The Columbus Blue Jackets are having one of their best season starts in the history of the franchise, and many characters have a hand in that happening - but captain Boone Jenner has certainly been leading the charge.
There were some mumblings and grumblings after his announcement (definitely not from me, I’ve always been a Boone fan, as documented in many places across our site) but perhaps some of the skepticism was warranted - his last few seasons were a little lackluster and injury-riddled.
However, the newly appointed C on his chest seems to have elicited a new level of play from him.
