Thanks for the ping!

You know, this is one of those things I just assumed all teams had a system in place for. It never occurred to me that they didn’t.

Thanks for this article from the Columbus Dispatch. Doesn’t Columbus have a team that they could write about as well? I am not sure, however, that professional hockey is played in Columbus.

When Rick Nash scores 50 goals this season, you'll have your answer.

Yup. 1989. That was the worst I had seen before Zednik.

Malarchuk is now the Blue Jackets goalie coach.

Is “Captain Kangaroo” as we affectionately called him when he was coaching the Stars, still their coach?

Rick Nash is a great player, and it would not disappoint me if he did, but I want to see the Jackets in the playoffs. The jury is still out on the current management. Previous management was inept and talk was cheap.

He sure is. A well loved figure here in Columbus. Best thing to ever happen to the franchise (except for Rick Nash.)

BTW, Richard Matvichuk showed up for a try-out this week. We'll see if Hitch still feels he can play at 35.

The very definition of Doug "Do As I Say" MacLean. He was quite a con artist.

I was sad when the Stars fired him, I knew a lot of the players weren’t sad to see him go, but he was a great ambassador for the team, and he really helped to garner interest in the Stars here in Dallas.

Yeah, I hear you. Under him, the team was Mc-Lean.

You must be a Jackets fan, correct?

Yup. I split a pair of season tickets with a friend. My only expensive vice, and my wife goes with me to five or six games a year; I take my son to the rest. Not a bad deal.

I get to a couple of games a year and it is enjoyable. I am hoping the team plays up to expectations this year. I grew up outside Detroit, so the Red Wings are my favorite team, but the Blue Jackets are second. My wife is Canadian, so to keep peace in the family, I also have to root for the Maple Leafs.

I fear that if the Jackets don't make the playoffs this year and the next, Nash may well go the free agent route. And he's never made a secret of the fact that he has idolized the Leafs since childhood.

I agree with you. I would hate to see him leave. He IS a treat to watch!

One of these days I want to make it over to Raleigh for a Hurricanes game. The level of fan support they get around here surprises a lot of people, especially considering they’re going up against college basketball for a lot of the season. I think their spectacular Stanley Cup run a few years ago has given them a lot of goodwill here in the Triangle, and they’re still coasting on it to an extent.

Actually Raleigh/Durham and Columbus are somewhat similar...mostly college sports towns (you football, us basketball), medium-sized markets, with the hockey team being the only major professional league in town. (Well, OK, unless you count the Columbus Crew, if they’re still around.)
