The
Blue Jackets haven't done so well in their second season in the NHL. Some
upsides from this pretty bad season: Rostislav Klesla, a top young player,
showed great potential. The Jackets traded to get Jamie Allison and
Jaroslav Spacek, but the team wasn't really clicking at the end of the year, as
they suffered a horrible 10-2 loss at the hands of the Sharks. However,
the Nationwide Arena continues to fill up for every game, and fans in Columbus
are excited to have an NHL team. The players are all very nice about
signing, especially some of the rookies and marginal fourth liners that they
constantly recall from the minors. I predict that they'll make the
playoffs by their fifth season.
