An Open Letter
Dear Blue Jackets, This is an open letter not to the marketing, the ownership, or the front office, but instead to the 23 players who call themselves the Columbus Blue Jackets. Why are you doing this to us? I don’t know if I love anything as much as I love Blue Jackets hockey. I live …
0-7-1: If your heart is nowhere in it, I don’t want it for a minute.
This team is not good enough to win the Stanley Cup. Did you think that they were? The NHL season is six months long. Eighty two games in roughly one hundred and eighty days to whittle thirty teams down to sixteen. One hundred and eighty days to eliminate fourteen teams from existence every fall, winter, …
Carrying the Flag: Jackets news & notes
From Columbus Business First – Blue Jackets announcers staying put: Jeff Bell of BizJournals reports that the Blue Jackets will be bringing back Bill Davidge and Jeff Rimer in 2011-12.

Carrying the Flag: A look around the CBJosphere
With the addition of defenseman Marc Methot and head coach Scott Arniel (associate coach to Ken Hitchcock), the Blue Jackets could be well-represented by Team Canada at the World Championships. If Rick Nash (back) goes, they could have three. Goaltender Steve Mason was apparently also asked, but has chosen to rest. It was rumored that Kris …
For Jackets, Game 82 eerily reminiscent
Everything about Saturday night’s game was a perfect representation of how the 2010-11 season came and went.
