They get older, see the picture with a wider lens and begin to realize something that drives every single veteran currently playing for one of the league’s 31 teams. Careers, they begin to see, do have a shelf life in the NHL. Games and seasons can pass with a blur, and there are only so many opportunities in a player’s life to compete for the Stanley Cup. “I remember when I was young and it was definitely a different viewpoint than what I have now, knowing what I know now,” said Blue Jackets forward Riley Nash, whose past three seasons in Columbus and Boston were his only postseason appearances in a nine-year career that started with the Carolina Hurricanes. “You don’t get many cracks at it. The first four years of my career, we missed the playoffs every year and we weren’t even close. You never really know how many opportunities you’re going to get.” Welcome to the stretch run of the Blue Jackets’ season, which was teetering precariously on the edge of a proverbial cliff going into a game against the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday night at Nationwide Arena. The Jackets clung to the second wild card in the Eastern Conference, a single point ahead of the Hurricanes (75 points) and two ahead of the New York Rangers (74), but they’d lost 10 of 11 games (1-5- 5) and had played two more games than both teams nipping at their heels. Coming off their first consecutive regulation losses since early December, both to the Minnesota Wild last week, the veterans inside the Blue Jackets locker room knew better than anybody what exactly was at stake. “At this point in the season, it’s the older guys who need to show the way and show how we need to play,” said defenseman David Savard, who has helped the Blue Jackets qualify for the playoffs four times in his nine-year career with the team. “We’ve got to treat every game right now as a playoff game if we want to get in. “It’s the older guys who’ve been in that situation before, who need to lead the way.” Things could spiral downward in a hurry if they can’t, which would be a bitter way to end an otherwise impressive season. Despite leading the NHL in man-games lost, a metric that tracks the league’s most injured teams, the Jackets somehow managed to climb back into the playoff race. Even as their injury list rose to double figures, they went 19-2-5 between Dec. 9 and Feb. 7 to claw back from an 11-point deficit into a playoff spot. But losing defenseman Seth Jones and forward Cam Atkinson on Feb. 8 against Colorado sent them reeling, and then their leading goal-scorer, Oliver Bjorkstrand, suffered a fractured ankle Feb. 20 against Philadelphia. 2 Belief in the Blue Jackets is low to nonexistent outside the team’s parameters, as it’s been most of the season, but remains high among those healthy enough to play. The Jackets are saying all the right things, but their actions need to speak even louder in their final 15 games. “We just need to have that urgency,” Nash said. “We need to know what’s at stake. We’re right in the thick of things right now. There’s no time to have a pity party or wallow in what’s going on. “It’s the playoffs, basically, this time of year. It’s just having the intensity each and every play from the drop of the puck and realizing what’s at stake.” Gerbe out with groin injury Blue Jackets forward Nathan Gerbe will miss one to two weeks because of a groin injury, it was announced Sunday. 3 The Columbus Dispatch: Jody Shelley believes the Blue Jackets will stay in playoff chase By Michael Arace – March 1, 2020 Jody Shelley, the television analyst covering the Blue Jackets, has a certain quality that is increasingly rare in his profession. He is a former player with a trove of knowledge, including the knowledge that he doesn’t know everything. Also, his voice smiles, which is a wonderful quality to have over an 82-game slog. Shelley picked up the phone when Cannon Fodder called Friday morning, and per usual, he had some pearls to offer to our hockey podcast. The Jackets are entering the boggiest patch of this season’s slog, and their work boots are looking heavy. Yet Shelley remains sanguine when it comes to the Jackets’ playoff chances. “This is a team you can get behind because they won’t quit,” Shelley said. “I think it’s going to come down to the final (two games), home with Tampa and on the road at Carolina. I think that’s what kind of end it’s going to be to this season. That weekend (April 3-4) could be the weekend.” Note: This analysis was delivered Friday morning — before the puck dropped on an ugly 5-0 loss to the Minnesota Wild at Nationwide Arena. If you polled the standing-room patrons among the crowd 18,955 — the fourth-largest gate of the season — their level of confidence might not have been as high as Shelley’s. These Jackets have handled more injury problems than Elk & Elk. That they are still in the playoff hunt with 16 games to go is a remarkable testament to their character. The question now is what they have left. The Jackets have lost 10 of their last 11 games (1-5-5). Their one irreplaceable player, defenseman Seth Jones, suffered an ankle injury Feb. 10 and had surgery. In 10 games without him, the Jackets have allowed 39 goals. That’s 3.9 per. Contrast: In their first 57 games, they allowed 2.43 per. “I think every team thinks they have a No. 1 defender until they