Flyers Win 4-1, Splitting 2 Game Series With Blue Jackets- 4/7/22

 The night started out amazing with tributes to both Military members and Cam Atkinson.  At 15:06 we'd finally have our first goal of the game, a Blue Jackets one too!  This would come from Robinson.  Assists went to Gavrikov and Kuraly.  Sadly, this would be the only Blue Jackets goal of the night.  In the second period Connauton would score at 8:00.  Then, Tippet would score at 13:26.  With a chaser by Cates at 16:41.  This would make it 3-1 Flyers at the end of Period 2.  With a goal from Konecny at 16:55 however, the Flyers would seal the Blue Jackets fate, tonight.  The final score was 4-1.  

While the game was a loss, the players constantly shot the puck, it just didn't quite make the score.  Many post shots tonight.  This will be fixed in the off season, I'm sure.  As for goaltending, Merzlikins tried his best.  I believe the second Flyers goal he lost sight of the puck, but he constantly worked to keep the puck out of his net and his team in this game.  Again, tonight was a win from the start with Military Appreciation Night.  To all of our current and retired military members, along with their family members, I personally thank you for your service.  Also, we miss you Cam Atkinson, it was nice to see you...even if your team beat us!  We're even!  

Next game is Saturday in Detroit, at the Red Wings.  Puck drop is 7:00 PM.  It will be on Bally Sports Ohio.  If there are any line changes before then I'll let you know!  

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...
