The Good & the Bad: The Columbus Blue Jackets Under GM Scott Howson

The Good & the Bad: The Columbus Blue Jackets Under GM Scott Howson

June 8th, 2020 Scott Howson was hired as the general manager of the Columbus Blue Jackets on June 15, 2007. He held the job until being unceremoniously fired on February 12, 2013. He came to the job with experience. He had served as GM for the AHL affiliates of the Edmonton Oilers for several years and as assistant GM for the parent club from...
How These Columbus Blue Jackets Were Built

How These Columbus Blue Jackets Were Built

April 21st, 2019 At long last, the Columbus Blue Jackets and their fans have something to celebrate that will last a lifetime. The Blue Jackets swept the top-seeded Tampa Bay Lightning out of the first round of the 2019 NHL Playoffs in stunning fashion. The hockey world will remember this for a long time. Hockey is a copycat league. If someone is...
Blue Jackets Pressure Points: Grading Management

Blue Jackets Pressure Points: Grading Management

August 27th, 2016 We continue our summer series, titled Blue Jackets Pressure Points, on the Columbus Blue Jackets. We ask hard questions about the team and attempt to answer them as it relates to the upcoming season and beyond. Last time, we asked if Ryan Murray and Seth Jones were ready to become a top, shutdown pair. Today, I put my teacher's hat on...
Edmonton Oilers: Who is Tyler Dellow?

Edmonton Oilers: Who is Tyler Dellow?

August 7th, 2014 In what is becoming a bigger trend throughout the NHL, many clubs are hiring analytics gurus to be part of their front offices. The Edmonton Oilers have now joined the party and have recently hired Tyler Dellow, an advanced analytics whiz, who until recently operated an analytics based blog at mc79hockey.com (@mc79hockey). The...
How Hot is Todd Richards' Seat?

How Hot is Todd Richards' Seat?

November 14th, 2013 The Columbus Blue Jackets have not been very good lately, after jumping out to a respectable, if unspectacular 5-5-0 record the Jackets have since dropped 6 of their last 7 including a disappointing 4-3 overtime loss to divisional foes Washington Tuesday evening. In those 7 games the formula has been fairly consistent: despite a...
Timekeeping Ain't Easy

Timekeeping Ain't Easy

July 18th, 2013 I love hockey. I enjoy being a part of the game working as a timekeeper at the local community rink on some nights and weekends. Even while I am sitting in a lonely timekeeper's box while freezing my butt off, the game still warms me. Sitting from my vantage point, I see a lot. There are some kids that still come out to play when the...
Blue Jackets Beat:  Howson's Revenge or Kings' Folly?

Blue Jackets Beat: Howson's Revenge or Kings' Folly?

April 25th, 2013 It seemed so innocuous at the time . . . harmless really.  When former Blue Jackets GM Scott Howson proposed a tie-breaking revision that would make non-shootout wins the first tie-breaker for playoff determination, it was viewed as a sensible little move, appeasing the haters of the shoot-out.  Even in Columbus, it was viewed as...
NHL Playoffs: Is Columbus, Detroit, Dallas Or Phoenix Getting The Eighth Seed?

NHL Playoffs: Is Columbus, Detroit, Dallas Or Phoenix Getting The Eighth Seed?

April 20th, 2013 There is an enthralling logjam that has developed in the Western Conference for the last playoff spot in Lord Stanley’s annual gala.  With the sun-setting on this abbreviated season, only a handful of games remain yet the competition for the eighth seed is fierce.  The Columbus Blue Jackets temporarily sit atop a pile of four...
Oilers Fire GM Steve Tambellini, Hire Scott Howson

Oilers Fire GM Steve Tambellini, Hire Scott Howson

April 15th, 2013 Hearing Craig MacTavish is new EDM GM and Scott Howson will be taking over MacTavish's role. As per @tsnryanrishaug, EDM fires Tambellini. — Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) April 15, 2013 This season, when the Oilers have been good, they've been really good. But when they've been bad, they've been terribly bad. A couple weeks ago...
From Missouri to Ohio, the Building of the 2013 Columbus Blue Jackets

From Missouri to Ohio, the Building of the 2013 Columbus Blue Jackets

February 16th, 2013 The Columbus Blue Jackets have learned that the best way to get to the top is to take tidbits from teams that have grown into Cup contenders. The Jackets did this in a very literal sense. The central Ohio team traveled south to find an organization to mirror.  The St. Louis Blues, last year’s Central Division Champions, have...
Blue Jackets Beat:  Finnish Fireworks

Blue Jackets Beat: Finnish Fireworks

February 13th, 2013 This space had been reserved for a relatively sedate review of the first quarter of the Blue Jackets' season.  However, in the past 48 hours, the club has chosen to attract some serious attention, through moves both on the ice and off.  Let's ride this rocket while the fuse is still burning. The Other Shoe Drops -- Howson Era...
Rangers Must Find Spaces for New Faces

Rangers Must Find Spaces for New Faces

November 9th, 2012 As talks between the NHL and NHLPA continue, many fans maintain a cautious hope that the lockout might still be resolved in time to salvage the 2012-2013 NHL season. If that does happen, teams such as the Rangers who made significant roster changes in the off-season will have the task ahead of figuring out where their newest members...
John Davidson Is the Right Person to Fix the Columbus Blue Jackets

John Davidson Is the Right Person to Fix the Columbus Blue Jackets

October 28th, 2012 John Davidson was named the new President of Hockey Operations for the Columbus Blue Jackets in a move that was originally speculated by the Columbus Dispatch's Aaron Portzline within the last week. Davidson and the St. Louis Blues parted ways a month ago, in a move that was caused by a new ownership taking control of the Blues in...

Blue Jackets Beat: Davidson On Board, Fehr & Bettman Blustering

As has been rumored for awhile, and discussed at greater length here and here, the Blue Jackets have now confirmed that John Davidson has been hired to assume the post of President, Hockey Operations.    The Columbus Dispatch broke the news late last night, and other outlets ran with it this morning until the club issued...

Blue Jackets Beat: Fans, Falcons & Davidson

As the off-season unfortunately lingers far longer than anyone hoped, we'll be keeping tabs on the developments in Columbus, as well as some of the overall issues affecting the club and the game.  Blue Jackets Beat will be my vehicle for these overall updates.  While we all hope for some more on-ice new in the near future, there are...
