Somerset native Bob McElligott is the play-by-play man for the Columbus Blue Jackets. He joins me for the Thursday Sided.co “Hockey Week” podcast.
The Penguins and Columbus have enormous back-to-back games coming up. These contests Thursday and Saturday are huge in the Metropolitan Division standings and may go a long way toward determining the Eastern Conference bracket.
We ask Bob about the Blue Jackets up-and-down play since they made all those trades at the deadline, their issues with the Penguins in crucial situations and whether the Penguins will face Keith Kinkaid in net.
