5 Cures to Toronto's Injuries at Center

5 Cures to Toronto's Injuries at Center

November 4th, 2013 The Maple Leafs and centers have a weird relationship. The team has been lacking a bona fide center since the Mats Sundin years, and seem to have recently developed a player who can once again fill that role - Nazem Kadri. However, after resigning Tyler Bozak and acquiring Dave Bolland from Chicago, it seems weird for the team to be...
The Case for Losing Vinny Prospal

The Case for Losing Vinny Prospal

August 7th, 2013 Vinny Prospal has caused much digital ink to be spilled in Columbus over the past two years. His addition was a late one prior to the 2011-2012 season (a replacement for the injured Kristian Huselius), but quickly transformed into more than a quick fix. Soon after the season began and the decent toward 30th place in the NHL took...

Blue Jackets Player Rankings: Part One – Offense

May 11th, 2013 Columbus Player Rankings -- Offense With the hockey season over for the Columbus Blue Jackets and their fans, what else is there to do other than watch the playoffs?  Keep replaying in your head all the “what if” scenarios of narrow losses by the Blue Jackets?  Yes, it can drive you insane!  So, what better remedy from the...

THW Panel: Blue Jackets Face Big Questions This Offseason

May 9th, 2013 Two months ago Blue Jackets fans were speculating whether Nate MacKinnon or Jonathan Drouin would look best in Union Blue.

Identity Crisis: Columbus Blueshirts And New York Blue Jackets?

Identity Crisis: Columbus Blueshirts And New York Blue Jackets?

April 7th, 2013 Who are the "Columbus Blueshirts" and the "New York Blue Jackets"?  Are these names of the latest Broadway shows?  Or are they a couple of brand new NHL expansion franchises? No, they are merely a metamorphosis of the NHL trades that have occurred over the last year.  Talk about team identity crisis!  Not only did players get...
NHL Trade Deadline: 5 Players Who 'Fit' The Minnesota Wild

NHL Trade Deadline: 5 Players Who 'Fit' The Minnesota Wild

March 26th, 2013 The Minnesota Wild were big buyers during the summer free agency period signing top free agents Zach Parise and Ryan Suter to huge contracts.

NHL Realignment: Part One - Jackets Required, S’il Vous Plait!

March 18th, 2013 Unless 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: Winning the battle and losing the war?

March 12th, 2013   The Columbus Blue Jackets have been a bit of a surprise as of late as they have been winning more often than not.  They have amassed an impressive record going into Tuesday’s game against Vancouver with an improbable 5 game winning streak, a pair of overtime losses and a string of just 1-goal losses.  Is that a good...

Blue Jackets Beat: A Win From the Heart

February 22nd, 2013 The omens were in the air yesterday.  An ice storm bearing down on the Midwest, threatening travel plans.  The stock market tanking . . . then recovering a bit.   James Wisniewski delivering a soliloquy on how losing -- no matter what the effort -- was unacceptable.  And then the game began . . . 18 seconds in.  Turnover. ...
Fastest Two Goals in NHL History: Prospal and Letestu Make Their Mark

Fastest Two Goals in NHL History: Prospal and Letestu Make Their Mark

February 13th, 2013 In Monday night’s game against the Sharks, Columbus forwards Vinny Prospal and Mark Letestu combined for the fastest goals scored in Blue Jackets history.   The two scored just eight seconds apart in the third period in a 6-2 victory over San Jose.

In Post-Nash Era, Who Should Captain the Columbus Blue Jackets?

In Post-Nash Era, Who Should Captain the Columbus Blue Jackets?

January 14th, 2013 In the relatively short history of the Columbus Blue Jackets, there hasn’t really been a player that has captured the city’s attention quite like Rick Nash did. In his tenure with the club, Nash led the team to their only playoff appearance, a four-game sweep at the hands of the Detroit Red Wings in 2009, scored 30 or more goals in...
