Here I am supposed to be all hot to trot about hockey because some incredible assholes in local government believed that the largest college football town in the United States with some of the most rabid fans and additionally located within 300 miles of almost HALF of the NFL teams could and would support an NHL team. We had failed miserably at supporting ANY pro franchise including previous minor league hockey teams and the only game in town was Clippers baseball or located inside the Horseshoe at Ohio State.

So these mamaluccas name this new and wonderful team after an obscure Indian Chief in Ohio's history, a man I doubt ever played hockey, and then come up with a hideous mascot and emblem based on the name but unrelated in any way to the history they wanted to carry forth.........go figure.

They have achieved their only notoriety as a team that caused a rules modification by killing some poor kid who had actually wanted to attend a Blue Jackets game for her birthday.

So sign me up for a Columbus Blue Jackets fan. I'm hoping to get a job licking the icing off the puck after every Icing call.
