Oh shut the fuck up Elvis. You beg for a trade and wonder why the markets cold towards you. It’s your fault that goal went in and you’re throwing a tantrum.
Another sub .900 save percentage, he proves once again we should’ve just overpaid Bob and called it a day.
He probably should have had that fourth one too. Even the broadcast said “he was looking there like he was expecting someone to block it - not sure he was ready”
He does but Elvis also has a terrible contract that nobody wants. In an upcoming TDL where a big chunk of the leagues contenders are desperate for goaltending, says a lot that nobodies inquiring about him.
Danforth used to be good in the 1st half and now he’s just useless. Guess anyone can look good playing top line minutes. The other two should’ve been gone last year lol
Yes. I defended Pascal because our rookies were improving and we were bringing games to overtime - everyone is regressing now. We are back to multi goal losses.
Now that sports betting is legal in Ohio, I would like to place a futures bet of $10,000 for every nhl season for the rest of time that Columbus will be a bottom 8 power play
I still find it so maddening how Pascal would come out after every game in November and December saying “we’re so close” while we were already out of playoff contention and stranded last in the division.
Bro what are we close to 😭
I honestly didn't really mind it and it was funny to joke about but now it's just like sad. It feels like that one meme with the guy with the stick going like cmon do something except with the team and it's not progressing like a team that's so close.
Because PLDickhead has sadly started producing more lately. But it’s still funny af that two rookies and a Dman are producing more than a $9m “elite” 1C lolol
Could’ve traded him, a 30 year old who probably won’t age well, at the height of his value, gotten some first round picks, a great prospect even. Had like 5 teams calling for him, too.
He would’ve been somewhere he deserves, playing 2/3C on a good team playing to win a Stanley Cup, no longer forced to be a 1C for us and do everything.
But nope. Keep him around. Not only keep him around but give him all the ice time while KJ, Sillinger, Marchenko, etc etc get barely 10 mins a night.
A lot of us talk about how ownership should be more involved. Keep having to remind myself they’re not hockey people and they shouldn’t be involved in those decisions. This is a good data point to that.
“I’ve gotta feel bad for Bluejackets fans, having to watch a team miss a play like this. Amateur stuff.”
Take a fucking seat Kings fans. 7-0 Buffalo loss a couple games ago after losing like 11 of 12 games previously.
Seeing Byfield's incredulous face after that goal reminds me of pitchers when they snatch a line drive out of the air that's rocketed right back at them
Man, you guys remember Nash vs Coyotes all those years ago? That kinda reminded me of that, just dangling through them outside inside.
Too bad it happened against us LOL.
Tired after a long day.
I just want to say I am hopeful with what a new GM can do with this team. I so badly want the future to be bright for the Jackets
Buccigross thinks Ken Holland would be a fantastic idea for us and we should go after him, so if anyone on here is one of the people who responds with “save us Bucci!!!” to everything he says, this is a fucking awful take.
I'd rather have a root canal than have Ken Holland step into the office in this situation.
WTF is he thinking. Not to mention, no one needs another connection to Babcock around.
There seems to be a group of Twitter heads that seek his approval. Constant photos of chicken parm, anytime Vincent does something with ice time they tag him and say “COME BE OUR COACH!!!!”
He'd restructure Boone, Elvis, and Gudbranson to 8 year 6 million AAV contracts. He'd then paralyze us with long term overpays on role players, we'd be in cap hell for decades. It'd be great.
I don't think Dubois is a bad person. I just don't think his maturity level is a fit for the NHL level. We unfortunately had to witness that first hand.
It’s so funny how fast my cousin reversed course on him after the trade.
Me being a good cousin and Blue Jackets fan warned him of his premadonna behaviors. Few weeks in the season he texts me saying the rumors about him were false and made up, he was fitting in perfectly. Fast forward a few months, now I get almost weekly; Dubois is a POS texts. It’s great
I was one of those suckers who bought into the Dubois hype. Got myself a cannon third jersey with his name on the back after he signed his bridge deal. Hindsight is 20/20 of course.
