First Period: – Starters: A. Vermette-S. Pahlsson-D. Dorsett; M. Methot- J. Wisniewski; C. Sanford – Scratches: A. Johnson, D. Brassard, S. Mason – Breaking glass, already. The game hasn’t even started. – There are not words for my dislike of the fourth line of Bass-MacKenzie-Boll. Useless, talentless waste of roster space. – On the other …

Come Together
The Columbus Blue Jackets are 3-1-1 in their last five. Yes, you read that correctly. Could this be the team we were led to believe that we’d really be seeing this season? It’s probably easy to get caught up in the furor of the moment and to be dazzled (or glamored, if you will) by …
Happy CBJ-o-ween!
Since they have been less than secretive about tonight being their team Halloween shindig – it’s only fair we make ridiculous assumptions about what they’re dressed as, right? Here are a few predictions, and awards: Ryan Johansen’s curfew is 9:00, so he showed up early in his costume: A Mythical Creature Known As a First-Round …
Boyfriend of the Week: Week 3
It’s that time again, my friends, when I make my pick for who gets the honor of wining and dining me (hypothetically, anyway) for the next week. Boyfriends Prospal & Russell are still very much enjoying decent seasons so far (forget about Ottawa), but we must move on. Life is short! With a less than …
Boyfriend of the Week: Week 2
Well, after an explosive (or, shall we say, implosive) first week of the season, jammed-packed with four games, week two was not so accomodating. With only two games on the schedule — both against Dallas, both losses — there wasn’t much to work with in picking this week’s Boyfriend. Yet again, we got only two goals …
Boyfriend of the Week: Week 1
Welcome to Boyfriend of the Week, which is almost like it sounds but not quite. No, ladies, this isn’t our weekly gab sesh about who is looking mighty fine (heeeey, Antoine) and who’s starting to look rough around the edges (sorry, Calvert, you have to get those teeth fixed) –that’s Twitter, of course. This is …
Blue Jackets by the Numbers: 10/7 vs. Nashville
Statistical odds and ends, courtesy of the NHL.com Event Summary for the 10/7/11 game: Marc Methot had only 15:33 TOI, the least of the entire D corps, though he was far from the worst. His last shift was with four minutes left in the third. Likely because they were looking for an offensive push on …
Fan Fest: a superfan’s guide to finding everyone (s)he needs.
Fan Fest is tomorrow – all deets are here – and look at all of those great things going on at once! But how are you supposed to keep track of who is going to be where, and when? You need your jersey signed by the new guys and a picture of Mason …
Know Your Russell
With training camp just one (!!!) short week away, and players already taking to the Nationwide Arena ice for informal practices, and there now being not one but two (!!!) Russells around, your fangirl-in-chief here decided it would be a good idea to step up to the plate and make a study guide in case …
