I want to take a minute to wish all readers a joyous holiday season! It’s been a warm December here so far, so there is essentially no chance of a White Christmas around these parts. In fact, I suspect some people will be having backyard cookouts :-).
The Blue Jackets are undefeated since my last post (which must not have been too long ago 🙂 ) after a 7-5 win at Arizona, and last night’s shootout win over Philadelphia in front of the home fans. Joonas Korpisalo has looked pretty good between the pipes, and he finally picked up his first win last night. Sergei Bobrovsky is improving faster than thought, and may be back in the lineup fairly soon.
Ohio State and Kentucky don’t get together very often. I wasn’t expecting much out of the Buckeyes in yesterday’s game in Brooklyn, given the slow start this season. But the Bucks surprised everyone with a 74-67 win. After taking leads of as much as 16 points, the Cats made a furious comeback. But it fell short. The loss is disappointing for UK fans, of course, but the win was a real boost to the young Buckeyes. It will be interesting to see if yesterday’s game was a fluke, or if OSU can now make a run at the Big Ten title.
