Now, it counts: teeing up a big week

It’s bad news for your blood pressure and vocal cords, but that’s the beauty of the thing.

Nearly three weeks of practices and eight preseason games are in the books, and the Blue Jackets will begin their 2015-16 season on Friday night against the New York Rangers. On Saturday night, they’ll be the guests on opening night at Madison Square Garden, part of a six games in nine days journey to kick off the campaign.

If we’re going to jump back into hockey, we may as well cannonball into the deep end.

This is one of the special times of the year, when hope is fleeting and everyone is undefeated.
