Columbus Blue Jackets Performance Year-Wise
2000-01: Blue Jackets made their debut in NHL. Bruce Gardiner scored the first goal in franchise history. Despite the team's last place in the Central division, goalie Ron Tugnutt set a record for wins by a goalie on an expansion team with 22.
2001-02: After their previous year's respectable performance, the Blue Jackets' second season was full of disappointments as they again finish in the last place. The long-lasting memory of this season was the tragic death of a young 13 year old fan, Brittanie Cecil. While attending the game of Blue Jackets vs. Calgary Flames at Nationwide Arena, she was struck by a deflected puck. This was the first fan fatality in the NHL's 85-year history.
2002-03: This time the team selected 18-year old OHL star Rick Nash and got off to a solid start. However, later on they struggled hard but again finished in the last place. The only comfort for them was the discovery of Rick Nash.
2003-04: Rick Nash continued to perform well and he finished getting equal goals scores with 41 with IIya Koyalchuk of the Atlanta Thrashers and Jarome Iginla. However Rich Nash's excellent performance did not translate into wins for the team and struggled hard to secure 4th place.
2005-06: The Blue Jackets signed defenseman Adam Foote to take the game to the next level but due to injuries to Rick Nash they once again went down. They also landed former All-star Sergei Fedoroy but the team continued to lose and finished securing 3rd place.
2006-07: They got off to horrible start this season and played terribly throughout the season. They again finished last and this time they set an embarrassing NHL record of a team being shutout 16 times.
