Ten Perfectly Serious Blue Jackets Predictions for 2011-12
1. Rick Nash will stare longingly into the FSO Cameras an astounding and terrifying 1,372 times. 2. Scott Howson will accidentally pull the wrong Russell aside to tell him he’s been demoted to Springfield. And then demote the other just to save face. 3. Jared Boll will go 1-20.
