An Almost Jenner Hattrick And Chinakhov Wins In 8th Round Shootout!

We open Period 1, in Arizona, with a Coyotes goal from Dzingel.  Thankfully for the Columbus Blue Jackets Captain Boone Jenner would even the odds before the period ended.  The score would be 1-1 after 1 period of hockey.  

Period 2 would result in a goal-for-all.  Kessel would score for the Coyotes, putting them up 2-1.  Their lead would be no more after 42 seconds of hockey.  Captain Jenner would score, again, tying the game at 2 goals each.  Seconds after Danforth proves 28-years-old is A-Okay for your first NHL goal.  Not only does he score his first but he also gives the CBJ their first goal lead of the evening.  Unfortunately the lead wouldn't last long, as Keller would score again for the Coyotes.  This would take us into Period 3 with a 3-3 tie.  

In the final regulation period we'd see a lot of great defense.  A little over half way through the third period though we'd see our first Blue Jackets Hattrick of the season!  This would come from none other than our 7th franchise Captain, Boone Jenner.  The Blue Jackets would again take the lead, but again it sadly wouldn't last long.  Chychrun would score for the Coyotes.  This would take us to a 4-4 tie and you guessed it, Overtime!  

Overtime can be summed up in two words, great hockey.  Both goaltenders had some amazing saves.  Both teams had some great chances to score.  However, at the end of Overtime we'd still have a tie.  Up next, shootout!  


Galchenyuk would score for the Coyotes with their second attempt.  It's not over yet though 5th Line, as Voracek would score with the Blue Jackets third attempt.  The Shootout would go into Overtime.  It would go to a round 6, Chychrun would score for the Coyotes.  Then, Nyquist would answer!  Onto round 7.  Then, in the 8th round, Chinakhov would score!  It's all over!  Final score was 5-4, and if you didn't see it, oh did you miss a great one!  Wow! 
 
Blue Jackets continue their road trip as they head to Vegas.  They will ante up, going for a possible 10-5-0 start to the 2021-22 NHL season!  Remember, with it being in Vegas the time for puck drop will be later; set for Saturday at 10:00 PM. 

Note the Article title.  Update: Boone Jenner's third goal was actually not his, so sadly no hattrick this season yet for the Blue Jackets.  It seemed as though Jenner had hit the puck prior to it scoring, this was not the case.  His third goal and the fourth of the game goes to Werenski.  Still, It's a win in so many categories!  
 
Go CBJ!

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
