Sifting through the Columbus Blue Jackets trade rumors

The Columbus Blue Jackets celebrated Hockey is for Everyone vs the Toronto Maple Leafs

Inclusive; not excluding any of the parties or groups involved in something Last night the Columbus Blue Jackets and Toronto Maple Leafs squared off at Nationwide Arena. A game that saw the Blue Jackets fall 3-0, but that was not the focus of the game. The Blue Jackets hosted a yearly NHL tradition: “Hockey is […]

Believe it or not, the Columbus Blue Jackets are rebuilding the right way

There is a right way to do an NHL rebuild and a wrong way. The wrong way is to draft offensive talent or “the best player available.” In the case of the Columbus Blue Jackets (currently on pace for 54 points,) even though it may be difficult to see, the organization is rebuilding the right […]

Should the Columbus Blue Jackets send Cole Sillinger to the AHL?

Sophomore slumps are real. Just ask Columbus Blue Jackets C-Cole Sillinger, who has two goals on the season after scoring 16 as a rookie. Goals are not the only thing that dipped four assists down from 15; six points down from 31 ice time has been slashed by nearly a minute. What may be the […]

After returning to the Detroit Red Wings roster, Robby Fabbri has breathed life into the team

The Detroit Red Wings recently welcomed back a member of the team’s third line, C/LW- Robby Fabbri, who had been rehabbing from a third torn ACL injury. Fabbri has been a big boost to a Red Wings team that needed one. Three goals in four games played do not tell the whole story. Robby Fabbri […]

Defenseman Marcus Bjork has been a big surprise for the Columbus Blue Jackets

The Columbus Blue Jackets have struggled this season to find consistency due in part to roster construction and part injuries. The Blue Jackets have had a revolving door of players shuttling between AHL affiliate Cleveland (Monsters) and Columbus, sometimes on a game-to-game basis.
