SUMMER FULL OF BJs

HAVE NO FEAR!

You're summer shall be filled with BJs! 

The Blue Jackets season comes to an end tonight but that doesn't mean the fun has to stop. From here on out I promise to update this site regularly with everything and anything Blue Jackets related. Here are some of the things I have planned for this summer. 

• the first annual BJs awards: this year they will be decided by me but next year i'm depending on fans to help me. 
• New Fan of Hockey? : New fans show up in big numbers in two places, stanley cup champions and teams less than 15 years old. I will provide a history of hockey, a history of the Blue Jackets, and a few "Hockey for Newbs" posts. 
• What they need to work on to make the BJs spectacular and who stepped up this season.
• Summer Commentary : look out boys I will be commentating on just about anything I hear about you guys this summer. If you go to a bar wearing a glitter fanny pack, i'll know and then the whole world will know. 
• Much much more :) Don't hesitate to let me know if their is something you would like me to post.

<3 I scream, you scream, we all scream for a summer filled with BJs <3

and i'm going to make that happen for you

To Catch A Predator : Columbus @ Nashville Preview 04-08-2011

GAME TIME :8 pm

TV: Fox Sports Ohio (FS-O)

Radio: 97.1 the fan
Opponents: PredLine 

I really hope the Blue Jackets know that they are the game changers right now.

As of right now Nashville is 5th in the West. Since Dallas spanked the Avs last night the Preds need 1 point, 1 POINT!!, to clinch a play off spot. If they lose they are depending on a lot of variables from Dallas, Chicago, Anaheim, Pheonix and themselves on where they will place or if they will place.

Basically, the Preds are pulling out the big guns.

Go Big or Go Home style.

UNLESS they view the Blue Jackets as a joke and a non threat. 

In which case they will have a hard battle to fight. 

As for Columbus, their fearless leader, Rick Nash is still out with a lower back injury. The Jackets have yet to win a game with out him. 

So look for Jared "Rattle Snake" Boll out on the ice often to shake thing up and cause the kind of ruckus that will make the Preds lose their heads a little. 

This game is going to get feisty.
Especially if the Preds come in with their guard down.

The Preds want to win this game for a clincher.

The Jackets want to win this game for their fans and finish the last two games of the season on a high note. 

so tonight there will be A LOT of fans in the NHL yelling:

<3 i scream, you scream, we ALL scream for BJs <3

LETS GO JACKETS!!!   

The Magical BJs

Some people have asked me why I started a Blue Jackets blog since I grew up right outside Chicago and popped out of the womb a Blackhawks fan.

Honestly I didn't see my love of BJs coming. My whole life I have been strictly a Blackhawks and Sabres fan. The rest of the teams in the league could just go pound salt.

On Friday April 1st 2011, my mom and I, all decked out in our Blackhawks gear headed down to Columbus from Akron to root on our lovely Hawks.

The moment we walked through the doors of Nationwide Arena I could feel the magic of the arena. If you know me then you know that when I go to any sporting event the first thing I do is find my seat and scope out the nearest bathroom. I didn't do that this time. I had the urge to walk around and explore. Nationwide Arena is basically a museum for all things Blue Jackets.

 

You can tell that this venue is strictly a hockey venue. In fact I've never even been to a venue for any sporting event that takes this much pride in their team. This is the kind of venue that will make little kids become hockey fans. After being fascinated with each exhibit, including the drawings on the wall :) , I took my seat directly behind the Blue Jackets bench. The sweetest little kids were standing right in our seats waiting for their favorite players to come out. They made my heart turn into a puddle of gooey happiness. What was even cooler was the amount of players who acknowledged the kids. I've never seen so much love coming out of the locker rooms in my life. 

The best part about sitting within reaching distance of Voracek's beautiful locks is getting to see how the team reacts to the game. Yes there were often times i was distracted because a few guys didn't quite master the art of getting in and out of the bench.....sometimes you just have to use the door. It's ok, just do it, you won't look like an ass lol. I have to tell you these Blue Jackets have heart. I truthfully thought with Mason and Nash out they were going to die a slow painful death on the ice. Boy did they  bring it. In fact I think it's a good thing both of them were out. The Jackets have a lot of talent and now that the season is almost over they need to spend the summer molding that talent into something beautiful. Once this team clicks they will be contenders for the Stanley Cup. I can feel it. 

Here's the other great thing about the team: They are in Ohio.

See I've lived in the Akron/Cleveland area for 15 years. I've tried to get out multiple times and everytime I get sucked back into Ohio. So I figure if I am being held hostage in this state I might as well make the best of it. 

So from here on out I am supporting the Blue Jackets.... well as my number 2 team.

THE EMPTY NET HEART ATTACK: a semi review of the Blue Jackets: 0 vs Stars: 3

When I watch a hockey game there are TWO things I pray I won't see.

1. A skate to the carotid artery
2. An empty net

After watching the highlights from the game last night I am SO GLAD I couldn't watch the game.

Within the first five minutes of the game Dallas attacked the net and scored on a power play. That's fine. That kind of thing  happens. Even to Stanley Cup Champions.

For the rest of the game the Jackets fought back like their lives depended on it. Like they were fighting for that last playoff spot. A play-off spot that is so far out of reach at this point in the season for them.

Then there was the third period. Oh the third period. With a minute left in the period the Jackets pulled their goalie. My heart dropped and for forty five seconds I did not breathe. Dallas scored two goals in 45 seconds. TWO!
They tried, you can tell they tried. Dallas just out skated and out shot them in those 45seconds.


STARS:

1. Lehtonen : He was on point last night. Protecting the net like a cobra protecting it's eggs.
2. Richards : first goal of the game. You've got to give it to him. Out of all the goals that night his was the only one that got past a goalie.... just saying.
3. Blue Jackets: They played with heart and NEVER gave up. At least that's what the highlight reel showed me.




After Saturdays game against the Sabres the Jackets season will be over. At least I know they are going to fight to the death for the rest of their season. At least they will give their all and do it for the fans, that much is obvious.

So thank you for that BUT please, PLEASE,  no more empty nets. My heart just can't take it.

Blackhawks scream for the love of BJs : Bluejackets @ Dallas preview

Hey guys this preview is going to be short and sweet :)

Goodnews Blue Jackets tonight you have what I like to call "black magic" on your side. "Black Magic" is when all Blackhawks fans across the world are rooting for the underdog team to kick ass. When those two fanbases combine an explosion of hockey magic happens. 

Bad News: Dallas wants this win JUST as bad. Their playoff status depends on it. 


Basically what I'm saying is you're walking into a firefight. You need to attack the net. You HAVE to be on top of the rebounds tonight. 

As much as I hate saying this the BJs NEED to send BOLL out as much as possible to rattle Dallas. Hit em where it hurts. I have faith in you. 

Do this for your fans. Unless some miracle happens you are not making the playoffs. Woo GO BLUE JACKETS!!!!

<3 I scream, you scream, the Blackhawks scream for BJs <3
