Texier Update- Via My Discussion On "#CBJ Skate Space" With Dylan Tyrer and Jeff Svoboda- 3/2/22

If you don't listen to, and join in with #CBJ Skate Space with Dylan Tyrer and Jeff Svoboda, I encourage you to do so from now on.  It's on Twitter Wednesday nights.  I joined for the first time tonight, @cbj_writer, because I had a consistent question from many of you to ask the guys.  Where is Alexander Texier, and why has he not returned to practice?  Many have asked this due to his broken figure injury being estimated at a 4-week recovery.  We're well into week 5 and my curiosity is with you 5th Line, so I asked!  Further, they also gave me some insight into the Trade Rumors too, so here's what was said.  

HIs injury just needs a little more time to heal, and with it being a broken finger, I'm not surprised.  As I said in the show tonight when talking to the guys, Bally Sports zoomed in on his hand after the hit which broke said finger, and you could tell it was injured badly.  As far as Dylan and Jeff know though, his recovery is going well, and  Jeff Svoboda said "I don't think it going to be a rest of the season kind of thing".  He also mentions that of every injured Blue Jacket he see Texier being the "longest time frame" regarding his return.  In addition, it is true that Alexander Texier has gone back to France for a visit.  This information was also confirmed by Jeff in tonight's "#CBJ Skate Space".  

Regarding the spooky trade rumors.  Again, I believe Dylan said it and said it best, "the Blue Jackets will take calls on anybody." "Taking calls is different than making calls, that's what I'll say."  Again, this is Jeff Svoboda's direct quote from tonight.  So, I hope this helps some of the unease, not just with Texier, but other players in the future who also have these same types of rumors circulating about them.  The team may listen, but by no means does that hold any truth to the team wanting to depart with that player.  Personally, I know I'm relieved.  Texier has been a great player for us this season.  He's young, at only 22 years of age, and has had 20 total points in 36 games this NHL Season.  (11 goals and 9 assists.)  For his skill and his sportsmanship as a Blue Jacket, I look forward to telling you all that he's returned to the team and practice very soon.  Be assured I'll stay on top of this story and any others which pop up in the future.  So, be sure to follow me on both Twitter @cbj_writer and Facebook @bluejacketblogger.  Have a good night 5th Line.  

Go CBJ!

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...
