Rick Nash, in full streak-mode, knocked home his 32nd goal of the season just 2:14 in the first period with some help from Derick Brassard carrying the puck coast to coast. Brassard and Kris Russell both assisted, bringing them each to a career-best 28 assists for Brassard and career-high 23 points for Russell. Ryan O’Reilly …

Jackets easily possessed by Devil
Remember back in the olden days of February or maybe even on Saturday, when the Jackets were able to complete passes and put the puck on the net? Those were the days, weren’t they? Apparently the epic Supermoon event sapped them of their ability to operate as functional professional hockey players. Did they do anything …
Nash, Jackets get it done in 64:26
If you, at any point in this game, had any confidence in the outcome of the game, you’re lying. It started interestingly enough, as Rick Nash got off the schneid with his thirtieth goal of the season, assisted by Derek Dorsett and Sammy Pahlsson. Pahlsson chipped the puck to Dorsett along the boards, who flipped …
Game 70: Here it goes again…
OK GO says it better than words ever could: Let’s recap those lyrics, in case you’re unfamiliar: Just when you think that you’re in control Just when you think that you’ve got a hold Just when you get on a roll Here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again Oh, here it goes …
Game 69: Thoughts & Observations
– The Blue Jackets lost this game the way they have lost most of their season: by blowing ample opportunities to put the game away. They were able to pull Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask away from his net and give themselves a handful of golden, empty-net opportunities but were only able to capitalize on two …
Game 68: Secondary scoring, PK hold off storm surge
As happens frequently for the Columbus Blue Jackets, they received pivotal, game-changing secondary scoring to carry them to victory. Derek MacKenzie had two goals and Samuel Pahlsson scored his sixth — shorthanded, no less — to give the Jackets a 3-2 victory. Pahlsson’s goal came just 4:44 into the first when Kris Russell (on the …
Playoff hopes fading, but plenty of reason for optimism
The Jackets left over a week ago to embark on their longest road stretch of the year: Nashville, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, and St. Louis. What seemed upon departure to be a winnable road trip, has left the team’s seething with only two points over those five games. Games against teams they have beaten who themselves …
In case you missed it… the last three days.
– Honkeytonk Heartbreak: After a poorly-reviewed disallowed goal that caused much indigestion across the board, the Blue Jackets rebounded with a goal in the second period off the stick of Matt Calvert, his 10th of the campaign. Early in the third though, the Predators would return the favor when Shea Weber and then Jonathon Blum …
Game 60: The Natural pulls off the trick
On a night when the Jackets were ten minutes late to their own party, Matt Calvert stole the show. The game started as oh-so-many this year, down in an 0-2 hole just eight minutes into the game after a couple of unfortunate, ugly goals. But RJ Umberger’s 20th goal got them on the board and …
What Could Have Been
[Note: Apologies for the lack of Game 59 post. Got home late, have been ill, let it be known the game was phenomenal.] It is no secret that the Columbus Blue Jackets are not fond of the month of December. After closing up November’s schedule, the Union blue were 14-8 and earning 63.6% of the …
