Max Domi Has Returned From Covid-19 Quarantine In New York

It's always nice to hear of a player returning from an injury or illness.  However, that may be more true than ever for Columbus Blue Jackets fans, regarding Forward Max Domi.  The young man has already overcome so much this year, starting with returning over a month early from what had been announced as a 6-month recovery from shoulder surgery.  After this, he suffered a fractured rib early into the 2021-22 NHL season.  Again it was announced he'd miss a month, but instead he came back after only 2 weeks of healing.  Days after his return from the rib fracture he'd be diagnosed positive for Covid-19, and fans all felt for his struggles to just remain on the ice, once more.  

Now, it seems another up-turn in luck has been brought to this 26-year-old player.  Diagnosed on Halloween (31st of October), he had to remain in quarantine for a minimum of 10 days, by rule of the NHL.  This would leave him officially out, at minimum again, on November 10th (Wednesday).  This is just the first hurdle to clear for Domi though, regarding his return to practice and play.  In addition to his quarantine he must produce a negative Covid-19 test.  This will then be promptly followed with cardiac testing, to be sure his heart is not suffering from a rare, but serious, complication among athletes who contract this virus.   

In his mere 4 games played this 2021-22 NHL season he's scored a total of 4 points.  We never want to rush a player returning, especially from something like Covid-19.  With that being said, knowing Patrick Laine will be out Friday as the Washington Capitals come to town, it would be incredible to see him back on the ice, again.  

We can't wait to see you again, Domi, no matter how soon that may be!

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
