The Blue Jackets snapped a five-game losing streak with a 5-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues last night. RJ Umberger had a hat trick and added an assist for good measure.

Even though this is only the pre-season, an undercurrent of grumbling was making its way through the Columbus blogs, Tweets and message boards after a 0 – 2 – 1 start. Sure, all three were road games, and they all featured unique combinations of the 70 players invited to camp, but signs of veteran leadership [...]

It’s been four long months since we last watched our beloved Blue Jackets suit up and take the ice, and while we’ve been able to witness our Ohio baseball teams stumble to the finish line, it just cannot compare to the thrills of hockey.

In what was likely one of the most improbable victories of the 80 games played thus far, the Columbus Blue Jackets achieved the goal that had been in existence since Robert Kron won the first-ever faceoff for the Blue Jackets (over Alexei Zhamnov of the Blackhawks) in October 2000 — a seat in the Stanley [...]

When Chicago’s first shot on net hit the bar, bounced up, landed on Mason’s back and into the goal, you had the sense that this might be a rather bizarre game.
