#RIP Penguins.


Russell LaBounty-USA TODAY Sports
Lace ‘em up. Time for the Morning Skate.
A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE
Welcome to CBJ Nation. We might as well make that name change. It feels like we talk about the Blue Jackets all the time.
But they’re worth talking about, especially since they absolutely demolished the defending champions to take the NHL lead in points last night. John Tortorella even got some revenge.
What a story.
