And away we go!

From BlueJackets Xtra:

The fans are speaking out. I'm trying my absolute hardest to stay positive, but damn is it hard.

Stop the bleeding he says, everyone has to buy in he says, we'll turn it around he says. There have been so many chances to "turn it around." Its like Carrot Top, the same old shtick gets old fast.

Probable lines for tonight:

CBJ

DET

Puck-rakers:

Yahoo! Sports:

BlueJackets.com:

Alexandre Picard has been recalled and should play tonight against the Wings. Spark? Maybe, we'll find out tonight.
