This is the way it's supposed to work. OK, I understand the Stanley Cup is the only true symbol of success for an NHL hockey team. But the way the Columbus Blue Jackets have trended in the past two seasons is exactly what a fan base hopes for from its franchise. When the fans hopes -- and expectations -- are generally met, some great things can happen. This year, fans witnessed some of those great...

It might have been cold and rainy, but camping out for Game 6 tickets was well worth it for a group of Columbus Blue Jackets fans when they were surprised by a familiar face Sunday night.

THE RUNDOWN Perhaps it was only fitting that the final score was 4-3 tonight at Nationwide Arena. The only thing missing was a better result for the home team, which nearly pulled off an improbable comeback in a do-or-die Game 6 in Columbus. F......

One: The Penguins played Game Six as if they wanted to close out the series, which they ultimately did. Columbus was a step slow throughout the night, with no push back evident. Maybe this was as far as they could go due to experience and maturity. Two: After the first four minutes of the game, Columbus was unable to get the puck deep and regain possession. "Blue Jackets hockey" this most assuredly...

The Columbus Blue Jackets will make a change up front for tonight’s elimination Game 6 against the Penguins, as Jared Boll will return to the lineup for the first time since the series opener, replacing veteran forward R.J. Umberger. Umberger, who’s played the last four games after being a scratch in Game 1, appeared to re-aggravate a shoulder/collarbone ailment in Saturday’s 3-1 loss in Pittsburgh,...

COLUMBUS, Ohio - In last Saturday night's Game Five, goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky was kept busy. Way too busy for the Columbus Blue Jackets' liking. On the flip side, if Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury was doubting himself at all after two late mistakes allowed the Blue Jackets to get back into and eventually escape with Game Four, it didn't show. Fleury gave up one goal in the first...

Pittsburgh, PA -- They knew going into Game Five in Pittsburgh that they would have to win two games in a row, at some point, to win the series. After not responding to the Penguins stepping up their game, they find their backs against the wall coming home to the friendly confines. This club has responded to adversity throughout the season. Now, you don't get much more adverse than facing an elimination...

Columbus -- No one gave them a chance of giving Pittsburgh a fight in the first round of the playoffs. But that, in fact, is just what they did. They've played a hard-nosed, Western Conference-style of hockey that the Penguins were not necessarily prepared for. "I think it's a product of believing," said Columbus left wing Matt Calvert. "You can look at the matchup all night long and it's the Pittsburgh...
