The Win Slipped Through The Blue Jackets Gloves, 5-2 In Boston @ Bruins- 4/2/22

In Period 1 we saw 2 goals, one from Haula of the Bruins was first, at 15:09.  Then, Nyquist would score at 19:32 for the Blue Jackets.  Assists on his goal would go to Sillinger and Peeke.  After 1 period we'd have a 1-1 tied game.  

In Period 2 we'd see much of the same, but the goals would be flipped this period.  The first goal of this period would come just 0:42 into the period.  This would come from Danforth, who has been having a great week.  Assists for this goal would go to Chinakhov and Kuraly.  After this, at 18:13, Marchand would score for the Bruins.  Again, tied game but this time 2-2 after a second period of hockey!

Period 3 would be just great defense until 16:06, where Haula would score his second goal of the night.  This would take the Bruins up to a 3-2, one goal lead, will less than 4:00 to go.  Sadly, just a few seconds after Merzlikins was pulled for an extra player, DeBrusk would score at exactly 18:00.  Then, another empty net goal would come from Bruins Coyle at 19:54.  So, sadly, this is how the game would end tonight, with a 5-2 Bruins win.  

Tonight was an incredibly close game.  This is another game where you have to look beyond the final score because this team played great, tonight.  I know everyone is wanting a win, I do too.  Again, for how much this team is missing right now, they're playing very well.  For a reminder, no Head Coach, down an Assistant Coach, no Captain, no lead defenseman.  5-2, in Boston, isn't a bad game at all, especially when you look at the game recap above.  The Bruins got away in the third period, up until then they were right on pace with this talented Bruins team.  That is great.  

Also, remember 5th Line, now the Bruins come here!  I see revenge from Rick Nash's jersey retirement night on the horizon, folks.  It'll be 1 day shy of exactly a month since, can you believe that?  I can't.  Monday night's game will have a 7:00 PM EST puck drop, again.  Hopefully by then we'll have some coaches back at lease, we'll see and I'll keep you posted.  

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...
