For today, head on over to Hockey News, where my latest piece deals with Ken Hitchcock's recent interview with one of the Columbus Blue Jackets bloggers, in which he fires a few verbal barbs towards Nashville, including this doozy:
"when talking with various folks in the know that they told him when we played Nashville that even though we outworked them they weren't worried b/c they knew only 1 or 2 guys could score."
That's pretty good stuff considering Columbus scored the fewest goals in the NHL last year, with 193!
UPDATE: Kudos to the commenter below who pointed out that I probably took this the wrong way, and that Hitch was commenting on the Blue Jackets own lack of scoring depth. Anyways, there was certainly this in there as well:
When asked if we will finally be able to beat Nashville his reply - "yes we will kick their ass".
Even I couldn't misinterpret that one...
