CBJ fans are a little envious of the success Nashville has been able to achieve on the scoreboard. Of course, Nashville doesn't have Doug MacLean... Not that I necessarily think MacLean's to blame for the CBJ's abysmal W-L record, but he's been pretty much the only constant. But I wonder if a change in that position would be a positive move for the coaches and players. In his defense, he's taken the "business" of CBJ hockey to levels that make other teams envious. The Jackets have an unusually loyal fan base -- any time a last place team can sell its games out more than half the time is quite something. But if things don't get much better this season, I think the next logical step would be to make some changes at the top. Nothing else seems to be working. I know what you mean, Tom.

I'm a Nashville Predators fan who graduated from Ohio State in 2005, and it's tough to figure out why the Predators have had so much success in the past 2+ seasons, while the Blue Jackets have not. Columbus has shown little, if any, improvement since their inaugural season. Nashville, on the other hand, has slowly gotten better and better. Both teams haven't been around very long, they've both been able to make personnel adjustments, but Columbus has had zero success in this department. I guess I will remain baffled until Columbus finds a way to win semi-consistently.
