Blue Jackets vs Oilers

Monday night I went down to the Blue Jackets - Oilers hockey game. I walked down to the game with a friend planning to scalp tickets and we were lucky enough to get free tickets in the 3rd row of the upper bowl. All told, the evening cost me $7.50 - the price of a Labatt Blue Light draft. The Blue Jackets did not play particularly well on Monday night but were fortunate enough to escape with a 3-2 shootout win over the Oilers.
Nikita Filatov, the Blue Jackets 1st round pick in the 2008 draft was a healthy scratch for the game and today it was announced why: he's heading back to Russia. Hopefully, it will only be a year and we will see Filatov on the ice for the Jackets next year.
In other news, it's Michigan week! Michigan week is always bittersweet for me since it signifies the last regular season game of the year. The football season just isn't long enough for me. Hopefully Coach Tressel can extend his winning streak against Michigan to 6 on Saturday.
Only one more week until my Thanksgiving break starts. Go Bucks! Beat Michigan!
