5 Blue Jackets Key To Avoiding Early Season Slump

5 Blue Jackets Key To Avoiding Early Season Slump

October 1st, 2014 The Blue Jackets are a completely different team than they were three short years ago. Columbus missed the 2013 Playoffs by a tiebreaker and followed it up with a rousing series against the hated Penguins in Round One of last year’s postseason. The Blue Jackets sudden rise to relevance has electrified a fan base and transformed...
Blue Jackets Traverse City Prospect Tournament Primer

Blue Jackets Traverse City Prospect Tournament Primer

September 12th, 2014 The long wait for hockey’s return is nearly over. Training Camp opens next week and Regular Season games are less than a month away.

For...
Is a Blue Jackets - Monsters Affiliation on the Horizon?

Is a Blue Jackets - Monsters Affiliation on the Horizon?

August 19th, 2014 The AHL has a history of illogical affiliations. From hosting a Flames affiliate in the Vancouver suburbs to aligning the Chicago Wolves with the St. Louis Blues, hockey’s primary feeder league has made some curious choices seemingly in spite of local NHL fan bases. One of the itchiest head-scratchers of all is the lack of ties between...
Which Blue Jacket Will Be The Next 30-Goal Scorer?

Which Blue Jacket Will Be The Next 30-Goal Scorer?

July 31st, 2014 In 2013-14 Ryan Johansen joined the ranks of Rick Nash and Geoff Sanderson as the only Blue Jackets to earn 30-plus goal seasons in franchise history. This season, the young star could become just the second Blue Jacket, along with Nash, to breach the 40-goal mark, but that’s not the only history to be made in 2014-15. The Blue...

Brandon Dubinsky Destined to Captain Blue Jackets

July 11th, 2014 Brandon Dubinsky embraced Columbus. In the short time since his arrival Dubinsky has helped transform the Blue Jackets from laughing stock to playoff contender. A proven fit in Todd Richards wear-‘em-down system, Dubinsky made national headlines with his tenacious shutdown play shadowing Sidney Crosby in the 2014 playoffs. For the...
Columbus Youth Movement on Hold for 2014

Columbus Youth Movement on Hold for 2014

July 10th, 2014 The Columbus Blue Jackets have been awfully quiet this offseason since swapping RJ Umberger for Scott Hartnell. While hockey fans across Ohio hold their collective breath in anticipation for the re-signing of budding superstar RFA Ryan Johansen, Jarmo Kekalainen and company made a series of relatively small transactions. At first glance,...

2020-21: The NHL of the Future

July 1st, 2014 It’s an exciting time in the NHL offseason. The NHL Entry Draft wrapped last weekend and we’re now in the midst of free agency frenzy. Ah, Christmas in July. The kids of the NHL draft class of 2014 have played a collective zero big league games yet the Internet is flooded with draft grades and predictions. For all the speculation...
10 Key Games for Columbus Before Christmas

10 Key Games for Columbus Before Christmas

June 23rd, 2014 The NHL kicked off the busiest two weeks of the offseason Sunday with the release of the 2014-15 schedule. In a matter of days the 2014 NHL Entry Draft will be upon us (well, Philadelphia) followed shortly thereafter by the frenzy that is free agency. Before the offseason drama consumes the attention of hockey fanatics, let’s take a...
