Columbus, Blue Jackets stall on Nationwide Arena changes

Despite lots of chatter about the city of Columbus taking over Nationwide Arena to give the Columbus Blue Jackets (NHL) some financial relief, there have been no further talks on the issue -- and there are whispers the Blue Jackets may be looking to move.

The whispers are bouncing around NHL circles, and they're confirmed by Mayor Michael B. Coleman: ""I do not want to lose the Blue Jackets," he told the Columbus Dispatch. "I don't know much about hockey, but I do know about economic development." The Blue Jackets management, for the meantime, isn't talking at all.

Blue Bombers and Blue Jackets in the same city?!?

The Winnipeg Blue Jackets would rival the LA Lakers and Utah Jazz for terrible relocation team nicknames.

Burton Cummings is ecstatic!

He's got his own way to rock, Jimmy, and he'll stand tall. If a team doesn't end it up in Winnipeg, thought, we should break it to him gently.

The Winnipeg Snowfoxes. I believe it's an actual animal.

I Dont think a team in Canada could call themselves the Blue Jackets.

How about the "Winnipeg Cold"?
