It wasn't until the third period of the Los Angeles game that the Jackets started hitting. Before that they were mostly knocking each other off the puck. I've decided that Suchy (21) is probably the most useless of all our new useless players, Balastik included. We've just always been very poor defensively, and now Adam Foote, notwithstanding, we seem to continue to be very poor giving up 11 goals in three games. Rusty "Overrated" Klesla is still out with an injury, and until Nash gets back from his lingering sprained right ankle you get the feeling that the organization has its built in excuse, well, built in. So, if we're going to do anything this year, we need to pick up points on our upcoming homestand.

Record: 1 - 5 (2 pts) last place in the league
Home Record: 0 - 1
Road Record: 1 - 4
