People like what they are comfortable with. They take the same route home from work. They eat the same food regularly. They like the comfort and consistency of the “same thing”. Columbus Blue Jackets fans are no different.
So I understand the initial attraction to getting a known commodity back on the team like Rick Nash. He is the best player to ever wear union blue, he dominated the league and was the only bright spot for a terrible franchise for years.
But after the initial attraction some logic should kick in and tell you how ill-advised your first thoughts were.