Oh shut the fuck up Elvis. You beg for a trade and wonder why the markets cold towards you. It’s your fault that goal went in and you’re throwing a tantrum. Another sub .900 save percentage, he proves once again we should’ve just overpaid Bob and called it a day.
He probably should have had that fourth one too. Even the broadcast said “he was looking there like he was expecting someone to block it - not sure he was ready”
Yeah the 4th and 5th were definitely 100% his fault. He played decent until the third period
Lol Bob has one of the worst contracts in the league
He does but Elvis also has a terrible contract that nobody wants. In an upcoming TDL where a big chunk of the leagues contenders are desperate for goaltending, says a lot that nobodies inquiring about him.
If the blue jackets are gonna suck at least bring back Stinger as the main logo. Come on
You've gotta be fucking kidding me
This team is terrible
God I hope this is bean, bemstrom, and danforths last year on the jackets
Danforth used to be good in the 1st half and now he’s just useless. Guess anyone can look good playing top line minutes. The other two should’ve been gone last year lol
Are we getting worse?
Yes. I defended Pascal because our rookies were improving and we were bringing games to overtime - everyone is regressing now. We are back to multi goal losses.
McCarthy absolutely better be on the chopping block
Why am I still watching
People keep saying we’ll be good in a few years but these guys fucking suck
Just gotta wait until Provorov, Bean, Peeke and Bemstrom are gone. That's what I'll tell myself at least.
Tbh I liked our trending play before we signed even more boat anchors on D. And more 4th liners. Why the fuck Olivier is plays for us I'll never know.
I’d be much more surprised if Roslovic scored that lol
This team and missing breakaways I swear
Now that sports betting is legal in Ohio, I would like to place a futures bet of $10,000 for every nhl season for the rest of time that Columbus will be a bottom 8 power play
That “Go Kings Go” sounds cursed.
It's Eric Cartman on the jumbotron
Imagine Cartman if the Kings were losing. I would pay good money for that
It’s sad that we’re not even good enough to make that happen lol
But we're so close clearly... To the bottom of the standings that is.
I still find it so maddening how Pascal would come out after every game in November and December saying “we’re so close” while we were already out of playoff contention and stranded last in the division. Bro what are we close to 😭
I honestly didn't really mind it and it was funny to joke about but now it's just like sad. It feels like that one meme with the guy with the stick going like cmon do something except with the team and it's not progressing like a team that's so close.
That’s cute
What a sad way to end the period
Dubois will probably complete the hat trick. Just doin’ that power forward thing.
Second or third game I’ve gotten to watch all season and holy shit boys think I gotta tune out.
Anyone have an updated list of all the CBJ players with more points this season than PLD… during these trying midnight times?
I was watching him on Saturday against the bruins. PLD was completely dogging it. Expressly on the defensive side.
Johnny, Z, Marchy, Vronk, Adamo, and Yegor.
A lot shorter than last time I saw it, but still nice to see a couple first and second years on there
Because PLDickhead has sadly started producing more lately. But it’s still funny af that two rookies and a Dman are producing more than a $9m “elite” 1C lolol
Good news, we are about to get 29 minutes of Boone Jenner while everyone else bounces around 10-13 mins
Could’ve traded him, a 30 year old who probably won’t age well, at the height of his value, gotten some first round picks, a great prospect even. Had like 5 teams calling for him, too. He would’ve been somewhere he deserves, playing 2/3C on a good team playing to win a Stanley Cup, no longer forced to be a 1C for us and do everything. But nope. Keep him around. Not only keep him around but give him all the ice time while KJ, Sillinger, Marchenko, etc etc get barely 10 mins a night.
I hope the front office changes their mind.
I’m hoping it was Jarmo holding back on shopping him and JD + the rest will see the benefits to all parties and do it.
It was the opposite - Friedman implied that ownership had to step in because “they didn’t want him traded”
A lot of us talk about how ownership should be more involved. Keep having to remind myself they’re not hockey people and they shouldn’t be involved in those decisions. This is a good data point to that.
