HotCarl Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I got me a Brassard jersey a couple months ago. I want a Russell jersey, but they don't really make them yet. So i stoped by Columbus Gold to talk to my brother (whom works there) as im sitting at the bar waiting i see two decently well dressed guys walking on the other side of the bar. I know i recognize the short haired one but the other one walked into the bathroom before i got a good look. went over to talk to my buddy who was talking to them and sure enough it wad Derrick Brassard and Jarod Boll. I hate coming off like a crazy fan but i had to meet them. Seemed like great guys, real down to earth and cool. I asked Brassard how he was feeling and such (wasnt wearing a sling or anything) he said good and that its just healing up after the surgery now. He's like "yeah i hurt it in a fight" to which I responded "yeah I saw that, that guy was huge wtf were you thinking?" Definitly cool guys.

kenny Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Boll rocks. I'm with you on not wanting to be that guy that runs up like ZOMG, but I'd have to say what's up to him. When I was in Arizona we ran into Eric Byrnes at a bar and while we all knew who he was, none of us cared enough to be ZOMG YOU PLAY IN THE MAJORS. Dude seemed cool as hell, none the less.

ladyhawke34 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I'm uber excited for the Jackets and for the play-offs. There have been so many horrible games I've sat through over the years as well as great ones. I've been to a couple of play-off games in Nashville and Raleigh and you're all right, this city has no idea of what is to come. That barn on Nationwide Blvd will be rocking!

One of the guys I work with her sister hangs out with Brassard and is going to get him to sign my jersey for me and a couple of his rookie cards I have. Dorsett is another one of the really nice guys on the team. You wouldn't even think he's the kind of enforcer he is on the ice. If i were buying a jersey I would probably go with a Commodore jersey. That guy is badass. im watching the detroit game right now but know we lost 4-0, ouch. Yeah, I almost got a Commodore jersey, but I just love Brassard on the ice. I think I'll probably get a custom Russell jersey soon too, just so I can be the only one sporting one at Nationwide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main3s Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I'm looking forward to it as well! At first, they were just hoping to make it. Now I hear talks of trying to win home ice for the first round and make a run at least to the second! They've had pretty convincing wins as of late too which really goes to show what kind of team they are. It’s just odd for me to think of them as a playoff team. I mean the 1st 8 years Blue Jackets hockey to me was just something to do on a Friday/ Saturday night. Hell I don’t think I saw a winning game at nationwide for a while. And the fans are really getting into it! It’s goanna be GREAT! I’m going to try and get tickets if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use to have Federov and Zherdev come intot he club before, Ive even went to a few small after hours parties and they were there but I was never one to kiss their ass. Federov was cool and Zherdev was kind of an ass. Im sure I'll see Boll and/or Brassard again but im sure they just want to go somewhere to relax and not talk about hockey. Then again we saw a dozen or so Boston Bruins at Gordon Biersh last week, my buddy had no problem asking them if they wouldnt mind taking a breather and laying down that tue night when they played the jackets. He's an ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotCarl Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Holy shit! Jackets were awful and deserved a loss...but came away with it anyway! I heard from numerous people and believe it myself. In past season's we would be the ones clinching the 1pt lead the whole game just to blow it with 3 goals in the last 3 minutes of play. Fucking awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyhawke34 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 With that win last night, that puts us firmly in 6th place and pretty much clinching a play-off spot as we are 7points from 9th place St. Louis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 We sold our season tickets, but the other people we went in on them with kept their two seats I think. I'll gladly drop money on a first round game and possible Cup game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verse Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 would you rather play Calgary or Vancouv? If I had to choose between the two it'd be Calgary, but I'd rather play Detroit or San Jose. Vancouver has been getting really hot lately and Luongo has finally looked like he did at the beginning of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
