With the draft now in the books, Columbus Fans should be happy with what the management staff was able to do. We all witnessed something that not many General Managers can do. Howson worked the draft board to perfection and was able to draft 4 defensemen and a couple of forwards. None are expected to [...]

Time and Score . . . and Torres!!!
Bluejackets fans are in a unique position to empathize with the Florida Panthers fans tonight. Over the past 7 years, how many times have we nursed a 1 goal lead with less than 5 minutes left in the game, and had our hopes shattered by a bad bounce, a late penalty or defensive breakdown? With [...]

Filatov To IR
The Bluejackets have placed forward Nikita Filatov on the IR list, retroactive to January 18th, per Scott Howson.No indication that this is any hint of a dire injury to Filatov.

A War, A Point . . .A Break
Sorry that this review of the Calgary game is so late, but late night and busy day put the squeeze on the available hours. If you had come to me yesterday and said that the Bluejackets could have 1 point for the Calgary game, no need to play, just go off to break, I would [...]

What A Way To End 2008!
Let the record reflect that there were fewer than 30 minutes remaining in the 2008 calendar year when the Jackets wrapped up their 3rd consecutive shutout win — a 2 – 0 decision over the Anaheim Ducks. The Orange County Register blogger who questioned the existence of the Bluejackets in today’s Ducks’ blog now most [...]

WOW!!! Happy Birthday HItch!!!
If Hitch has a list of things he wanted for his birthday (and I doubt that he does), #1, #2 and #3 on that list would likely have been a gutty home win over the best team in Hockey, the San Jose Sharks. Well, he got his wishes . . .in spades. Make no mistake [...]
