Viewing party tonight @ R Bar!

Just a quick heads up that the R Bar is having a viewing party tonight:

Others say they are Hockey Bars but our fans know reality.

Join us tomorrow when the Jackets take on the Canucks in Vancouver for the first of many Jackets viewing parties. Anyone that comes in door for the game with Jackets' gear will receive the Jackets 'entourage' poster featuring Nash, Mason, Boll and others!

Let's start the season right and watch some Hockey at the only Hockey Bar in Columbus.

Also here is a cool promo poster for the "Dude!! Where's My Hair?" event that is sponsored by the Columbus Blue Jackets Foundation:

A good read sent in by BHG regarding the history behind all 30 NHL team names:

17. Columbus Blue Jackets
Blue Jackets was the winning entry in a name-the-team contest. According to the team’s website, the name “celebrates patriotism, pride and the rich Civil War history in the state of Ohio and, more specifically, the city of Columbus.” Ohio contributed more residents to the Union Army than any other state during the Civil War.
