The Power Rankings are now out. Keep in mind they were posted within the last few days so they might not reflect the current records of the league.
After a holiday hiatus, we're bringing the ever so popular power rankings back! Its been another struggling December for the Jackets, but a big win on Monday brings hope going into the new year. Can Columbus finish 2010 on a strong note and take 2011 by storm?
CARRY THE FLAG!!!
GO JACKETS!!!
ESPN - 25th out of 30 (Last week: 22nd; updated: 12/27/10; record: 17-15-3)
"The Blue Jackets were waxed again Sunday by Chicago -- they can't score and can't keep opponents from scoring on them. Guess that pretty much sums up the Blue Jackets' lot in hockey right now."
TSN - 24th out of 30 (Last week: 20th; updated: 12/28/10; record: 18-15-3)
"Between Jared Boll, Derek Dorsett and now Tom Sestito, the Blue Jackets have no shortage of homegrown pugilists. The homegrown scorers need to start living up to their expectations."
CBS Sports - 27th out of 30 (Last week: 25th; updated: 12/27/10; record: 17-15-3)
"The Jackets are better, a little anyway on the road than they are at home where they suffer from the league's worst power play."
Fox Sports - 19th out of 30 (Last week: 20th; updated: 12/29/10; record: 18-15-3)
"The only thing the Blue Jackets did right in Week 12 was put an end to a four-game losing streak. The team dropped two of three last week, with its only win coming at home on Dec. 21 when it knocked off the Calgary Flames 3-1."
SBN - 11th out of 30 (Last week: 12th; updated: 12/28/10; record: 18-15-3)
From The Rink - 21st out of 30 (Last week: 19th; updated: 12/24/10; record: 17-14-3)

That should be a conference rank. 11th out of 15. Thanks for catching that!

I was confused
I know the Detroit blogger once had us at 1st in the conference, but that’s some real faith to have us outside of the top-10 after the bad month we had.

I’d love for this to not be true but these are about right and even a bit high at Fox! We are without a number one goaltender, our defense is too slow, our offense is non-existent and our special teams are anything but special! And two years in a row of pretty much the exact same thing proves my theory that we catch teams napping early in the season to have a hot start! Proves that we are a whole lot closer to actually being the team of the past 15 games then the team of the first 15!
Playoffs, you want to talk about playoffs…LOL
No, I think these are about right for how the team has played lately, but to say that this is indicative of the whole season would be stupid.
Garon has a .913 save percentage and a 2.32 GAA. Those are number one goaltender numbers. If you’re expecting more, you will never be satisfied. Heck, even Mason’s numbers are decent. Goaltending is a convenient scapegoat, but it isn’t the problem on this team.
Our defense is so bad and slow that we’re about middle of the pack in terms of goals allowed.
Our offense hasn’t been good. That one I concede. But it’s looked much better since Juice has been back. Special teams have been bad too.
As far as your theory goes, that’s crap. Last year we were coming off a playoff season and everyone thought Mason was going to be great and Brassard was going to build off his rookie season and Jake was going to break out. Nobody was napping on us, that’s a revisionist history.