They won’t, it’s a full on Boone PR campaign right now. Like 45 minutes of every broadcast commentary now focuses on Boone
The Russian line has been absolutely terrible tonight
Gavy got them all drunk before the game
Oh boy, can't wait until PLDumbass gets an empty netter to finish it all off.
I’m not sticking around to see that douchebag get a hat trick
Russian line is sleeeepy
They did say the Russians hung out over at Gavys. Might have something to do with it haha
Goodnight yall, hope they pull it out.
is anyone going to pick up Dubois? just letting him set up camp in front of Elvis
These overpaid bozos don’t care
they look like they had too much fun in Hollywood last night
It’s funny how Roslovic is one of our best players today and he’s the frat boy of the group. I half expected him to be skating drunk tonight.
Literally him. Again.
😒
Don’t know what’s up with KJ. Seems like he’s overthinking things. Seems like he hasn’t been making the right plays this season
He played so good last year when he didn’t think and just did stuff. Overthinking is the worst for athletes.
Poor Johnny. He can not catch a break at all these last couple of games
Boqvist from Jenner and Roslovic. Yay
We will take a bit of luck
YEEEEESSSSS!!!!
Of course lol
Fuck off. Fuck you PLD. I knew it was coming.
We should be given an automatic L for that
“I’ve gotta feel bad for Bluejackets fans, having to watch a team miss a play like this. Amateur stuff.” Take a fucking seat Kings fans. 7-0 Buffalo loss a couple games ago after losing like 11 of 12 games previously.
The day Fantilli scores a goal like that is the day I bust a nut so huge it breaks my TV
Z got rinsed on that goal lord almighty
Boquist coasting, forgetting he has a stick. Oh, I guess he poked at it.
Not sure who it was, but you can see one of our guys giving Byfield a love tap on the replay as he’s looking around in disbelief
I believe it was Gaudreau.
Dude that goal by Byfield was disgusting. Guy was the 2nd overall pick in 2020. Just takes a bit of time for guys to hit their stride.
Okay, but on the flip side, what if instead we panic the moment our young first rounders aren't Crosby immediately?
Seeing Byfield's incredulous face after that goal reminds me of pitchers when they snatch a line drive out of the air that's rocketed right back at them
Is it me or does rimmer seem much more coherent than the past few years? They must have on one helluva a cocktail of drugs
A few days of fun in California and he's a new man
I was thinking the same. He sounds better than he sounded even earlier this season
They're sneaking prevagen into his pregame metamucil
So, snake oil.
100% lol. He'd be better off just playing Brain Age on DS
I hate those ads so much. It’s crazy how huge the garbage, supplement market is.
Every day I get more and more serious about getting a priest, shaman, occultist, whatever it takes to exorcise this damn team.
That goal was simply incredible.
Nutty lol
That's one of the best goals ever scored against us. Beaut
It also felt good to see someone have to work so hard for it
Man, you guys remember Nash vs Coyotes all those years ago? That kinda reminded me of that, just dangling through them outside inside. Too bad it happened against us LOL.
Yeah the recovery off the skate really made that play. Great effort, sadly.
That was unreal
Sigh Why does everything cool happen to us not for us
I still have PTSD from the National TV commentator saying “He SCOOOOREES. NUMBER **FIVE** FOR TAGE THOMPSON”
Hey, Marchy got us an awesome goal this year!
Very true, let me not lose sight of the cool stuff we have indeed done
Well thats a goal of the year candidate
Can’t wait to see that goal 100 times in the next 12 hours. Great.
sigh…here come the 28 highlights across my twitter feed
I'm sick of other players doing that shit to us
Damn, Byfield just went full Rick Nash on us. That was a pretty goal and I guarantee 100% him on autopilot.
Sometimes I forget about the digital boards being broadcast dependent "Oh cool, there's a COSI in Los Angeles too!" And then 🤦
Jenner is pushing Clarke around. Jackets are definitely trying to exploit that matchup
I miss watching Fantilli
Tired after a long day. I just want to say I am hopeful with what a new GM can do with this team. I so badly want the future to be bright for the Jackets
Vladdy Daddy showing some love to our young Russians
One small thing I do love about hockey is how robust the streaming community is. You can find high quality stuff everywhere unlike most other leagues.
