Columbus begins its 14th season on the ice tomorrow night, with unprecedented expectations. The 2015-2016 NHL campaign promises to be an entertaining, nail biting affair. Here's my take on enjoying the show.
When you woke up on this date 15 years ago, you likely opened your Columbus Dispatch to see an overhead shot of Robert Kron winning the first face-off in franchise history from Chicago's Alexei Zhamnov. The Blue Jackets would score the first goal of that contest (courtesy of Bruce Gardiner), and the next, and the next, courtesy of Steve Heinze and David Vyborny. Then the adrenaline wore off and reality set in.
