The Blue Jackets got a BIG win over the Flyers last night, with SIX goals scored by defencemen, something that hasn't happened since 1992! Jet Greaves continues to be excellent, Johnny Gaudreau is 1 assist away from 500, Zach Werenski keeps adding to his career high, and Erik Gudbranson is one goal away from a new career high! But, can they do it again tonight vs the Caroline Hurricanes? We discuss. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! eBay Motors For parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and lo...

More injuries. I have no words. Blue Jackets lose to the Islanders, and on top of that, they lose Daniil Tarasov midway through the first period, and defenceman Jake Bean near the end of the third. No update on Tarasov post game, but Bean will be out "for a while". What does the team do now? The good new is that Cole Sillinger continues to grow, Jet Greaves was fantastic, and the future is bright, as we take a look at what's happening in the CHL playoffs (Hello, Denton Mateychuk) Support Us By S...

Disappointed, but not surprised: the theme of last night's game. The Blue Jackets let a floundering Pittsburgh team double them up in shots on goal, let the 31st ranked power play score on 2 of 5 attempts, and lost 3-2 to extend the losing streak in Pittsburgh to 0-10-5. Was there anything good about last night's game? Yes, actually! Daniil Tarasov deserves better, and Cole Sillinger was the best Blue Jackets skater on the ice. Plus, CHL and NCAA playoffs!
