Blue Jackets new season is here and the activity is starting to increase. Blue Jackets encourage those who do that to jump in and participate. Blue Jackets would be great if we had your views and opinions as a part of our discussions. Blue Jackets played their first regular-season game on October 7, 2000, a 5–3 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. Bruce Gardiner scored the franchise's first goal. Blue Jackets finished with a 28–39–9–6 record for 71 points, last in the Central Division, and failed to qualify for the playoffs. Blue Jackets Geoff Sanderson became the first player in team history to score 30 goals. Ron Tugnutt, who was signed in the summer of 2000, supplied solid goaltending with 22 wins, which tied the 74-year-old League record for wins by an expansion-team goalie (New York Rangers' Lorne Chabot also had 22 wins in 1926–27). |
