Columbus Blue Jackets 2025 Preseason Begins Tomorrow!

It's been an eventful offseason for the Columbus Blue Jackets, but now it's time to get to work on the franchise's 25th season. Tomorrow night, the Columbus Blue Jackets will host the St. Louis Blues in their first preseason game. This game will start at 5:00 p.m., and I'll have a recap for you afterward. The following night, September 22nd, we'll welcome the Buffalo Sabers to Nationwide Arena at 7:00 p.m. and then go to Buffalo, New York, on September 23rd for a game at 7:00 p.m. But, wait, there's more! On the 24th, we'll welcome the rival Pittsburgh Penguins to Nationwide Arena. So, for those who've been missing hockey, aka everyone reading this, you're about to get four consecutive nights of Blue Jackets hockey to crush that hunger! There will be three more preseason games following these four, and I'll let you know the details surrounding those once we get through this four-game block. It's been a fun summer and nice to have some time off, but I'm ready to see our Jackets in action again on the ice. Further, I can't wait to see how they build on the success of last season and improve in what's already a historic season ahead. 

Welcome back, 5th Line; it doesn't matter if it's 90 degrees outside, it's hockey season in NWA!

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...

Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau: One Year in Memoriam

I've never lied to my readers, and I won't start now; I do not want to write this post. Then again, who would want to? It's been one year since we all learned the devastating news that an 'alleged' drunk driver had killed Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau while riding their bikes. Honestly, 'devastating' doesn't feel like a strong enough word for how I still feel, and how I know many of you all do, too. It had been the evening before their sister's wedding. We already knew that Matthew's wife, Madeline, was expecting their first child, a son later named Trip, but at the funeral, we'd also learn that Johnny's wife, Meredith, had been expecting their third child, another son they named Carter. The fact that both women had healthy babies amid the stress of losing their partners is nothing short of a prayer answered. The strength of these two women is incredible, as they don't just raise their combined four children without the loves of their l...
