As Clint Linn mentioned in his post this morning, The Columbus Blue Jackets Need A Fast Start, the NHL regular season starts in ONE day for the Blue Jackets, it is so close now! Going into this season we all have our expectations for the players, some we would be happy with similar production as last year, and others we will be looking for more of a contribution.
