Blue Jackets win at Ohio Stadium

It finally came. The Blue Jackets had their first outdoor game in Ohio Stadium against the Detroit Red Wings. The buzz lasted 13 months, and the game did not disappoint. The hockey world has continued to honor Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau at every turn. The Blue Jackets entered Ohio Stadium wearing a Johnny outfit—a black hat, a hoodie, sweatpants, and UGG boots. The Red Wings got off their…

Game #61 Recap: Lightning score early and roll through Jackets

How would the Jackets follow up their performance in the Horseshoe? Disastrous start to this one with Tampa Bay scoring on their first two shots. First, the Lightning third line struck when a Lilleberg point shot was deflected by Chaffee and through Elvis. TBL Goal 0-1 Chaffee (Lilleberg, Raddysh) 0:30 Not long after, a Mateychuk shot missed the net and was gathered by Guentzel…

Recap #62: Another stinker in the Sunshine State

After a hangover loss in Tampa on Tuesday, could the Columbus Blue Jackets rebound against the defending Stanley Cup champs? I’m no expert, but I feel like if you want to beat said champs, giving them three power plays in the first eight minutes of the game is NOT the way to do that. The first came after Niko Mikkola hit Kent Johnson high. There was no call, but James van Riemsdyk…

Recap #64: Jackets disappoint in dance with the Devils

The Blue Jackets’ earnest pursuit of the Metro 3 spot started tonight in the first of two matchups against the Devils this week. Apparently New Jersey has been known for hot starts at home this season and they certainly brought it in this one. Constant pressure early frustrated the Jackets and the Devils won all the puck races. A fairly soft tripping call against Fabbro 4 minutes in gave…

Be prepared for many ups and downs for the rest of the season. We are in the thick of the playoff race, and the Blue Jackets are riding a rollercoaster of good and bad play. Currently, they are stuck in a bit of a funk.

Game #67 Recap: Jackets Score, but Losing Streak Extends to Four

Every game feels like a must win, but this one feels like a “please just score” game. Can Jet and the reunited globe trotters deliver the Jackets from woe? Some early life from both teams in this one. Fantilli looked to make a mark on his first shift with a nice dangle through a defender but Allen made the stop, a sign of things to come. The Devils generated three good looks early on…
