The Blue Jackets beat the Red Wings both physically and on the scoreboard tonight at the Huntington Rink in Traverse City, Michigan. After spotting the Wings a 2-0 lead it was all Jackets by taking penalties then they put the foot on the pedal and never took it off. Tomas Kubalik started off the scoring [...]

Ok time to talk about the defensemen and goaltenders the Blue Jackets will be taking up to Traverse City. For the second year in a row the Jackets are only bringing prospects to Traverse City and are bringing the same eight defensemen they took last year. Now you can take this a lot of different [...]

Well its beginning to look a lot like hockey season with the Blue Jackets and one of the on ice crew posting pictures of the ice going in. Its only 11 days until the Traverse City Prospects Tournament gets under way at the Center Ice Arena in Traverse City, Michigan. For the second year in [...]

When: Sunday, August 14 @ 2:00 PM Where: Buffalo Wild Wings, 968 W 5th Ave, Columbus. What: Cannonfest baby! This year marks the second year for Cannonfest, but will be my first time attending. From what I hear, you can expect to enjoy chatting it up with fellow fans, while enjoying some wings, drinks, and [...]

Well the NHL draft is over and while the Blue Jackets lost one headache to trade they selected six prospects including three centers, a right wing, a defenseman and a goalie. This draft was a change of sorts for Scott Howson, before this year Howson hadn’t drafted a player under 6’1″ since the 2008 draft [...]

Onto the third round Jackets nation and before we get started I wanna say while still being judgmental, I’m gonna be a little easier on the picks. Because when I asked my sources (in other words I asked two people on twitter) about the third round being when the draft becomes a crapshoot, they agreed. [...]

Back again to help figure out how the Blue Jackets have done at the NHL Draft. Last time I did the first round this time I’ll be focusing on the second round or as it should be called “the draft pick graveyard” but I’ll explain that in a bit. In the Jackets 11 drafts they’ve selected [...]

The NHL draft is less than two weeks away and the Blue Jackets decide to fire the man who has run the draft table for the team’s first 11 drafts. So with Don Boyd being shown the door I decided to do what I do best, dig through stats and figure out how the Blue [...]

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the Blue Jackets prospect awards live from your computer. This post i’ll give my take on the Blue Jackets top prospects by position and league with a few superlative like ones thrown in for fun. Now these are just my opinion and the positions are based off the listing on [...]

Well we’ve come to the end of the line folks this will probably be my quickest post ever because I only have 1 player to talk about and he only played in 1 of the 4 games his team played. A quick overview of how the tournament balances out. The 3 CHL league champions(OHL, QMJHL, WHL) plus [...]

We’re coming to the end of the line folks, I started this season keeping track of the Blue Jackets 2 minor league affiliates, 8 prospects playing in the Canadian Hockey League and 11 playing collegiate hockey also adding 1 at the NHL trade deadline. Teams that had a prospect included 4 division champs in the CHL [...]

Back again all for the prospect review, like last time some of this information may have already been said. Colgate defenseman Thomas Larkin played for Italy in the Division 1 World Championship competing against other hockey powerhouses such as Spain, the Netherlands and Korea. Then in the team’s last game it played against the host nation [...]

Hello all i’m back for the Blue Jacket’s prospect review. Now Fort Wayne forced a game 4 with last night’s dramatic comeback win but with the Canadian Hockey League’s next rounds starting tomorrow night i’d figure I better get typing. Now some of this stuff might have been in my last week in review but [...]
