The Jackets landed the biggest coaching fish out there by hiring Scott Arniel right from the get-go. Seriously, the Cup hadn't even been won and he was their coach. Then Dan Hinote was added to the coaching staff.
They are a tough team to beat (unless you're the Red Wings) off the scoreboard, we mean.
With Derek Dorsett, Jared Boll and Mike Commodore leading the team in fighting majors, the Jackets would not be pushed around.
Now, Rick Nash is an amazing winger and we want him to be with Sidney Crosby in Pittsburgh but he has to stop hurting other players just so that he doesn't have to come to our parties.
Our parties are amazing, Mr. Nash.
For the Jackets to make the postseason again, three things must happen. One, Steve Mason should lost some weight and get back into his Calder-winning form. Two, Jakub Voracek and Derick Brassard (and the other youngins) better step it up. And three, Scott Arniel will be the savior coach the Jackets have been looking for.
Good luck, boys.

We're being nice this year, all teams get at least above a 5 unless they're hideously ugly (or employs a bunch of unnaturally follicly-challenged men). A lot of the players are attractive, even Jakub Voracek with his post-pubescent acne and wild mane of blonde hair.

Jared Boll is beautiful and that makes me feel sooooo dirty.
No mention of Nikita Filatov?
...Am I the only one ecstatic about his return?
I don't know Ethan Moreau's addition to the roster should at least make the blue jackets a 7!
I don't know why I found this funny but "RJ Umberger...former flyer, pew pew." Maybe it's the Pens fan in me but I was in stitches.
After the Olympics I have become a Rick Nash fan and wish he was on the Pens and a linemate of Sidney Crosby. We would be unbeatable!
@Kylie - He's the sole reason I'd ever even think about cheering for the Jackets. (Ok, I lie. I also rather like Brassard, Garon when he's in net, and Klesla when he isn't made of glass). But yes, there was much rejoicing when he got back to Columbus.
