Like many people, I see the news of December 2016, the many significant heroes and visionaries we have lost through this year, and with the exception of the Blue Jackets’ roaring success in the 2016 half of the 2016-2017 season, I just want this year to be over already.
So let’s look ahead, shall we?
The Blue Jackets will have a fairly aggressive schedule in the first 20 games of 2017, stretching across January and into February, but there’s some good news - just over half of the contests will be at home in Nationwide as we sprint to the All-Star Break and the trade deadline on February 28th.
