Blue Jackets Are 6-3-0 After Overtime Win In Colorado!

 It’s off to the high altitude of Colorado, as the Columbus Blue Jackets take on the Avalanche.  Period 1 would result in no goals, however, it would highlight the amazing ability for the Blue Jacket to kill a very strop Power Play.  In Period 2 we’d see the Bally Sports Ohio App crash, and the Avalanche go up 2-0.  This was by way of a goal from O’Connor, which was then followed by a goal from Byram.   Near the end of the Period Jake Bean would score for the home team, putting the Blue Jackets within 1 goal heading into the third.

Period 3 would be a bright one for one specific Blue Jacket, Cole Sillinger.  He would score two goals, putting the Blue Jackets up 3-2, as the team would capture its first lead of the evening.  A few minutes later Boone Jenner (BOOOOOONE) would score also, 4-2!  Another goal would come from the Avalanche, from Compher.  Then, disaster strikes for the CBJ as Byram would score again in this game.  This would lead to a 4-4 tie between the Avalanche and Blue Jackets.  With just 52 seconds left you’d expect an Overtime, and you’d be right.

To this point, a few extra notes.  Oliver Bjorkstrand had 2 assists, he’s doing amazing this season and it’s worth mentioning.  Patrik Laine would also have 2 assist at this point.  However, something concerning would happen to him.  With about 6 minutes left in the third he’d have a tangled and perplexing tangled up fall with an Avalanche player.  He got up and by his own power made it to the bench, with that being said, he left it shortly after.  I’ll keep you posted on his condition,

Seconds into Overtime, Jake Bean would finish what he stated.  The Overtime goal, by him, would result in a 5-4 win over the Colorado Avalanche!  What a night, 2 points in another away game!  That’s a 2 game streak which the team will try and keep alive as we flip arena’s Saturday, when the Avalanche make their way to Columbus and Nationwide Arena!

Well done to Korpisalo in goal, he did enough to ensure a win, and that’s all which matters in the end.

Go CBJ!

Saturday is at 7:00 PM and your Columbus Blue Jackets are now 6-3-0 on the 2021-22 NHL Season!

What the Ranger's Elimination From the 2024 NHL Playoffs Means for the Columbus Blue Jackets Acquired 2026 Draft Pick

It's been an interesting 2024 NHL Playoffs already. This was captivating by watching the divide among the 5th Line fans who chose to watch the playoffs and cheer on former Blue Jackets. As the Eastern Conference Final was set, we saw Sergei Bobrovsky on one end of the ice as a Florida Panther. On the other end of the ice, representing the New York Rangers, stood three former Jackets, Artemi Panarin, Alexander Wennberg, and Jack Roslovic. Due to the final player I listed with the New York Rangers end of the ice, this playoff series had implications for the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Trade the organization did, sending Jack Roslovic to the New York Rangers, was for a conditional Fourth Round Draft Pick in the future 2026 NHL Draft. The condition to this pick was that if the Rangers advanced all the way to the Stanley Cup Final 2024, the Draft pick would increase to the third round. With the Florida Panthers eliminating the New York Rangers tonight in Game 6 (the final was 2-1), The B

Brenden Gaunce, Nick Blankenburg, and Jake Bean Sign NHL Deals Away From Columbus Blue Jackets

The 2024 Trade Deadline gives and takes away every season. Today, the Columbus Blue Jackets signed Sean Monahan to a deal that will last five years and give him a 5.5 Million AAV. This was the brighter side of the day as several Columbus Blue Jackets and Cleveland Monsters players signed elsewhere, including a favorite of mine.  The 30-year-old Center, Brenden Gaunce, left us to join the Minnesota Wild. He agreed to a deal that will go through the 2025-26 NHL Season. He was in Columbus last season for 24 games and had 4 points with an even 2 goals and 2 assists. I have yet to see what his contract is valued at, but nevertheless, I wish him good luck with the Wild.  Jake Bean had the 5th Line divided. Some saw value in him staying, while others wanted him traded months ago. He wasn't traded today but signed to become a Calgary Flame. This contract will take him through the 2025-26 NHL Season like Brenden Gaunce. It'll pay him roughly 1.75 million each season. Appearing in 72 gam

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
