DBJ’s Really Big Picture 2013-14 Season Preview for the Columbus Blue Jackets
It’s that time of year, what with training camps opening and hockey talk ramping up even faster. Nothing gets the talk going like a good season preview if you ask me, so let’s do a little previewing of our own. Season preview pieces are supposed to whet the appetite for the season-long campaign to come, in this case hopefully culminating in a Stanley Cup playoffs run for the ages. Let’s dive in and see if we can’t get the juices flowing, eh?
It’s been an interesting past 12 months for the Columbus Blue Jackets. In fact, so much has happened that it’s hard to know where to start when sketching out a preview. Do we compare the team entering training camp with the team that did the same last January when the lockout ended and camp finally opened? Do we compare today’s roster with the roster that finished the 2013 season? And what about the front office…do we gloss over that? Lastly, what about this Eastern Conference move? Where does that fit in?
