Thrashers vs Columbus Blue Jackets

The SOBs (Sons of Blueland of course) were back in town for some action against the Blue Jackets. Me and like 150 other loyal fans were there to welcome them. I had two signs. A happy birthday sign for Toby, whose birthday was November 5 and a Chuck Norris sign.


Why Chuck Norris? Check this out.

Best news of the night, this was Ondrej Pavelec's first home start since fainting on opening night.



Of course Zach and Toby ignored my signs all night.



Nik checked them out.



Welcome to Blueland, Noah Welch. Not only is Noah cute, he's smart. Noah played hockey for four seasons with Harvard University. In news of the odd...he decided to donate his brain to concussion research at The Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy at the Boston University School of Medicine after his death. Okay then!



HA! Caught you ya little Swedish bastard. Toby is totally looking at my happy birthday sign.



Zach is not. He is however sporting the beginnings of his Movember mustache.



Two of our finest acquisitions from Chicago, Dustin Byfuglien and Andrew Ladd.



Nik and his fabulous hair.



Swarming the goalie.



Another douche bag texting.



Hey, that's no ordinary douchebag, that's Bryan Little! Actually Bryan is not being a douchebag, it's not game time yet. Funny story, I'm walking to my seat and I see Little sitting there and point him out to Randy. As I do so, he looks at me, so I just wave like I've known him forever. He waved back, lol. Me an Bryan are BFFs.



Getting ready for action, how good is Garon going to be tonight? So good he can fucking FLY! Eat your heart out David Blaine.



Opening face off.



Hainsey defending the crease. *Insert Joke Here*



Burmi all alone in front of the net.



Now we've got some guys in the right spot!



The guys have some discussions.



The guys making Garon earn his money. Unfortunately he did. Here he is making a nice kick save.



Burmi is open!



How many Thrashers does it take to guard the crease? Apparently 5 is still not enough.



Pavs played his ass off, seeing 42 shots.



As the Thrashers were taking it hard to the net, Eager (I think it was Eager) puts a shot on net and blows the lid right off of Garon's head.



Eager checking out Garon. Garon is checking out his face to make sure it's still intact.



Bogosian clearing the crease, literally.



Pavs: Can I get some help out here??



More action in front of Pavs.



I don't know what's up either, Thrash. Thrasher Thrash has his Movember stache started too.



We just can't get it out of our zone.


Thrashers lose 3-0. Boo.
