7-4 Win For Blue Jackets @ Sabres!

 What a game!

The Sabres would even it up with a goal from Thompson, giving them a 1-0 lead over the Blue Jackets.  However, about five minutes after Roslovic would even the score at 1 goal each.  He would then score again, making it 2-1 for the Blue Jackets.  The Sabres would then score again, by way of Girgensons, tying the game again with just seconds left in Period 1.

Period 2 would see a massive amount of scores for the Blue Jackets.  Bjorkstrand would get the score party started at just 0:24 into the period.  At 0:55 Domi would then score.  Then Gavrikov would follow it up for three goals in just under four minutes.  The score would now be 5-2 Blue Jackets.  Before the end of the period Conzens would score again for the Sabres, making the score 5-3, and then we’d all hold our breath as Thompson would score again for the Sabres.  5-4 the score after two period, a tight game, but the Blue Jackets would still be ahead by a goal.

In the last minutes of Period 3 Gavrikov would find the Sabres empty net, 6-4 Blue Jackets.  That wasn’t the end still thought as Kuraly would also find that open net, making tonight a 7-4 win for the Blue Jackets, at the Sabres.  The defense held, Korpisalo kept the in this game, and the offense was hot tonight.  It was a turn around from the 3-2
“loss” which shouldn’t have been, in Vegas, Saturday.  It was a good road trip though as that night in Vegas was the only loss of three games.  For a young team with a new coach this season, we’ll take it 5th Line!

We’ll see you Wednesday, 7:00 puck drop at home, when the Jets (A Canada team finally) comes to town!  We can’t wait.

Go CBJ!

Rest in Peace, Johnny and Mathew Gaudreau- Part One

I've learned something over the roughly two and a half weeks since we lost Johnny Gaudreau and his brother, Mathew; I will never be ready to write this blog. I've been avoiding this because my words seem hollow and empty to me; like anything I could say would be redundant and not enough. August 29th, 2024 will forever be burned into my brain alongside July 4th, 2021, the date we lost goaltender, Matiss Kivlenieks, in a firework accident when he used himself to shield others. To say this franchise and its fans have suffered too many tragedies since I started covering the team in May 2020 is an understatement. When we lost 'Kivi' I never imagined doing this again, but I am, and I won't lie to you because I never have; I hate that I have to do this again. My heart is shattered, especially for the Gaudreau family, and I don't think I'll ever find all the pieces. The hockey community will forever be changed by this tragedy. None of us want to accept that this nig...

Ottawa Senators @ Columbus Blue Jackets: 2024-25 NHL Season Game 76

A few special moments before we begin the recap tonight. First, congratulations to Meredith Gaudreau, her children, and the extended Gaudreau family on the birth of Carter Michael Gaudreau. I sigh in relief, knowing that he is here and both mom and baby are doing well. I love seeing the photos of him with his big sister, Noa, and brother, Johnny Jr. In addition, the fact Carter was the same size and weight as his dad when born could move you to tears, it has me.  Another big moment tonight as the puck dropped; congratulations to Erik Gudbranson on game 800 of his NHL Career! He would have a point tonight, too, but I'm getting way ahead of myself!  Yes, the cannon still works at Nationwide Arena, and it got a workout tonight! After being shut out at home and on the road, back-to-back, you can only go up, and the Blue Jackets rose to the occasion out of necessity tonight. Dimitri Voronkov would add goal twenty-one to his season, giving the Blue Jackets their first goal in three ...

Zach Werenski Adds Another Achievement to His 2024-25 NHL Season

Normally, I have to share articles by the NHL because I'm usually working when this kind of news is announced, but today, I'm not! Zach Werenski is proving to doubters that this NHL Season will go down as one of the best in his career. Today, we learned of another achievement he's added to the long list of record-breaking moments, point streaks, and team-leading assists and total points. Zach Werenski, across the league, has added the Third Star of January to this list now, too. Aside from his spectacular goal last night to clench the win for his team in overtime at the Utah Hockey Club, the man has poured on the points in the first month of 2025. His total for just 31 days was six goals and eleven assists for a grand total of seventeen points. He accomplished this over the span of just fourteen games. Keep in mind he averages a little less than playing half the game in every game. The Columbus Blue Jackets have several great defensemen and young ones showing promise, but Z...
