Okay, first off, where the frak was my "Thanks, Jim Day"? Where was my "Thanks, Jim Day"!?...Now that I got that off my chest, since I waited for the expected Rusty Klesla interview during the post-game (it had to be either him or Steve Mason considering the stars...

Okay, well, when I said "layout", I really meant finally take care of the "Ipsum lorum" that had been in my sidebars for ages now, since I never had the inspiration or motivation to put everything back in that was lost during the original revamp near the turn of...

It's really been over a year and a half since I did one of these, huh?But this is a very special day. And to be honest, I couldn't think of any better way, as a sport fan, hockey fan, or Blue Jackets fan, to express myself.Like I said in the cast, I originally just planned...

So, unfortunately, a little speed bump along the path towards regular posting occurred last week.It's called wisdom teeth extraction.Yep. That's all I got, folks. In the meantime, thanks to the couple o' people who posted references to blogs. I'll be working on the...
What's a blog without a blogroll, right?
March 16, 2009 by
Army of the Ohio

One of the harder things to deal with when getting back in to blogging after such a long period of time is re-creating a blogroll. And honestly, with the way that bloggers shift about even more than some hockey players do from site to site, or affiliate themselves with megablogs (which...

It was just a few years ago that, amongst the hockey world, fans and writers alike bemoaned the fact that the Detroit Red Wings, winner of three of the last four President's Trophies, feasted upon a weak group of Central Division teams. The Blackhawks were in nothing short of disarray...

Your random "O RLY?" stat of the day:Amongst all teams in the West, the Blue Jackets are one of just two teams that have ensured a full sweep of an Eastern Conference division as of last night's win over the Boston Bruins.VS Atlantic: 2-3-1VS Southeast: 4-0-0VS Northeast...

Yeah, it's too bad that tonight's game wasn't a fair one, right? I mean maybe if and Pavel Datsyuk and Niclas Lidstrom hadn't been forced to sit out tonight's game due to Gary Bettman, they woul--... oh, wait, what's that? That was from two games ago against...

Not that I haven't wanted to post since I posted the five ways to get back in to posting. I just sort of came to the conclusion that for the moment, it's best to take a back seat, and wait until the pre-season gets under way, starting with the first home pre-season game against...

#1: Declare e-mail bankruptcyWhen you first return to your blog, you might remember that somewhere, deep in the recesses of your e-mail archives, there is something around 50-100 e-mails concerning your blog that you simply left unanswered over the duration of your hiatus. Maybe these...

Oh, gee, thanks a lot, Minnesota. I thought expansion brothers were supposed to look out for one another! But, no, you went and let Colorado beat you, and bump us down to 5th in the West as a result. Thanks so much. Seriously.... okay, all kidding aside, let's get to Saturday&...

Far be it for me to get in the middle of what apparently is some hemming and hawing of mere different opinions over this particular entry that was written by Aaron Portzline over at Puck Rakers in the past day, but after seeing both Truth's response, and then Bethany's response...

I figure with a whole 2 days off before I work on Saturday, thanks to the wonderful idea of cramming all my classes this semester in to just Tuesdays and Thursdays, that I might as well make the best use of my time and make another post while I have my creative juices flowing. That...

Even though I'm amidst a bit of a slog in terms of classes resuming for me, I feel it's only right to come out from my little cave and say something as it pertains to the trade of Jody Shelley to the San Jose Sharks, which only happened no more than two days ago.Besides, I...

In lieu of Sunday's epiphany, I had another one just this morning, after sleeping off the hangover which was a 4-1 loss to a sub-par Vancouver Canucks team:If you do not shut the other team out, you will lose.Now, whether or not this rule applies to other teams in the NHL doesn...

Great. Now I can't fall asleep after tonight's shootout loss. Whatever feelings of fatigue I had went right out the window as I fought back every fiber of my being to not yell, scream, and curse as loudly as I could, as I didn't want to shock the neighbors both upstairs...

It took 13 games, but the Blue Jackets -- after managing to beat the Blues 6-4 less than 24 hours prior to tonight -- eked out a tough, tough game against the Nashville Predators, who have had their number since longer than I'd like to remember. A dramatic 2-1 shootout victory...

Well, then. If that wasn't a kick to the you-know-whats ...... five games in, and the top concern I have is the Jackets' lack of a killer instinct in the two close games they've played in so far. While the 4-0 drubbing of the Ducks, and the 3-0 win over the Coyotes were...

I had an epiphany sometime Saturday, after getting home late in the evening.If you shut out the other team, you win.Obviously, the poor hockey fans who sat through last night's Rangers/Bruins tilt will disagree, since both of their goalies technically did get shutouts. But, still...