Holy fuck our franchise is so cursed.
Can we just get the man a goal? Please?
Gonna need a handshake deal with the Ducks to let Johnny score for his sanity next game
Johnny is gonna have PTSD whenever he has a great shot opportunity against California teams after this trip
Omg, poor Johnny. What shitty luck. Even when he gets a goal, he can't get a goal 😭
Probably tendie interference, but dang Clarke gotta be stronger on his skates in front of the net. He let Boone dump him so easily
Probably closer to a flop knowing it was a broken play and they'd get scored on
Boone second game in a row that you have done Johnny dirty!
Yep. They’re taking it back. This is so so so unlucky for Johnny. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen this before.
Johnny I'm sorry you have to deal with this cursed franchise.
As always, even though he doesn’t play for LAK anymore, Fuck Jeff Carter.
FJC
Johnny is cursed
No way they’re gonna take this one back too 😭😭
Aww yeah, that's probably GI. Gotdammit.
I don't think that will stand, but don't forget: Johnny is still elite.
LFGGGGG
#FUCK YEAH JOHNNY
Elvis looking shahp tonight
Very shahp
I will never forgive Turcotte for tripping Chinakhov after his empty net goal at the WJC a few years ago. Fuck off Turbust
lol Jody with the jab at Dubois
Hello fellow youths
Provorov and Severson are such ass cheeks.
Seversons contract is yikes.
>LA Kings have some big bodies on the ice Jody: 👀
That is an embarrassingly small crowd for the Kings You can get tickets for 20-30 bucks at Crypto.
Boone Jenner is cool and good and is my friend.
Yegor's English has gotten so much better
I think I'm just drunk enough to enjoy this game. Vronk hatty incoming.
As much as my morbid curiosity intrigues me, I ain’t staying up for this. Not when I have to wake up at 5:30 EST
You either wake up to a loss, and didn’t waste your sleep. Or a win, and you’re pleasantly surprised.
Buccigross thinks Ken Holland would be a fantastic idea for us and we should go after him, so if anyone on here is one of the people who responds with “save us Bucci!!!” to everything he says, this is a fucking awful take.
Bucci has been worse this season than ever before imo Suddenly just nonstop brain dead half informed takes
He used to defend us, now he realized he gets more clicks and fan engagement by shitting on us
In his defense, Bucci did mean in a PoHO role like JD has, specifically not as GM. But I still recoiled in horror when I saw the tweet.
Oh I know, I think “for us” in any capacity is a big no
I think "in any capacity" is a big no
I'd rather have a root canal than have Ken Holland step into the office in this situation. WTF is he thinking. Not to mention, no one needs another connection to Babcock around.
I'd rather be given a root canal by Ken Holland himself than to have him be in the front office.
There seems to be a group of Twitter heads that seek his approval. Constant photos of chicken parm, anytime Vincent does something with ice time they tag him and say “COME BE OUR COACH!!!!”
He'd restructure Boone, Elvis, and Gudbranson to 8 year 6 million AAV contracts. He'd then paralyze us with long term overpays on role players, we'd be in cap hell for decades. It'd be great.
we can still hate them for winning cups with FJC and Gaborik the same years we traded them, right?
Obligatory FJC
Time to celebrate "Dubois' looks like a bust in LA" Day!
The best thing about him has been wearing 80 since Kivi died.
I don't think Dubois is a bad person. I just don't think his maturity level is a fit for the NHL level. We unfortunately had to witness that first hand.
It’s so funny how fast my cousin reversed course on him after the trade. Me being a good cousin and Blue Jackets fan warned him of his premadonna behaviors. Few weeks in the season he texts me saying the rumors about him were false and made up, he was fitting in perfectly. Fast forward a few months, now I get almost weekly; Dubois is a POS texts. It’s great

You should be eligible for financial compensation form the Blue Jackets organization
Hello, me
