I get it that it's still fresh in people's minds, but how much "ex lover-y" can we get? It's kind of sad.
I really don't like this outwardly stuff. If the guys want to use it as motivation on an individual level (or in the locker room) fine. Anything that helps them. But I don't like it public and especially don't like it in a legitimate marketing campaign. Further, it seems hypocritical. Torts (paraphrasing): "After today, I'm not talking about the guys that left." Foligno (again paraphrasing): "I don't care about anyone not in this room." And then we do this. Apparently, we do care.
This is getting really annoying and comes across very inferiority complex/small-timey/small market (which is ironically why at least Bread, and perhaps all three of them, moved on). Perhaps I'm alone in this opinion. But I'd prefer they just shut up, win games and be proud of the city without taking passive-aggressive shots.

Did you happen to think maybe it was the players idea , and it motivates them . They were the ones in the locker room , and had to deal with the awful teammates . They are the ones that feel disrespected . This will draw attention . Columbus has been ignored by the National Media, they are rarely on national broadcast . As Duchene said , he was absolutely shocked at the hockey market Columbus was , and has Never heard an arena like he did in game 4 . They feel the city is being disrespected , and they want to create an identity as to what a blue jacket is , and why you should play here . To that , I say it’s about ****ing time
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the League...
At least three teams exploring an offer sheet for Jets' Kyle Connor - Sportsnet.ca
A scoring left wing who's from the Midwest? Hmm. I have a crazy hunch that we just might be one of those teams.
And before he went to Michigan, was playing in Youngstown...Also played with Werenski at Michigan.

We can't do unless we are offering him the 4 firsts level, which I highly doubt.
Handling “the thing”?
Jarmo was a fool for not buying out this clown.
Yep. We may be one of the teams reaching out on an offer sheet, but that doesn't mean we're looking at four 1sts. We could just as easily be trying to recreate the Brandon Saad trade scenario.I think there could be something there with Winnipeg. Not necessarily in the form of an offersheet, but it seems like two teams that could be good trading partners. Winnipeg seems to need D and cap relief. We could use top end scoring. Something around any of our defensemen outside of Jones and Werenski. Jarmo always swings for the fences, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see him take a run at Connor or Laine (although Ehlers has some connection with Bjorkstrand, so that could be a possibility too). All of our defensemen are on very reasonable contracts as well, that might be enticing to a team struggling with the cap.
I wish they could start playing now because I'm tired of hearing about Bob and Panarin and how we don't get any respect. Get on the ice, earn it there and stop talking about it.
Isn’t it about time the jackets have a jersey refresh ? Maybe move towards the cannon as a primary with those colors , instead of the initial color palette that resembles the rangers . I think if the organization is going to stress the blue jacket identity , it would have been a good time .
