Columbus Blue Jackets playoff opener

[ebman3]

if columbus ever made the playoffs i would cheer for them they are the underdog.

[Sithlord703]

Should the Jackets fail for nail? Or win at all costs? The Indianapolis Colts just went to suck for Luck.

[BrianBunka]

im coming to a couple games in february! :)

[jackets45100]

Jackets need another playoff birth. I was there for the draft and it was crazy and can only picture how INSANE Nationwide can be in the playoffs.

However, GO JETS GO!!

[TheGammajamma]

wow this gave me goosebumps.. I am not asking for the Stanley Cup but to be there and watch great hockey at the highest level with that kind of crowd.. wow must have been a great night even if they lose

[Ethankillyou]

howson doesnt have the balls to make this happen again....

[CoolSportz32]

suck.

[PLERKTA]

how did the blue jackets get their name? what does it mean?

[CBJfan28]

@PLERKTA it's a reference to the Union army of the Civil War...Union soldiers wearing "blue jackets"...

[Prim3StaR]

@PLERKTA The name "BLue Jackets" dates back to Ohio's history in the Civil War. Ohio contributed more trrops and supplies to the war than any other Union state. Also, all the Union's uniforms were manufactured in Columbus, Ohio. When the Blue Jackets score a goal, to commerate the Civil War-rooted history, a Civil-War-era cannon is fired just above Section 117 by a crew of uniformed men dressed as Union soldiers.

[CUB3Jsg22]

@Prim3StaR if it was section 117 it be next to me its in 112 the corner at the front of the arena not 117

[sjoseph17]

I'd love to see the Blue Jackets make the playoffs again. They've got (arguably) the best arena in the NHL, and they're in a good hockey market. Good fans, too.

[LocoGroove]

@sjoseph17 good HOCKEY market? Nah. Great arena, tho.

[razorslice17]

They have a good hockey market. Their attendance was good for the first 5 years and as far as demographics go, Columbus is in the same area as Detroit, Pittsburgh, etc. If the Jackets' management could just conjure up a winning product to put on the ice they would be great.

[LocoGroove]

@razorslice17 Well people might be more interested in hockey now in Ohio because their golden boy LeBron has left the town but I don't think CBJ has sold out too many games...it just seemes unlikely

[TheGammajamma]

@LocoGroove it actually is we have had a losing team and sold out a TON in the past.. if we put together an 6th-10th place team consistently we will sell out.. were not like Edmonton where we can sit in last place. but were far from a Washingon where if we arent the best nobody will be in those seats.

[chandler139]

Wow! Chills... Go Jackets!!!!

[GoalieRealmUSA]

some of the best moments of my life was being able to got to games 3 and 4. fist pumpin the whole way.

[blueliner79]

A great video. Especially because the first playoff birth.

[KnightsHuSayNee]

needs to be more intimidating... check out edmonton, san jose, or vancouver

[carrytheflag61]

what do u mean? Th jackets have their own freakin song!

[CHICAGOSTEEL1]

u suck jackets rock

[amh9565]

0:30 , LETS GO JACKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[THELUKEMCLOVIN]

I WAS AT THAT GAME!! it sure sucked seeing them get killed, but the place was insane! Ive never heard it so loud!

[OwnagePlayer740]

I don't necessarily like hockey, but I still come to a few games because the Nationwide is f*cking amazing. Great atmosphere plus I <3 the arena district.

[columbusdinner]

GO JACKETS!!!!!

[bluejacketsman86]

also This year i have 2 flags i pass around. one is a blue jackets flag, and another says BEAT DETROIT. The cheerleaders never visit the nosebleed, and being as outgoing as i am, i lead the cheapseats!!!

[bluejacketsman86]

CARRY THE FLAG!!!!! I went to ten games last year, and i call Nationwide my home. I love the people. I sit in the last row of the upper game for most games, but i love my jackets!!!

[krackerboy10]

i was front row on the left corner on your side at game 1

[krackerboy10]

i didnt mean game 1 i meant the first playoff game at home.

[WildWalrusFilms1]

I was at game 4. it was amazing. what a way to end the season.

[Blueshockey2005]

3 words to describe Columbus ...

Oshie OWNS Nash!

[CBJfan28]

hmm..technically, that doesn't DESCRIBE Columbus, now does it? YOUR comment implies ownership based on a CHEAP SHOT from a piece of shit forward for your team.

[ampiet3]

haha cheap? You can call plays cheap after your team has been in the league for a little while longer, exspantionites

[CBJfan28]

"expansionites"? I think you made that word up, but I LIKE it!

[ampiet3]

haha - i did make it up, it just came to mind. However, this is a great intro, would have been neat to have been there.

[rockinhockeychick23]

@Blueshockey2005 Correction Stralman OWNS Oshie 

[CoolSportz32]

@rockinhockeychick23 No No. You have it WRONG. its Stralman gets OSHIED. Bitch

[reynoldsburgboy]

@Blueshockey2005 wtf are u talking bout nash owns oshie

[le4a7]

@Blueshockey2005 3 words to describe St-Louis

Nash OWNS Oshie!

[BlueJacketsRock61]

I agree with zachhockey, Columbus had the tools to succeed in the playoffs, but they were up against the defending Stanley Cup Champions in the first round. I believe that the Jackets are on the rise and can be expected in the playoffs for years to come.

[zachhockey]

The Jackets would have done something if they weren't against (my hometown team) the Wings. If they were against any other team in the Western Conference then they probably would have had a chance.

[mpkilla55]

yeah its kind of tough going up against a team like detroit in your first playoff appearance.

[watchyoufail]

Go Jackets!!

[DokkenCanes11]

I would love to been there.

Sucks they didnt do too good. But yea. I agree with XCspyder21.

LETS GO BLUE JACKETS!!!

[codymo32791]

This actually brought tears to my eyes

[ethanrules3]

me 2

[babersizzles]

This video is incredible. Thank you for posting this! I wish I could have been there!

[XCspyder21]

the jackets arent doing good this series b/c they have no playoff experience and detroit has more than any other team....the jackets are gonna be a force for years to come though. once they get brassard and filatov in the line-up they're gonna be a contender

[TheRubberHandMan]

Let's call up the entire Syracuse Crunch team for game 4. we have to be the worst playoff team in history.

[gomerfrowpyle]

You know nothing about hockey

[TheRubberHandMan]

you're a blind fan. 12-2 in 3 games...pathetic.

[CBJfan28]

C'mon guys, play nice. If you wanna slam the Jackets, or each other, take it over to the HF Boards.

[fleury29pens]

nice vid

[CBJfan28]

Thanks! The crowd was incredible during the opening, but that 1st goal took some wind outta everyone's sails...

[gobluejackets61]

I was there too! I had far worse seats than yours but i recorded the game from my seats too! Even though we lost the fans were electric for most of the 1st and 2nd. Great vid GO JACKETS LETS WIN GAME 4 FOR THE FANS!

[simpsonsfan2007]

I was there as well...too bad we didn't win. Oh well, at least I can say I went to the first playoff home game.

[EtchySketch9]

Amazing atmosphere, welcome to Playoff hockey Columbus!!! Couldn't be happier for ya!

I'm a Flames fan here but I am totally rooting for you guys! Hope you win game 4!

You deserve it! :)
