GO JACKETS!!!!
Carry the flag!!!!
cool, but the team still belongs in a larger metro area like Cleveland or Cincinnati
@ohiopherks Impossible. The Blue Jackets didn't exist until 2000.
not really. It's hard to believe that they have a decent fan base and a decent attendence rate.
@aadams22 Not i fucking doesn't. If anything they need to consolidate the AFC north, let Ohio keeps the Browns, move them to Columbus so more people can easily there to the games.
@AngerIsOurGift Cleveland has the Lake Erie Monsters of the AHL thats all they need. Besides with Columbus struggling they are never gioing to put 2 NHL teams in ohio.
@khav11 Yes, they did.
@khav11 once and they got swept lol!
This is one of those teams where I just wonder why it was made and if there actually are fans of this team
Why don't they just give Wisconsin a team? That seems like a logical place to put a new hockey team
@zzyzx0788 im a big blue jackets fan if they left i would cry =,( looking at this first game's video gives nestalgia of that time period..
just got a new lease!! They're staying in the capital until at least 2039!!
May they actually start winning games in the future
I really do not comprehend as to why there is a team in Columbus. Attendence is low and the team is bad.
lease doesnt matter if the nhl loses money theyd pull them so fast look at atlanta HARTFORD will get these guys
The beginning of a decade of mediocrity and disappointment. 😉

But seriously Ohio is a great hockey market. I wish the Blue Jackets didn't have management as retarded as the Cleveland Browns… management… Ohio problems?
I agree, I think they should relocate to Madison.
Love how they used the design of the New Haven Beast for their jerseys
I was there in the Bud Light Club Seats.
As a Canadian, I always wanted Columbus to do well. They have great fans for a non traditional market. I'd hate to see them move if it ever came to that. If they ever put a good product on the ice, the fans will come back unlike some of the other non traditional markets.
I was there!
Hawks win!
