The Big Bobrovsky

The Jackets have been on a roll
and each team they play pays the toll.
The year started bleak
now they're on a streak
with the Big Bobrovsky in goal.

After starting the season as the worst team in the NHL, the Blue Jackets have been streaking recently, having won 5 in a row.

We're just past the midway point in the season, so there's still a way to go. There is reason for hope, however. A team with no big stars has played workman's hockey, finding a way to win.

Hockey's Back!

The sun is a little more bright
as hope pushes against the night.
Hockey is back and
it's time for the Jackets.
Now let's start the season off right.

At last, our long national nightmare is over.

Let's Go Jackets!

Now that hockey is back, it's
time that we all raise a racket.
Support your home team.
Let's stand up and scream
and everyone shout: LET'S GO JACKETS!

The Yankees have been eliminated, the Buckeyes are pedestrian, and the Vikings are god-awful.

But now it's hockey season!

It's a sports fan's prerogative to greet the start of every season with hope. This year, however, that hope is warranted. GM Scott Howson made some great moves this past summer, and I think that our hope will be well placed.

Why I like hockey.
