What is there left to say? Much like their previous game against St. Louis, the Jackets played a listless, sloppy game against the Dallas Stars. They tossed 23 shots at Lehtonen, but he was able to turn aside all of them. At the other end, Mathieu Garon made his third straight start with Mason on …

Jackets drop two & other notes
Friday, vs. Chicago: The Jackets got off to a slow start (sound familiar?) and allowed Chicago to jump to a 2-0 lead in the first, but goals by Maksim Mayorov (the first of his NHL career) and Derick Brassard (his 16th) had the game tied at 2 after two periods. Samuel Pahlsson gave them the …
Game 76: Jackets lose in the shootout… wait, no they don't!
For the first time in what feels like eons, the Blue Jackets did what seemed improbable. In fact, they did several things that have otherwise eluded them lately: scored multiple times at home, won at home, and won in the shootout. After losing six straight shootouts, a collective breath of relief was released after Maksim …
Avs 5, Jackets 4: Nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea…
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 …
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 …
