser more comfortable...

CALGARY, Alberta (AP) -- Cam Atkinson scored the shootout winner and Steve Mason made 28 saves after coming in for an injured Curtis Sanford as the Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Calgary Flames 2-1 on Sunday night.

Johansen more comfortable at center

Via Fox Sports Ohio  |  March 20, 2012
Blue Jackets rookie Ryan Johansen still seems out of place on a checking line. But at least he's playing center, his natural position. It's been an underwhelming and, at times, bizarre season for Johansen, the Blue Jackets' No. 4 overall pick in 2010. In 57 games, he's had nine goals, 10 assists and a minus-1 rating -- not awful numbers for a rookie -- but it'...

Blue Jackets Interested in Forsberg, Not Yakupov

Via Speculative Sports  |  March 18, 2012
A new chapter may have just been added to the Columbus Blue Jackets’ season. According to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun, Jackets general manager Scott Howson is more interested in selecting Filip Forsberg first overall and not Nail Yakupov. From Garrioch: Apparently, if Columbus GM Scott Howson is still employed by the Jackets come draft day, he plans to use the No. 1 pick to...

Game 71: Columbus Blue Jackets Thoughts

Via Benched Whale  |  March 17, 2012
Before the start of every season, my ticket holder buddies and I get together to split up our pack of Canucks tickets. Everyone has their favorite teams they want to watch so the first few rounds of picks go fast and then you get stuck with the tickets no one wants. Sometimes the games picked last end up being good games to watch (Carolina a few years ago after that long losing streak...

Video- Sneaky Elbow From Boll

Via Kukla's Korner  |  March 19, 2012
from Vicki Hall and John Down of the Calgary Herald, Brent Sutter was seething behind the bench Sunday night after Jared Boll escaped with a minor penalty for an illegal check to the head on Alex Tanguay. The video replay shows Boll delivered a blatant elbow to Tanguay’s face, knocking the Calgary forward out for the second period. Already battling a chronic neck problem, Tanguay...

Screwdiver

Via Light The Lamp  |  March 19, 2012
    This will be a quick game recap due to time but the Jackets stole one last night against the Flames by a final of 2-1 in the shootout.  That point loss could come back to haunt the Flames and screw them out of a final playoff spot.  So sad.  Not really.  1. In a month where the game recap theme is "dive" -- how could I not go with that sweet pic of Cam Atkinson...
