kylee 727 Report post Posted March 20, 2013 I don't think this is a fluke. John Davidson has actually finally changed the culture in Columbus from a team with absolutely no identity, HORRENDOUS defense and goaltending to a team that works extremely hard and plays a trap game. This worked for the Blues when they finally become good again. I don't think Columbus is a playoff team yet, but weirder things have happened. It's a shortened season so who knows. A Chicago/Columbus series (1 vs 8) would be very interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted March 20, 2013 Another win. Letestu scored again. 32 saves by Bobrovsky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuckeyeWingsfan80 209 Report post Posted March 23, 2013 5-1 Win tonight over Calgary. 24 saves for Bob again and Foligno scored 2. Seeing is believing....I don't think they're going anywhere but up. Maybe not this year (I do think this hot streak will end and they'll fall back a bit), but damn this might be the first time since 2009 that Columbus has had a buzz about the Blue Jackets. They even had 14000 in the stands on a night when Ohio State was playing, that's pretty damned good for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted March 23, 2013 2 goals from Nick Foligno tonight. Goals from Jared Boll and Colton Gillies. Anisimov got a much needed goal. He has struggled this year. Bobrovsky made 24 saves. Brandon Dubinsky is reportedly out indefinitely with an undisclosed injury. Hopefully he won't be out long. Doesn't sound particularly good, though. Anyhow, Columbus continues to roll. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doc Holliday 1,888 Report post Posted March 23, 2013 Even with this streak they aren't even in a playoff spot. It is still going to take a lot of this (plus help from other teams faltering with their games in hand) for them to be able to make a run at the playoffs. So far, so good, though.

So far, so good, though. they are 8-0-2 in their last 10, I'm pretty sure they have a point in their last 11 or 12 games, and they are tied for 8th right now, if they keep up like this then they will certainly make the playoffs, and get swept by the wings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422 Report post Posted March 24, 2013 Looks like they're the ones winning the Nash trade right now. Yes they are and good for them. Would be funny if they make the playoffs and actually beat someone in the first round. Not us of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Z Winged Dangler 2,082 Report post Posted April 1, 2013 I was just looking through the mock draft and noticed that Columbus has 3 picks in the 1st round this year. They already have graduated prospects that are gonna be awesome like Atkinson and Calvert, and have Ryan Murray on the way. But 3 picks in the 1st round of this years draft is gonna be huge for them. Hope the other teams in their division have fun with them when they're finally good. http://www.mynhldraft.com/NHL-Mock-Draft/ They have the Rangers and Kings 1st rounders, and as a side note to make Penguin haters like myself happy, Calgary has their 1st round pick.

frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted April 1, 2013 While I am happy for their fans, unbelievable what they've gone through I don't understand it: They've traded away their top-scorer, face of the franchise basically have no real first line and playing playoff hockey? 3 first round picks is damn huge and if the Rangers truely tuned out Tortarella the Rangers pick mid be a good one also. Sure they have had nowhere to go but up but this fast is really impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the while the BJ's have 3 1st round picks to build around him, Atkinson, Calvert and Murray moving forward. They're gonna be really really good in a couple years.

Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted April 5, 2013 Bobrovski is this year's white-hot Cinderalla gorilla. I can see him singlehandedly thrashing us in four games, in the first round. And that makes me a sad panda. Blue Jackets push the Bruins to seven games in the SCF. Calling it right now. (Only half-joking.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,755 Report post Posted April 5, 2013 You know, they sort of remind me of a poor man's LA Kings from last season. A lot of tough, scrappy, opportunistic scorers, and solid defensive core, and one really elite skilled player. Plus good goaltending. If this team makes the playoffs they'll really do well in the tight checking, physically grinding sort of game. I can see them being a spoiler. 1 Z Winged Dangler reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
