Derby, how nice was a Mike Todd less game? Anyone know if he just missed the game or if his is out for good?

We need a thread on the top 10 controversial calls that have screwed the Jackets complete with videos. I have a feeling that our top 10 would rival any other team's top 10 and we are the youngest team (with the Wild).
Off the top of my head, in no particular order.
1) Last night's goalie interference.
2) LA clock-gate
3) Wes Walz' pants
4) Manny Malholtra's "kicked in goal" in Dallas where he was flying through the air
5) Dorsett's goal disallowed (and he got a penalty for GI) when it looked like the goalie broke his leg
6) The 'too many men' penalty that sunk the CBJ in their last playoff game (debatable call but on here due to the importance of the situation)
7) I also remember Nash getting a goal in OT against the Wild waived off due to a high stick that seemed good, but my memory is foggy on this one
Any others? For sure the CBJ top 5 would be pretty impressive.

8) Two powerplay goals scored on one minor penalty in San Jose.
9) The goal horn/fire going off prematurely in Calgary, causing mass confusion during which they actually did score against us (Although this one is on the very low end of the Screw Scale. I hardly even remember it)

10) Brendan Shanahan faking an injury causing the ref to blow the play dead seconds before the puck crossing the goal line for game sealing EN goal. The face off is moved to the Jackets end and the Wings score the tying goal off of the faceoff. Wings win the game in overtime. http://espn.go.com/nhl/recap?gameId=230404029

was out last night and watched the highlights this morning. Wow that's quite a terrible call. It's the kind of call that I never would've even imagined being possible in my most sarcastic "this is how the jackets get screwed" dreams. I REALLY wish there was more accountability for poor officiating.
Well we lost but at least we played the right way. Entertaining game.
Mason played well. More imortantantly for most of the game the 18 skaters in front of him played hard.
Too many bad turnovers for us, led to a couple goals - also Aucoin losing his jock strap at mid ice. Wow terrible play.
RyJo, Calvert and Prospal played very well. Prospal is as close as we have to a playmaker and I think he is clearly helping the youngsters. Not a slam against prospal he's just older and with the shortened season he's still working himself into game shape.
Chicago is really a good team, holding them to 3 goals is a good effort all the way around.
I think the power play looks better. Against Detroit we were struggling just to pass the puck around the perimeter looking for a shot. Last night it seemed like we had a plan (many times a 2 man game a man on top/center trying to get Wiz (usually) on his left hand side the puck with a line to the goal. Very simple but to me it seemed more effective.

I would add John Moore as well. He is not much of an offensive force "yet" but what a terrific skater. Seeing him live last night you get a better perspective just how effortless his skating is and a big reason why he is never out of position. Hopefully his offensive game develops and people will begin noticing his overall game more.
He might be a rare CBJ first rounder that actually pans out.
The Highlight of that game was the dancing fat dude with no shirt on, But in all seriousness why would you start Mason against the best team in the league I just dont get it

I can't remember the opponent, but there was the CBJ goal waived off because the ref "had the intent" to blow the whistle because he lost sight of the puck despite the puck being loose AND the whistle clearly blown after the goal scored.
and...Dallas has 5 on 3 PP, Brendan Morrow slew foots Peca and then scores goal before Peca can recover. Peca ends up suspended because he grabbed the refs elbow to argue the call.

To be fair, Peca always was a loose cannon and had a pretty bad reputation around the league.
It was nice of the boys to put on an entertaining show for my return to Nationwide! I can't imagine that we would expect much more out of this bunch than to play the current best team in the league to a flatfooted standoff, only to lose on a bad call and a late turnover. Make that a steady effort and I will complain less.
