As expected, 23-year-old Rick Nash has been chosen as team captain for your Columbus Blue Jackets.
Rick is the fifth captain for the franchise, which has never seen a captain last more than three seasons.
It's another in a string of 'good long-term decisions that may not pay off right away,' (something ...

So Howson frees up a couple of million this year, some fans go nuts, and some fans are cautiously optimistic.
I'm somewhere in the middle. I'm sure the Jackets could not have done much better with regards to Fedorov. With the possibility of him bolting this summer, at least they got ...

Today was the trade deadline, and the Blue Jackets have announced that Adam Foote is moving to Colorado.
Captain Adam Foote.
Foote was traded to the Avs for a 2009 first-round and conditional fourth-round pick.
So, who will be the new team captain in 2008/9? Nash is still quite young, but will no ...

The most disappointing thing about this team since the All-Star break isn't the four losses, or the fact that they're letting teams come from behind to win.
It isn't that three of those losses were at home.
It's not even that Pazzy - once again - won't be able to pull off ...

End of an era.
I can't say it was a surprise, especially with how well some of the new guys (like Jared Boll) have worked out, but it's still sad to see Shelly go. Old-school, tough-but-fair enforcers are hard to come by in the "new NHL," and Jody was the classiest. ...

Rick, you made my six-year-old daughter jump up and run around the room screaming & cheering for five minutes.
Yes, it was your high stick that gave the Coyotes the tying power play goal with a minute left. But it was your octuple-inside-outside-deke faking-two-lighter-guys-out-of-their-skates-and-humiliating-the-goalie awesomeness with 25 seconds left that won ...

OSU's Little Animal, the 2006 Nagurski and 2007 Butkus Award winner, has decided to return.
"I'm having too much fun at Ohio State... Money can't give you this experience, especially your senior season with the way this season could go."
Word is that A.J. Hawk gave the young man some good advice. ...

The Colts are finally being exposed as an overrated team that doesn't deserve to compete for the title. I mean, losing to a team with more losses than you? How pathetic.
Sure, they've won a Super Bowl title and competed in multiple AFC championship games over the past few years, but ...

UPDATE: See Below.
It looks like the French Alfalfa is going to start in goal for the Western Conference All-Star team. Way to go, Pazzy.
LeClaire was a "distant second" in voting, but Luongo has a very pregnant wife to take care of. Therefore, the Columbus netminder will fill the slot. Even ...

For those of you preparing seppuku, here is some 'perspective' -- some major highlights of Ohio State's dynasty the past three seasons. We've highlighted a few of these before, but a lot of you still might not be aware of just how good this primarily junior-led team has been:
Since 2005, ...

"Ess ee see SPEEeeeedddd..."
...GRRRR...
"The BIIIgg Ten sucks!! It really really SUCKS."
USE IT ON THE FIELD, fellas.

So, you're the head coach of a team that just played its last game. You're asked to say a few words to (or about) your seniors - your captains - that have sacrificed so much for your program. Young men that have worked hard for you. Men that could have ...
