Worth pointing out on the CBJ tidbits instead of the non CBJ thread since he will always be a lot of people's favorite jackets player. He's right up there with David Vyborny for me personally.

Add Manny Malhotra and that's probably my CBJ holy trinity.

Hoping only the best for Matty.

I hope only the best for Matt. This kid has a passion for the game that is rare, Manny also has that trait.

I can't believe Colorado cleared Matty Ice to play and thought a pink tinted visor would save him from further concussion effects.

One of the most beloved Jackets. Stay healthy, my man.

The tinted visor doesn’t prevent further effects. It treats/minimizes specific symptoms like glare/eye strain/headaches.

It’s troubling that they cleared someone with clear long term symptoms of concussions to return to play.

Think about your kids, man, you done good, time to walk away.

I'm assuming he has kids

Horrible news. Hoping for the best for matty C. One of my favorites

That's where I was going with it. If he's having symptoms to the point that he needed a special visor to minimize symptoms of eye strain / headaches...maybe don't put him out there where he could risk *another* concussion?

This is a cool article about him, and it mentions his son.

He is my favorite Jacket of all time.

Where Are They Now: Mike Commodore

"One of the questions I get is, 'Where was your favorite place to play?'" Commodore said. "Don't get me wrong, none of the places were awful, but as far as my favorite place that I played when you bring it all in with the fans and that rink and the guys and the city, it's Columbus, Ohio, for me."
One of the highlights of his career was the first of his three seasons with the Blue Jackets in 2008-09, as Commodore had what he called the best season of his career. Keying the CBJ blue line while playing with Jan Hejda much of the year, Commodore played in 81 games and had a 5-19-24 line, plus-11 rating and 100 penalty minutes.
The cherry on top? Columbus made its first-ever Stanley Cup Playoffs appearance, finishing 27-15-6 over the last 48 games and clinching its bid with a shootout win in Chicago with three games left in the campaign.
"People were like, 'Whoa, wait a minute, these guys might actually be good,' " Commodore said. "All of a sudden the rink is full, and that rink is unbelievable. Fans in Columbus are awesome. And all of a sudden things started steamrolling. I'll never forget. As far as top-five moments in my career … (one of them) was making the playoffs with the Blue Jackets. I still remember we took a game to overtime in Chicago. I remember being on the ice when the horn went to end that third period, and I was pumped."

Me too, but I wouldn't wish all that weight back on him.

Matt Calvert will ALWAYS be a Blue Jacket.

Here's an interesting tidbit - The Blue Jackets have had *22* more power play opportunities than penalty kills. That's 2 per game!

That doesn't seem right to me. Nhl.com shows a +5 penalty differential.

 

[majormajor]

I just noticed that the Jackets' 20 5v5 goals in 11 games is actually a bit above league average g/gp right now. That was a little bit surprising.

The league average two years ago was 2 5v5 goals per game, so I'm guessing the leaguewide deluge of penalties has cut down on 5v5 time.

It is also encouraging that the Jackets are not that far off at 5v5 despite the rocky start. If they can get the PP going with Laine then things are suddenly looking pretty good.

 

[ViD]

Didn’t we actually score a PP goal in 3 of the last 4 games ?

Good times are ahead.

Hockey Reference has it 29 PP opportunities for and 25 PK's. They are second lowest in PPO's among the teams that have played 10 or more games.

This is what happens when you trust ESPN.
