Stat of the day

I found this interesting.

Last year there was only 1 deal prior to the four days leading up to the actual February 26th trade deadline.

In 2007 there were 12 deals in the four days leading up to the actual February 27th trade deadline.

What does that tell us?

Nothin really but it does appear this year is looking a lot more like last year when the fireworks didn't start until the actual deadline day.

Make no mistake though.. Howson in already on the clock. Tic toc.

The NHL Network is running a free preview from March 2nd through the 7th. So for those that may be "sick" on Wednesday their coverage starts at noon!

I'll also have an online chat churning most of the day here.

Another big week on the Jackets schedule. They start with LA at home tomorrow (can we say must win?) and then travel to Nashville on Thursday and Detroit on Saturday (good time to invade the Joe CBJ fans!!!).

Thus far this season the Jackets are:

1-2 against the Kings. All games have been shutouts.

2-1 against the Predators. All games have been won by the home team.

2-2 against the Wings. All games have been won by the home team.

I think they need to take at least two out of the three of these games.
