Orlov has asked caps to trade him

Wasn't that the name of the Russian bad guy who Jolie kills in Salt?

Good lord the Jackets are terrible

Today's team is. Next game will be a completely different group of guys.




I think this one is a big nail in Richards' coffin.

I'm switching over to watching "The Wire" because I need something more inspiring and uplifting to watch than Jackets hockey.

Getting on the road tomorrow early. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone (Available in the US only - Canuckians, happy Thursday!). And remember; the Turkey is compliments of the Blue Jackets forecheck.

Orlov has asked caps to trade him

I don't know what has happened with Orlov - he had a nice stint with us over a year ago and has barely been back since. I like him a lot, but it seems like the D-men they've been using have a different build and skill set than Orlov.


More importantly - Martin Erat wants to be traded!!

Thank god this complete piece of shit is willing to waive his NTC. Now the only issue is trying to find a place for a $4.5 million cap hit forward that can't score or set up goals. He's saying the following:

"Since day one, I didn't get the chance here," Erat told the Washington Post on Monday. "I got traded here to be a top-six player but never got the chance, never played more than 15 minutes in here, and it's time for me to move on."

First off - bullshit. He played more than 15 minutes in 5 of his first 9 games here late last year and in 3 games in the playoffs against the Rangers before the coach wisely realized 'oh, this guy isn't adding anything.'

These kind of players irk me to no end - oh, poor me, I'm getting paid more than $4 million and I'm going to blame my lack of performance on the team and my role. He's played more than 300 minutes this year - and scored ZERO goals. And I can't even think of a single time where I though 'oh, he was close there.' He dangles around, doesn't make anything happen, and loses the puck. He's an over-rated, past-his-prime player without much character or any strong part to his game. We should get rid of him. And the GM should be fired for bringing him on this team and letting guys like Ribeiro and Perreault slip out the door.

Congrats, Martin Erat. Matt Cooke, Brad Marchand, Alex Semin - you're off the hook. Erat is now by far my least favorite player of all-time. I hope he spills hot gravy all over his crotch tomorrow.

Fleury has to be the worst puck-handling goalie in the NHL.


Speaking of bad goalie play, Holtby pretty weak tonight. They should have just put one of these up...

Did anyone catch the Canadian Anthem in the Jets/Isles game?

I want to know if it's as bad as people are making it out to be.

Eloco ... Booth for erat has been talked to death on radio here

Both have 1 year remaining after this one at about a 4.5 cap hit. The logic from some canucks fans is u can buy erat out at season end if it doesnt work just as is likely going to be done with booth anyways

I wouldnt touch erat though. Never been a fan since preds days and though mcphee blew the trade for him when it was made

As far as booth goes at the very least he can provide energy. He will prob leave the canucks and next season have a revelation year like mason raymond since he will finally have a full off season of training his legs and edpecially his torn up ankle

But fear not , unlike booth , erats actual salary drops to 2.5 next year so with a 4.5 cap hit you know there will be a scum franchise out there who will want him on their team to make the floor
