Hey, maybe the Columbus Blue Jackets are still the toddlers of the NHL, but they're starting to come on strong. Loyal fans, a decent owner and the best arena I've ever been in for any sport at the professional or collegiate level.
Besides, a NFL or NBA team would take a back seat to Ohio State around here
