Slow Start for the BJs

Right now there is as running joke with some of my friends that I am the reason why the Blue Jackets have yet to win a game this season. They claim my lack of blogging and abandonment of this blog has been a jinx for the team. So in an effort to prove them wrong I'll be blogging yet again.

When you look at the roster you've got Nash, Vermette, Umberger, Carter, Prospal, Wisniewski, and Mason. I get all giddy and giggly when I see those names on one team. They SHOULD be lighting it up. They aren't. In fact they have yet to win a game this season. To make it even worse they lost in a shootout to the AVS. THE AVS!!


Blue Jackets get your shit together and prove my friends right that I am a jinx for not blogging.

I SCREAM

YOU SCREAM 

WE ALL SCREAM FOR A HOPEFULLY BETTER SEASON... please

Welcome Baby BJs

It's a little late but I would like to welcome the precious little ones to the NHL.

After giving up their first round pick in a trade for Jeff Carter the Blue Jackets watched the action fly. As the second day rolled around there were some antsy guys up for the draft. With each pick through out the day I'm sure many of these guys had thrown the towel in thinking they wouldn't go at all. Over the next six rounds the Blue Jackets drafted six guys who show fight, heart, integrity and undeniable skill. Over the next week I will give you an in depth look on our six new little jackets. Until then lets give a big BJs welcome to Boone Jenner, T.J. Tynan, Mike Reilly, Seth Ambroz, Lukas Sedlak, and Anton Forsberg.

you scream

we all scream for new BJs !

Welcome to Ohio Carter!

After a full nights rest and a margarita I am excited to have Jeff Carter on our team. Let me be frank with you for a moment. Last night I was pulling my hair out and very angry that Voracek was traded. Voracek, I love you man so please if you are somehow reading this do not take offense. Moving Carter to Columbus is the best move they have made since signing Nash. Thinking about the Nash-Carter dynamic makes my heart pitter patter. This past season stats for both of these guys is so similar you would think they were the Sedin twins except less creepy and not related. Let me break it down for you. 

GOALS

Nash: 32

Carter: 36

ASSISTS

Nash: 34

Carter: 30

PARTIES IN THE SIN BIN (aka PIMs)

Nash: 34

Carter: 39

POWER PLAY GOALS

Nash: 6

Carter: 8

GAME WINNING GOALS

Nash: 7

Carter: 7

SHOTS

Nash: 305

Carter: 335

They are clutch players who attack the goal constantly. With Carter's impeccable defensive skills the Blue Jackets franchise will no longer rest solely on the shoulders of Nash. This season will be action packed and I forsee a shot at the Playoffs. Maybe we will even get a new bromance out of this trade. Who doesn't love a good bromance?

I scream

You scream

We all scream FOR BJs!!!

THE SCHEDULE OF BJs IS FINALLY POSTED!!!!!

Since the posts I saved refuse to post I'm just going to pretend I took a little summer vacation. Teachers get one, why can't I?

 Hello everyone I am back and what a great day to be back.

Today the NHL Schedule was released. I have been obsessing about this day since Canucks fans burnt their city down. The schedule shows us that hockey season is just around the corner. It gives me something to mark off on my calender everyday. It gives me something to live for this summer. 106 more days until the regular season begins.106 more days until cold arenas and beer. 106 more days until parties in the sin bin. 106 more days until I stop hanging out with my friends because they don't understand the joy of hockey.

Lets quickly go over the "must see" games of the first three months.

• The home opener on October 7th vs the Preds. It looks as though we have a chance to start the year off with a bang. Literally and figuratively. My cannon jokes are lame but I will get there eventually. 
• On october 10th we should all watch the game from home just in case Canucks fans get a little rowdy and burn columbus down. If this happens please save BD MONGOLIANS. All you can eat stir fry deserves to be saved.
• When the Winnipeg *insert nickname here* rolls into town on November 12th I expect to see a full house. I will be severely disappointed if I roll up to Nationwide Arena and only see fans from Canada. Fans of Columbus this is a big deal. Seeing this game will help you decide the "likeability" factor of this new franchise. Plus, who doesn't want to see Dustin Byfuglien play on a team located in what could be the whitest city in the world. 
• Finally, December 18th, brings in our rivals. The St. Louis Blows Blues. Lets bring on the parties in the sin bin. I'm talking to you Mr. Boll and Mr. Dorsett. Bring on the pain and party. Just don't "Burrow" someone in the neck or "Bertuzzi" a player. 

 

I scream

You scream

We all scream for an exciting year of BJ action!
