Blue Jackets This was exactly the move I hoped CBJ ownership would try to put in motion. Perhaps they did, and that’s why Panthers owner is making the move - which I am sure Zito has earned and deserves.  https://apnews.com/article/florida-panthers-bill-zito-5a0ee7a4e66fa07e19... 0 ..read more

Blue Jackets Alright, IMO we have seen enough of this year to talk about something more important; next year. Here are my predictions and comments. Yours are quite welcome. 1. CBJ is a playoff contender: Young core tired of losing will blossom, a couple FA's are signed, and the #1 goalie is set in stone now. 2. New GM and HC will stabilize the Front Office and make changes needed for fewer injuries and less drama.  3. Elvis and Laine will have bounceback years, or are gone by Christmas (IMO: Elvis is the #2 Goalie at the start of the year).  4. Next season Boone Jenner will not ..read more

Blue Jackets You have just received the call from John McConnell and JD and you have been selected as the new GM. Congrats! If my salary cap math is correct (an iffy proposition at best) you have between $9M and $11M (+ whatever amount the cap is going up) to work with. You have Chinahkov, KJ, Marchenko, Nylander, Sillinger, Texier and Bean to sign this off season. (Oh, and you better manage this off season well, because next year you will have to make a decision on RFAs Voronkov, Tarasov and Boqvist + UFAs Kuraly, Danforth, Mathieu and Provorov--if he is still here in the ..read more

Blue Jackets There's been a lot of negativity about the Jackets on this blog, lately, and I think it's time for a reality check. First, let's turn back the clock to last summer. There was a lot of talk from the front office that the Jackets were going to be in the playoffs, this year. Really? Come on. None of us are starry-eyed pre-teens. Seriously, when was the last time, excluding the Original Six era, that you remember a team going to the playoffs in the third year of a rebuild? The fourth or fifth, okay, but not the third. Then there's the whole Babcock fiasco. Look, even if Babcock w ..read more

Blue Jackets Rarely do I get furious, any more. This morning is the exception. If you haven't heard, a mental defective pile of garbage on the BnB Roundtable podcast stated that Patrick Laine is contemplating a (and I quote) Remington retirement. What. The. F*ck? What kind of sick mind comes up with such crap? Like Mudpuppie, I'm a veteran with (among other problems) PTSD. I cannot count the number of times that I stared at a bottle pills, a handgun or other means of ending life and contemplated a quick way to end the pain. Don't ask me how I managed to make it to 64 years old, because I ..read more

Blue Jackets For those who haven't heard, the NHL has reached an agreement with Diamond Sports for Bally Sports to carry local games through the end of this season. Also, Amazon is in talks to buy Diamond Sports. If the sale goes through, it is probable that you'll need to have Prime Video to watch Jackets games. 0 ..read more
