The Blue Jackets are off to a slow start, but who cares? The year is young. This team is young and full of potential, and just waiting to blow up the Western Conference standings. Tonight we host the Colorado Avalanche, but sadly the game is not being televised. What a perfect excuse to head to Nationwide, see a game live and help turn this thing around!
If there is one thing we as fans need to do, it is to make that arena feel like OUR house. We all remember what happened last year when the Penguins came to town. Say what you will about how well Pittsburgh fans travel but they packed our house better than we could and it felt like an away game.
A lot of people will say Columbus can’t be a hockey city and that the Blue Jackets will never get the same amount of attention as OSU, but why can’t we convert those fans? Especially now with the way the Buckeyes have been playing as of late. If you haven’t been to game yet, or have a friend who has never seen the Blue Jackets live, lets get you there. The atmosphere will bring you back for more (I mean we did have the number one rated goal celebration according to yahoo.com last year). And we're going to score goals. Eventually. I promise.
We need to make Nationwide Arena a barn that opponents hate to play in, where the crowd is so loud and intense it is hard for them to focus. It's times like right now when a team needs its fans to help pull them through. Let's stop all the finger pointing and unite behind this young team! So get off the couch, grab a buddy and get down to Nationwide tonight. Your team needs you to Carry the Flag!
