It's about time they got rid of MacLean - he has made a lot of questionable draft picks and traded off a ton of decent talent - eg Mike Sillinger. Ok, well, not a ton, but some. I mean, they seem to be so impatient with this thing that they don't let the players stay together long enough to mesh. I've been to a lot of their home games, and several of the draft picks - Picard for example, have been very disappointing. Their other moves haven't been very good either - the acquisition of Foote was terrible. He's washed up, he can't skate, he doesn't fit in the new NHL. Fedorov has been pretty much a wash too. If I were Rick Nash, I would want to get out of Columbus as soon as possible. Before they fired Gallant, it seemed like everybody in the front office was a Prince Edward Island crony of MacLean's from back in the day or something. And don't even get me started about Hitchcock.
Silly Ohioans,don't you know wasps(or hornets or whatever you are)die(or hibernate-i'm not up to speed on entomology) in the winter...
Another fine example of authentic frontier gibberish.

I believe they're called the Blue Jackets as a reference to the uniform of the Union Soldiers in the American Civil War. It has nothing to do with insects as far as the team is concerned.
Who's next? Bob Harley should be fired... out of cannon for going back to Lehtonen instead of Hedberg. I figure he's got to be D-U-N. Lemaire? Probably safe - but aren't these guys tired of decent regular seasons of stifling defense punctuated by the occassional first round exit? Ah, I probably just hate Lemaire too much. Bah - orrrrrr - ing.

Yes,you are correct, ohio sent the most soldiers to fight for the union army(but enough of the history lession)but their mascot on their jerseys is a....?