get one and they lose him,” Shelley said. “I feel like Seth Jones, he conducts the play when he’s on the ice and there’s no one else in this organization that can do that. He controls the game.” He has a little Nicklas Lidstrom in him? “There’s definitely a little Lidstrom in him, and you can say that confidently,” Shelley said. “(Losing Jones) is the biggest loss they’ve ever had — by far.” Lidstrom is among the 10 best defensemen of all time. Top three, probably. Jones has that kind of talent. Next contract, he should be making that kind of money. (San Jose’s Erik Karlsson, who carries an annual salary cap hit of $11.5 million, is the highest-paid in the league. Right now, I’d take Jones.) Now, getting back to Shelley’s sanguine take on the Jackets’ playoff push, and it coming down to the last two games of the regular season … it’s looking like a best-case scenario. 4 Take out Jones and a raft of other injured veterans and patch up the roster with rookies and American Hockey League players, and the margin for error and matchup problems can proliferate. This is especially true on the road, where opposing coaches have the second change and can better target the Jackets’ younger forwards and lesser defensive pairs. “You can get exploited if you’re not careful,” Shelley said. “That’s why that hole is even bigger with Jones out.” The Jackets, beginning with a game Sunday night against the Vancouver Canucks at Nationwide Arena, have 16 games remaining, including 10 on the road. They head for western Canada this week. In the final stretch, they’ll play six of their last eight games on the road — all but one against playoff teams or teams in the playoff race. On Saturday, April 4, the last day of the regular season, they will sit idle as the Philadelphia Flyers, New York Islanders, Carolina Hurricanes and New York Rangers, among others, decide the fate of the wild cards in the East. It ain’t over yet but, golly, it doesn’t look promising. More optimistic fans might think of it this way: Philly has five sets of back-to-backs left, the Islanders have a wicked trip at mid-month, Carolina has no goaltending, and as for the Rangers, they just lost Chris Kreider.

  • Buffalo Sabres Digital Press
    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips April 10, 2015 Sabres-Blue Jackets preview Associated Press April 9, 2015 The Columbus Blue Jackets are finally playing well at home, though it's much too late. They'll look to match a team record with their sixth straight home victory Friday night in their Nationwide Arena season finale against the league-worst Buffalo Sabres. Columbus (40-35-5) moved to 10-0-1 in its last 11 games with Wednesday's 5-0 victory over Toronto. Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 35 shots and Scott Hartnell had a goal and an assist. The Blue Jackets improved the league's fourth-worst home mark to 18-20-2, a mark that represents one of their biggest problems. They won six in a row at home from Dec. 26, 2007-Jan. 15, 2008. ''For me, it definitely comes down to our home record,'' said coach Todd Richards, who has matched Ken Hitchcock as the franchise's winningest coach with 125. ''What we need to do is establish our game here at home and make this a tough building to play in." Maybe the biggest issue is that Columbus has exceeded 500 man-games lost to injury. That figure is a team record and the NHL's highest total this season. "One thing about Columbus right now, they're on a roll," Buffalo coach Ted Nolan said. "I think they've won 10 out of the last 11 games. Barring injuries, they would probably be in the playoffs right now." The latest health issue is the wrist and hand of Cam Atkinson, who was reportedly slashed accidentally by a teammate's skate.

    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips January 30, 2018 Sheary scores in 3rd to lift Sabres over Blue Jackets 5-4 By Mitch Stacy Associated Press January 29, 2019 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A long midseason break apparently was just what Conor Sheary needed. Coming back from a bye week followed by the All-Star weekend, the Buffalo Sabres forward was ready, ending an 11-game goal drought with the winner Tuesday night. Sheary got an easy tap-in 2:12 into the third period to lift Buffalo over the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-4. Artemi Panarin was roundly booed by his home fans when he was introduced in the starting lineup. This was Columbus’ first game since Panarin’s agent said the star forward would not discuss a new contract until after the season. Panarin will be an unrestricted free agent. He wasn’t made available for interviews after the game. Sheary and linemate Evan Rodrigues each had a goal and an assist for the Sabres, who had lost four of five before getting the time off. Sheary has struggled all season and hadn’t scored since before Christmas. “Coming off the break, I had fresh legs and was well-rested,” Sheary said. “I have to give credit to my linemates when credit is due. I think our line in general was buzzing all night and we had good chemistry, and I think all that together just added up to a good night.” Carter Hutton had 33 saves to get his first win since Jan. 8. Buffalo had a solid game except for a stretch at the end of the second period when Columbus scored two quick goals to tie it at 4.
