A chant, a goalie and a big win made the 1,000th game in Blue Jackets history one to remember

The Columbus Blue Jackets, for all of their foibles, have delivered some fantastic moments over their almost 20 years of existence. It’s easy to remember the big ones—the Tampa Bay sweep, the 16-game winning streak, the first playoff win—but there’s one night in January a handful of years ago that deserves its own moment in the spotlight.

Even though this was a regular season game three weeks into the new year, it wasn’t a normal night. This was the 1,000th game in Blue Jackets history—a feat interesting enough on its own, before you add the divisional intrigue.
