Werenski Wins Big In Las Vegas 2022 NHL All-Star Game's Skill Challenge!

All 5th Line fans know Zach Werenski's got game, so it should come as no surprise that he won a skill's challenge tonight, in Las Vegas!  He's the only Columbus Blue Jacket in the 2022 NHL All-Star Game, and tonight he made the full fan base proud.  As Tweeted out by the organizations official Twitter just minutes ago, Zach Werenski took top honors in the "Discover Fountain Face-Off Challenge".  This was one of those most notable events of the All-Star Game, not just for the challenge itself, but for where it took place, the Bellagio Fountain.  

It's such a big honor to go to the All-Star Game for any NHL player.  To win a skills challenge is even more so though.  What did Werenski say about the win?  He told Jeff Svoboda, "Every time I come to Vegas now, I'll walk by the fountains or drive by them and I'll have that memory. ... I felt like I did pretty good. I obviously won it, so I didn't do too bad." Oh, humble Zach Werenski, you make us proud!

Also, regarding the All-Star Game itself, remember, that is tomorrow. The first round will see Zach Werenski's Metropolitan Division will meet at center ice, a showdown between themselves and the Pacific Division has been set. I can't wait!

Congrats, Werenski!

Tweet Two: "With the draw just done here at the NHL All-Star Game, the Metropolitan Division will take on the Pacific Division tomorrow in the first round. Also, a magician just had Gritty break a stick and I'm not sure what is happening."

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...

New York Islanders @ Columbus Blue Jackets: 4/17/25

And so it comes to an end: The season that started as a nightmare ends in a way we could've only dreamed. Yes, I know we're not chasing a Stanley Cup in 2025, but for how this season began...this season shouldn't have ended like this. I'm optimistic, even in light of injuries, pain, and loss, and even I wouldn't have thought that we'd battle the Montreal Canadians for the final Eastern Wild Card spot at game 82 this season. I sure as hell wouldn't have predicted some of the numbers our Blue Jackets put up this season either. I am so proud of this team and where they're going. So, for the final time this 2024-25 NHL Season, let's write Chapter 82 in the books at home in Nationwide Arena against the New York Islanders.    With Jet Greaves in net to close out what has been a thrilling two weeks for the young goaltender, the puck would drop on the final game of the season. I'm not going to lie, some good shots were made, but there wasn't much coo...
