Pittsburgh PenguinsUnless you’ve been holed up somewhere in a distant galaxy, far away from the hockey universe, you’ve surely heard that the NHL realignment plan has been approved by the league and players’ association. And, guess what? Jackets are required, s’il vous plait! Jackets, you ask? Yes, the Blue Jackets! The Columbus Blue Jackets are required ...

Columbus, OH His NHL career spanned 12 years and included 630 games played, 15-57-72 and 1449 PIM. He’s gone toe to toe with some of the best players in the league and was involved in the notorious line brawls between the Buffalo Sabres/Philadelphia Flyers in both 1996 and 1997. It’s no wonder that Bob Boughner earned ...
