It’s almost comical how the perceptions fans – and sometimes media – have for players is how a player is expected to develop. Obviously you expect good things from first rounders (Derick Brassard, Nikita Filatov) or guys who have big first seasons (Steve Mason). Sometimes you’re gifted with met expectations (Brassard, to some degree), and …

Carrying the Flag: Around the CBJ Blogosphere

He’s been ruled out of the World Championships, but who isn’t? Rick Nash (Canada), Fedor Tyutin (Russia), and Jakub Voracek (Czech Republic). From Carry the Flag – Methot Set to Wear Half …
Jackets Lose Game, Defenseman
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 …
