That last game was a snooze fest.

Fingers crossed for the same result as last time.
Game Preview #82 - At Least The Arena Will Be Full...
...just half of the people will be wearing red and will be obnoxious.
Game Preview #80 - TankFest
Toronto is tanking. Columbus is "tanking but not trying to tank, really". Who's got the best shot? Who wants it more?
Game Preview #79 - Ranger Bookends
It's Fan Appreciate Night, and the team that stole the soul of Columbus on opening night is back.
Game Preview #76 - Out Of The Frying Pan...
..into the fire. The Capitals are a whirling ball of sharp pointy things rolling downhill straight at us.

The Jackets take on another team out of the race, and in many ways similar to them in Carolina.
Game Preview #73 - Spoiler Alert
The Jackets host the Flyers in an effort to play spoiler.

There was a lot to be happy about last night. Same two teams again today. But, let's pump the brakes a bit.
Game Preview #71 - Mr. 1,000
John Tortorella becomes the first American-born coach to coach 1,000 NHL games. Hopefully he's not run over by the newly-fired-up TANK.
Game Preview #70 - BJORKSTRAND. THAT IS ALL.
Let the unrealistic expectations commence! (Also, that is not all. I have things to say about things. And stuff.)
Game Faceoff/Preview - Blue Jackets vs. Lightning
Here's what you need to know, plus a couple paragraphs of gibberish.

Does this game make a sound?
Game Faceoff/Preview #66 - Blue Jackets at Flyers
Here's what you need to know, plus some cheap analysis.

Friday sucked pretty hard. Let it go and move forward.

The Jackets are riding a six-game points streak, and have points in nine of 10 (6-1-3). They finish a five-game home stand tonight.
Game Preview #58 - Keep Marching. (Or Not.)

Game Preview #57 - Can We Finally Beat These Guys?
I mean, for real.

The Blue Jackets are--wait for it--NOT IN LAST PLACE IN THE LEAGUE ANYMORE. Not even in the East! What to do?

The Jackets are oh-for-three against the Islanders this season. Can they finally break through?
Game Preview #54 - Put A Body On Gaudreau
Johnny Hockey was a one-man wrecking crew in Columbus last month. Maybe don't let him do that again.
Game Preview #53 - Pound of Flesh
The Canucks fans remember John Tortorella. Not fondly, I'm guessing.
Game Preview #52 - They Don't Even NEED Matthews
It's a "battle" of the two worst teams in the league. Who is worse?
Game Preview #51 - Encore, Encore!
As both teams head into the All Star Break, can the Jackets deliver a repeat performance against the Habs?
