Statistical odds and ends, courtesy of the NHL.com Event Summary for the 10/7/11 game: Marc Methot had only 15:33 TOI, the least of the entire D corps, though he was far from the worst.

Game 76: Jackets lose in the shootout… wait, no they don't!
For the first time in what feels like eons, the Blue Jackets did what seemed improbable. In fact, they did several things that have otherwise eluded them lately: scored multiple times at home, won at home, and won in the shootout. After losing six straight shootouts, a collective breath of relief was released after Maksim …
Game 60: The Natural pulls off the trick
On a night when the Jackets were ten minutes late to their own party, Matt Calvert stole the show. The game started as oh-so-many this year, down in an 0-2 hole just eight minutes into the game after a couple of unfortunate, ugly goals. But RJ Umberger’s 20th goal got them on the board and …
Game 58: Damn it feels good to be a gangsta

Patrick Sharp scored two goals, giving him seven for the year against the Union …

Tyutin took three penalties in the game, the first of which turned into a Brad Richards goal from the corner. Luckily for the Jackets, Matt Calvert popped a Kari Lehtonen rebound right past him and into a wide-open …
Game 52: Jackets slip on Oil, but recover nicely
 It started off ugly, and much like many nights the Columbus Blue Jackets have seen this year: lazy defensive plays, penalty trouble, screened shots, and a 2-0 opponent lead before the first period had even settled down. RJ Umberger ignited some life into the team late in the first when some criss-crossing plays with …
Game 51: D-Town Down & Out
Due to a roller derby commitment, I’m watching this game on a sixteen hour delay, so have some observation notes on last night’s game versus Detroit: – Kristian Huselius was a healthy scratch. He became the eleventh player on the current roster to fall victim to Arniel’s willingness to sit his expensive underachievers. – How …
