This game was essentially the exact opposite of the Blue Jackets’ win over the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night. Despite a slow start over the weekend, Columbus put together a strong final 40 minutes and wore down the Red Wings, but tonight it was a much different story. The Los Angeles Kings were a […]
Blue Jackets Beat Red Wings 4-2
February 4, 2013 by
Facing a team on the second game of a back-to-back and eager to rebound after a tough loss Thursday night, the Blue Jackets talked about getting back to their identity and doing it for the length of a hockey game. Aside from a five-minute span in the first period, they were awfully close to assembling […]
St. Louis Whips Blue Jackets 4-1
February 1, 2013 by
Blue Jackets coach Todd Richards said he was interested to see how his team came out of the gates tonight against a St. Louis club that would be ready to play, and one that had been playing very well to start the season. Unfortunately, he had an answer in the first 10 minutes. Barret Jackman […]
Wild Beat Blue Jackets 3-2
January 30, 2013 by
In what has become a trend they want to buck immediately, the Blue Jackets found themselves in a two-goal hole again but scratched and clawed their way back into the hockey game Tuesday night at Xcel Energy Center. Their first period didn’t begin poorly and they backed the Minnesota Wild into its own end for […]
Blue Jackets Beat Stars 2-1
January 29, 2013 by
It was scrappy, diligent, and persistent — but regardless of the preferred adjective, the Blue Jackets sorely needed to win this game Monday night. Fueled by a momentum-turning goal by Vinny Prospal just 82 seconds into the third period, Columbus shrugged off a sluggish first period and assembled a solid 40 minutes of hockey when […]
Blackhawks Beat Blue Jackets 3-2
January 28, 2013 by
The end result is a 3-2 loss for the Blue Jackets Saturday night, but the underlying story was far more complex and disappointing. On a night when the Chicago Blackhawks sought their fifth consecutive win to open the season, they got perhaps their strongest resistance yet from a Blue Jackets club that found its tenacious, […]
Avalanche Blank Blue Jackets 4-0
January 25, 2013 by
Aside from the first 10-15 minutes of this hockey game, the Blue Jackets were in pretty good shape and playing one of their better games of the young season. But unfortunately, spurts don’t count, and the early moments dearly cost Columbus Thursday night as it dropped its third straight game, this one 4-0 to Colorado. […]
Coyotes Smack Blue Jackets 5-1
January 24, 2013 by
The Phoenix Coyotes were the winless team and the team hungriest for a win heading into Wednesday’s game, and they did nothing to dispel that notion, beating the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-1. After a sluggish first period from both sides, the Coyotes answered a 1-0 lead by the Blue Jackets with two quick goals midway […]
Red Wings Beat Blue Jackets in Shootout
January 22, 2013 by
Two games, two shootouts, three points in the standings. If you asked the Blue Jackets if they’d accept that result three days ago, most would take it. But there was still a prevailing feeling of disappointment inside the Columbus dressing room tonight after a 4-3 shootout loss to the Red Wings at Nationwide Arena. It […]
Blue Jackets Win Season Opener in Shootout
January 21, 2013 by
The Blue Jackets have experienced a long string of horror stories within the confines of Bridgestone Arena in their 12-year existence, finding some of the toughest ways to lose hockey games they probably should have won. But Saturday, when many players talked about beginning a new era in 2013, they shrugged off the weight of […]
