Columbus Blue Jackets Do We Care?
-
Ohio's NHL hockey team, the Columbus Blue Jackets have won 16 in a row...which is one shy of the all time longest NHL winning streak ever. They have the best record in the NHL.
Do we care?

Being a hockey fan probably, not happy that Gordon Gund screwed Cleveland out of a NHL team. I've been a Red Wings fan since the days of Gordie Howe.

Red Wings are my fav team but Columbus is my second. I try to hit a hand full of Blue Jackets games per year and been watching them longer than this streak.They did the right thing by getting rid of the super stars they had like Nash and built a decent team thru the draft. They have a well balanced team with no really super stars.

Hockey? I thought that's what you did at pawn shops.

Not really a hockey fan but good for them

People need to care. Hockey is a great game.
Think about it, to paly anoy of the other big 4 sports, you just have to go out and shoot or throw to get better. To play hockey you first need to learn to skate to a high level. It's hard to learn how to slap or stop the puck if you can't move on skates.
I played a a youth....youth hockey and HS hockey. My first coach made me a defenseman because I could skate backwards and could change directions quickly. I wanted to be a Goalie, but he said I was too valuable to not play just in front of the goalie, so it stuck.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -
Oh.....go Preds. I made the 130 mile drive up to "Smashville" 2-3 times a year to catch a match.
-
All three Cleveland teams are "my" team in their sports but for hockey I'm all Dallas.
-
I suppose if there is any hockey team that I would care about it would be the Columbus team. I mean, I root for Ohio State teams and they are in Columbus. And I do like their logo
So, here is what I think I would do: root for Columbus...or any Canadian team....except perhaps Montreal.

The Blue Jackets beat the Wild last saturday who had a 12 game win streak going as well....
dont put too much stock in streaks this early, being hot counts down the stretch in March / April
surprised the following isnt greater in Ohio? Everything Pitssburgh sux right? play off matchups with them
would be fun.

'Peen, I played goalie for several years, was pretty good at it. The difference now as opposed to 30- 40 years ago is the level of skating ability- it's unreal as to how much it's improved. HS kids are better at it now than most college players of that era.
BTW, the goalie equipment now is in another world compared to the junk I was using back then.

I just don't care about ice soccer. But if I did Columbus would certainly be my team. I root for them to do well even if I don't follow them.

I saw most of the 50th anniversary of the Pittsburgh Penguins hockey and being that I've been a fan since Lemieux was drafted in 1984 I consider myself a fan, mainly in the late 1980s and 1990s and somewhat after that in the 2000s and on.
Really good show and probably why I'm a Pens fan and not really a Blue Jackets fan (besides the dumb tag "BJs?"). Saw it on ROOT Pittsburgh.

I would probably care if they were the Cleveland Barons again. As it is I root for the Canadian teams until they are eliminated at which point I root for the American teams from cities in which water freezes in the winter.

Probably why I didn't buy into the BJs too.

play off hopes (as of today) for both the Blue Jackets and the Wild are on life support - each being behind one game to three against the penguins and Blues respectively.
so the regular season win streaks do nothing for when it counts like now, & for the Wild especially because Chicago was eliminated by Nashville.

I was flipping between CAVS AND PENGUINS and caught the end of both together with the Indians 1 pm game my teams were W W W, how about that!
Saw most all of the CAVS historic comeback, LBJ is the best player in basketball now with a decent supporting cast. Penguins can score.
....and the BJ'S are best done by women.
