Former Blue Jacket Brandon Saad Gains Assist In 4-0 Shutout Against Wild In Game 1 Round 1- 5/3/22

So, technically this game started last night, bein May 2.  However, as I write this it is officially May 3rd.  Again, I'm covering former Columbus Blue Jackets in the playoffs on other teams.  If they score I'll write a post.  If their team wins a series, I'll write a post.  If this doesn't interest you, have no fear, I'll be writing game recaps and news for the Columbus Blue Jackets too in the off season.  My writing for other teams is temporary and will end at the conclusion of the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoff.  

With that being said, Brandon Saad would gain a point in this game!  As I said in the title of this blog post, the St. Louis Blues schooled the Minnesota Wild in Round 1, Game 1.  Brandon Saad's assist point would come on the final Blues goal of the game, in Period 3, on Perron's goal at 13:34.  His would be the second assist on the goal.  Again, this games final would be a shutout for the Blues 4-0 over the Wild, in Minnesota.  

Amazing enough, with former Blue Jackets Domi and Cole gaining an assist each tonight, for the Hurricanes in their 5-1 win over the Bruins, this gives 3 of the 4 players I'd been watching tonight a point, less Foligno.  However, I'm sure Figgy will get one soon, I can feel it.  How do you like that 5th Line?  I know I do.  Again, I'll always wish our guys were out there representing Columbus, but having great players out there who were once hear is a second best for me, always.  Well done guys, keep it up!  

We'll have even more Blue Jackets to watch tomorrow night.  I'll do a preview for all the Round 1, Game 1's of night 2, tomorrow afternoon.  Check back here for that.  Also, tomorrow we'll resume our highlights for the Columbus Blue Jackets season!  Check back for that too, 5th Line.  

No matter where you are or who you're cheering on right now, 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...
