Go with the blue jackets, we'll help you out. There are more than a few fans on here.

Did you see the alternate 3rd jersey for tCBJ?

Since my Avalanche are out of the question, I will let you know that the Blue Jackets are my 2nd team. That's a good choice.

Did anyone mention they are hosting the All-Star Game this season?
Nstionwide Arena is a great venue for a fun team to watch. I do miss going there.

We need to sign Ryan Johansson, but his agent is adding for way to much.

He's holding out of training camp.

Go Blue Jackets if its them vs the Blues.


CBJ is a solid squad, the fans are great and they are fairly new so no one will call you a bandwagon jumped

We haven't even won a playoff series, so the bandwagon had plenty of empty seats.

I did and that should be their home uniform, as far as I'm concerned.

few stuff about St>louis Blues

Had record(all sports) of 26 years straight in Playoffs. Was part of the Norris, chuck norris as it was called.

Has some of the best and loyalist fans in the sport. Even during the rebuild years, fans bought in. But zero titles is the only blemish.

One of top logos in sports, and has a younger team, with some fill in vets.

When they finally win a title, st.louis will go crazy, they have been waiting a long time for one.

i've been following the Blues for close to 36 years. My aunt would get free tickets, from working at local Paper and i'd go all the time at age 5, with my mom, dad, or aunt.

I agree. The jersey needs an overhaul IMO.

Is there any reason to believe an overhaul will happen in the near future? (This won't factor into my decision.)

You seem to be knowledgeable and, more importantly, neutral. If you happen to read this, would you mind weighing in on the great Blues vs. Blue Jackets debate? Is there anything I should know about the two franchises that hasn't been mentioned yet?

If you had to choose one for me, which one would it be? (I realize that is a silly question to ask, but I'm curious what your response would be.)

(Anyone is welcome to answer, not just Baloo.)


I apologize for keeping this thread alive, but this decision is a fairly difficult one to make.

Im also a closet Blues fan, which most of my fellow hawks fans would find disgusting.

Sakic, Forsberg, Lemieux, Roy were pretty awesome to watch in their heyday, a year or 2 after the left Quebec.

The Oilers aren't sniffing the playoffs for years but you'd be surprised how the bandwagon accusations work.

I think this is what you meant. They've been awesome ever since, too (minus a couple seasons).

The Avs are my favorite team in all of sports. Have been a fan ever since I started playing hockey when I was in first grade.
Not to mention our top forward lines look so dirty on paper for this season...

Lol cbj history.

They've been a largely loser franchise for their history. But I am confident this is changing.

Follow both the Blues and Jackets

Since they aren't in same division, you can root for them to play each other in Finals.
