Blue Jackets Mean Business, Land Marian Gaborik
By Tim Lucarelli (@tlucarelli) A few days before the trade deadline, the consensus was that most of the big fish had already been moved – Jay Bouwmeester, Ryane Clowe, Jaromir Jagr, Derek Roy, Jarome Iginla, and Brenden Morrow. But Columbus GM Jarmo Kekalainen – who had been relatively quiet since being named GM on February [...]

Sergei Bobrovsky Perfect, Columbus Blue Jackets Win Fourth Straight
By Tim Lucarelli (@tlucarelli) Despite having lingered in the bottom of the standings for most of the season, the Columbus Blue Jackets lead the NHL in fewest giveaways this season. They are actually the only team to still have only double-digit totals (97). That kind of discipline has paid off lately, as Columbus is now [...]

Columbus Blue Jackets Recall Johansen, Place Johnson on IR
By Tim Lucarelli (@tlucarelli) In Saturday’s game against the St. Louis Blues, Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Jack Johnson took a hard hit in the first that sent him to the dressing room. Johnson returned to action in the second, but it was only temporary, as another hit took him out of the lineup for the [...]

Columbus Blue Jackets Fire GM Scott Howson
By Tim Lucarelli (@tlucarelli) Just one day after the team’s biggest win of the season – a 6-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks – the Columbus Blue Jackets have announced the firing of general manager Scott Howson.

Anisimov Powers Columbus Blue Jackets to Victory
By Tim Lucarelli (@tlucarelli) Entering last night’s matchup, the Columbus Blue Jackets were 1-3-1 all time on Groundhog Day, and more specifically, 0-3-0 when Buckeye Chuck predicted an early spring. Although Buckeye Chuck once again predicted an early spring, the Blue Jackets put forth what was likely their strongest 60 minutes of hockey thus far [...]

Columbus Blue Jackets Open Training Camp
By Tim Lucarelli (@tlucarelli) On a warm and rainy day in Columbus, Ohio, NHL hockey finally returned. For an organization that finished in last place by nine points last season and then subsequently lost out on the draft lottery for the first overall selection, there were certainly some question marks surrounding the level of fan [...]

Columbus Blue Jackets’ Post-Lockout Outlook
By Tim Lucarelli (@tlucarelli) On January 6th, hockey fans woke up to what felt like Christmas morning. It was the moment everyone had been waiting for – Gary Bettman and Donald Fehr had finally announced that the NHL and NHLPA had come to an agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement. Hockey fans and players [...]

By Tim Lucarelli (@tlucarelli) With the NHL lockout just hours away, each team is taking every action possible to keep their players active.

Dissecting the Columbus Blue Jackets Blue Line
By Tim Lucarelli (@tlucarelli) At the heart of each successful hockey team lies a strong defense. While the position is much less glamorous than forward – a position which carries most of the spotlight in terms of goal production – or goaltending – just ask Sergei Bobrovsky how much spotlight a goaltender can receive in [...]

Brandon Dubinsky Looks to Bring Grit, Passion to the Columbus Blue Jackets
By Tim Lucarelli (@tlucarelli) At the NHL trade deadline in February, Brandon Dubinsky was well aware that his name was being floated in the rumor mill. Hearing the possibility of being traded is something that each player reacts to differently, and Brandon tried his best to keep business as usual. At the time, he had [...]
