Sometimes it’s not about how you put the full 60-minute effort together…it’s just that you get the job done. Such was the case for the Blue Jackets Thursday at Madison Square Garden in a game that was ripe with story lines heading into it, but the reality was that those involved in the story lines […]
Blue Jackets Beat Devils 5-4
December 11, 2013 by
The Blue Jackets were pretty disappointed to drop a 2-1 decision Monday night in Pittsburgh, a game in which they defended well and didn’t give up many chances to the potent Penguins offense. The game-winning goal was a centering pass that went off Sidney Crosby’s skate, defended by Nick Foligno, and into the net in […]
Jackets Beat Lightning 1-0
December 4, 2013 by
Sergei Bobrovsky’s finest stop of the night was a glove-handed robbery of JT Brown just 4:13 into the third period. The bad news (at least for Tuesday), is that it was the last save he made in the game. The only damper on a hard-fought, 1-0 Blue Jackets victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning was […]
Blue Jackets Smack Maple Leafs 6-0
November 26, 2013 by
In what has been a roller coaster ride of a five-game road trip through Canada, the Blue Jackets – missing several regulars due to injury – committed to a simple and efficient game plan tonight against the high-flying Toronto Maple Leafs. They were not going to get involved in a run-and-gun, shoot-out type of game […]
Blue Jackets Beat Flames 2-1
November 21, 2013 by
Blue Jackets coach Todd Richards was asked post-game when he knew that tonight’s game would be different. “Right from the first shift,” he said. And he turned to one of his go-to units to start things off in Calgary – Ryan Johansen, RJ Umberger and Nick Foligno were reunited earlier this week and they were […]
Oilers Destroy Blue Jackets 7-0
November 20, 2013 by
Derek MacKenzie had a point-blank scoring chance in the opening minute of Tuesday’s game, and it might have been the Blue Jackets’ best opportunity of the game. It was that kind of night for Columbus, but it can’t be seen as anything other than a step backward after their solid effort Sunday in Ottawa. The […]
Blue Jackets Beat Senators 4-1
November 18, 2013 by
Derek MacKenzie summed up Sunday’s game thusly: “It was an honest effort, and we got an honest result.” The Blue Jackets had all hands on deck – no passengers this afternoon at the Canadian Tire Centre – and got back to playing their relentless, in-your-face brand of hockey in a 4-1 win over a Senators […]
Capitals Beat Blue Jackets 4-3 in OT
November 13, 2013 by
A roller coaster ride in the final minutes of regulation had a sour ending for the Jackets once the train returned to the station as Columbus lost to the Capitals 4-3 in overtime. Down 2-1 in the third period – courtesy of a wicked bounce behind the net that left Sergei Bobrovsky helplessly to watch […]
Blue Jackets Beat Islanders 5-2
November 11, 2013 by
One day after a lengthy team meeting before practice – one that, in the words of many players, got everyone back on the same page – the Blue Jackets emphatically ended a five-game losing streak with a 5-2 victory over the New York Islanders. They got seven points (three goals, four assists) from their new-look […]
Senators Beat Blue Jackets 4-1
November 6, 2013 by
When RJ Umberger slammed a loose puck through the legs of Senators goalie Robin Lehner 3:02 into the third period, it felt as if the Blue Jackets were on the rallying path. The building was back into the game, the bench was energized and after finally breaking through on their 28th shot of the evening […]
