Say hello to hockey, the other white meat!Seriously, I love hockey, and I love to follow the Blue Jackets. But, until Christmas, they looked content to just roll over and die and have one of the worst seasons ever. But then, my boy Rick Nash (above) came back, and essentially the whole, original roster finally got healthy. Since Christmas, they've played 19 games and have gone 13-5-1 (equalling 27 points in 19 games... not bad for at that time the second worst team in hockey). They've gone from 19 points to 46 points in a little over a month.
Columbus is finally getting behind their team again, and the way the Jackets are playing, they have a legitimate shot at making a run at the #8 spot in the playoffs (and thus, the right to get smoked by Detroit in the first round).
But, I think it was Shakespeare who said, "It's better to get smoked in the first round of the playoffs than never to have been in the playoffs at all." Or something like that.
At any rate, this team is on fire. 8-2 in their last 10, including a 5-game winning streak (4 of which were against playoff teams, the last 2 on the road).
Stay tuned.

thanks to staying out late for your show i've managed to see both shootout wins.
i'm on the bandwagon, i want them to continue to do well, but no matter how this year ends, they should be a very good team next year... as long as they stay healthy.
and NHL 2k6 is fantastic... once you learn it. i was going to get 2k5 to dominate you online, but i'll stick to MVP for that.
speaking of which... ever want to pick up the NCAA version of MVP?
looks like the curse of your blog struck again. hopefully they'll turn it around tomorrow.
