Detroit Red Wings @ Columbus Blue Jackets: 2022-23 NHL Season Game Recap 22

Even with a goal at 6:34 by A. Czarnik and another at 17:36, by D. Kubalik, the Blue Jackets were giving the Red Wings a decent fight.  However, the Red Wings would lead 2-0 after Period 1.  

Period 2 would start off with yet another Red Wings goal, this one from L. Raymond at 7:03.  Then, the Blue Jackets would break though at 16:10, with Marcus Bjork's second goal of his 2022-23 NHL Season!  An eight assist to Captain Boone Jenner and a seventh assist on the season going to Jack Roslovic.  So, this period would end with a 3-1 Red Wings lead.  

Period 3 would continue the interesting evening.  At 1:59 the Blue Jackets would come within a goal of the Red Wings, thanks to Kent Johnson's sixth goal of this season!  Assists on this goal would go to Johnny Gaudreau, who is already up to eighteen this first season as a Blue Jacket.  Secondary assist would go to Boone Jenner, his eighth of this season.  After this a shocking moment would happen.  The Red Wings would score, but Head Coach Brad Larson would challenge it and WIN!  (Go on, count how many times that's happened, I'll wait.  Should take you only a few seconds!)  Anyway, that goal would come off the scoreboard for Offsides.  Unfortunately, it would only help us for a blink of an eye.  At 6:08 A. Copp would score for the Red Wings, taking them to a 4-2 lead.  The Blue Jackets would take Korpisalo out of the net for a 6 on 5 chance to tie the game, but tonight it wasn't in the stars.  An upside though, they wouldn't allow the Red Wings to score again on that empty net.  So, that's something.  

Again, as I said Friday evening, the Red Wings are a good team this season.  The Blue Jackets played well tonight, but it just wasn't enough.  Also, the Red Wings wanted redemption, that 4-1 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights isn't an easy puck to swallow, especially in your home arena, a fact we know 5th Line.  

Game 23 of this 2022-23 NHL Season will be Tuesday, December 6th at 7:00 PM, against the Penguins in Pitsburgh.  If an update comes for Vladislav Gavrikhov, who left the game in Period 2, I'll let you know once I know.  I like to end on a high note, if possible, and tonight it is.  Third Star tonight does go to Captain Boone Jenner.  He had an 0-2-2 night.  

Go CBJ!

What the Ranger's Elimination From the 2024 NHL Playoffs Means for the Columbus Blue Jackets Acquired 2026 Draft Pick

It's been an interesting 2024 NHL Playoffs already. This was captivating by watching the divide among the 5th Line fans who chose to watch the playoffs and cheer on former Blue Jackets. As the Eastern Conference Final was set, we saw Sergei Bobrovsky on one end of the ice as a Florida Panther. On the other end of the ice, representing the New York Rangers, stood three former Jackets, Artemi Panarin, Alexander Wennberg, and Jack Roslovic. Due to the final player I listed with the New York Rangers end of the ice, this playoff series had implications for the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Trade the organization did, sending Jack Roslovic to the New York Rangers, was for a conditional Fourth Round Draft Pick in the future 2026 NHL Draft. The condition to this pick was that if the Rangers advanced all the way to the Stanley Cup Final 2024, the Draft pick would increase to the third round. With the Florida Panthers eliminating the New York Rangers tonight in Game 6 (the final was 2-1), The B

Brenden Gaunce, Nick Blankenburg, and Jake Bean Sign NHL Deals Away From Columbus Blue Jackets

The 2024 Trade Deadline gives and takes away every season. Today, the Columbus Blue Jackets signed Sean Monahan to a deal that will last five years and give him a 5.5 Million AAV. This was the brighter side of the day as several Columbus Blue Jackets and Cleveland Monsters players signed elsewhere, including a favorite of mine.  The 30-year-old Center, Brenden Gaunce, left us to join the Minnesota Wild. He agreed to a deal that will go through the 2025-26 NHL Season. He was in Columbus last season for 24 games and had 4 points with an even 2 goals and 2 assists. I have yet to see what his contract is valued at, but nevertheless, I wish him good luck with the Wild.  Jake Bean had the 5th Line divided. Some saw value in him staying, while others wanted him traded months ago. He wasn't traded today but signed to become a Calgary Flame. This contract will take him through the 2025-26 NHL Season like Brenden Gaunce. It'll pay him roughly 1.75 million each season. Appearing in 72 gam

Rest in Peace, Johnny and Mathew Gaudreau- Part One

I've learned something over the roughly two and a half weeks since we lost Johnny Gaudreau and his brother, Mathew; I will never be ready to write this blog. I've been avoiding this because my words seem hollow and empty to me; like anything I could say would be redundant and not enough. August 29th, 2024 will forever be burned into my brain alongside July 4th, 2021, the date we lost goaltender, Matiss Kivlenieks, in a firework accident when he used himself to shield others. To say this franchise and its fans have suffered too many tragedies since I started covering the team in May 2020 is an understatement. When we lost 'Kivi' I never imagined doing this again, but I am, and I won't lie to you because I never have; I hate that I have to do this again. My heart is shattered, especially for the Gaudreau family, and I don't think I'll ever find all the pieces. The hockey community will forever be changed by this tragedy. None of us want to accept that this nig
