Congratulations, you've now inspired the #1 fear of the fanbase for the next 18 months or more.
Were we not already challenging you enough as a mod? I mean, I can do more if you'd like.

Geez, you'd think if any fans would know not to write a team off a week into the season it'd be Bluejackets fans (also, Washington fans). I stick by most of my original assessment of our division rival Rangers - they'll get their act together in a month, by the end of November at the latest, and be in the playoff hunt. I will nix my "second or third in the division" prediction, but a team with their talent can't be written off this early despite two consecutive blowouts.
Also, I reserve the right to be 100% wrong.

While normally leaning to the negative side of things, at this point last year and for awhile thereafter, we were looking at 3 lottery picks. We ended up with none. I think the Rangers get better (hell, they can't get worse) and will be a contender with us for one of the top 3 or 4 spots in the Metro.

I thought our #1 fear as a fanbase was spiders...

JD seems, to me at least, to genuinely like Columbus. At the moment, he is loved by the fan base and is putting together something special in Columbus. I don't think you'll find a more of a gentleman owner in John P. By the time JD's contract is over and he could even consider a move, I think he'll be pretty ingrained here and he'll be more than fairly compensated by John P. for his services. Unless something drastic happens, I don't see a flee danger to the Rangers unless Ranger management is a private goal of his.

What, me worry?
I remember reading an article about the Rangers soon after Torts was let go. It was picking the Rangers to be a team that could be in for a fall. The reason was that Torts deserved a lot of credit for their success with his disciplined defensive structure in front of Lundqvist.
The point of the article was that if the new coach opened things up, giving the players more freedom, the defensive scheme would suffer, often leaving Lundqvist at the mercy of opposing shooters. The hockey world would get to see exactly how good of a goalie he would be without the defensive cover that Torts system gave him, especially considering how many starts he will get facing a lot more shots.
Now I am not agreeing with any of this, but it seems interesting that at this early stage we are, perhaps, seeing that scenario play out a bit. I think that the Rangers are a good squad, and will right the ship, but that article was the first thing that came to my mind after these two blow-outs of the Rangers.

He just bought a house here, has a newly signed contract, and the CBJ would have to grant the Rangers permission to speak to him about a role on the team. Safe to say, he's staying put.
PHI lost again tonight.

West is 18-5-2 vs. the East so far this year.
So happy to be out of that meat grinder. I think we have a real chance in the Metro.

Dorsett has been a penalty machine for the Rangers and it looks like they are on the ropes to lose to the Blues.

Sounds like Rangers fans are already really sick of his act.

So I got free tickets to the Habs/Canucks game(cool atmosphere btw as the arena was invaded by Habs fan). Anyone see this beauty of a game winner?

Not until just now. That's a lulu.
Taken from a thread made on the main board entitled "Dumbest player in the NHL"
Has to be Derek Dorsett (if I misspelled that, **** him I don't care). CBJ must be laughing right now. Guy takes a dumb penalty every shift. Ryan Hollweg is a Mensa member compared to this guy. Can anyone think of a bigger idiot than this POS?

I posed the question several years ago, and most were against it.
But then again, this fanbase is also against Neon Green jerseys, so we both know they are clueless when it comes to a good looking jersey and cannot be trusted.

Personally, I think those original logo CBJ jerseys rank among the worst sports logos of all time. It's just awful. If I never have to see it again, it'll be too soon.

They also got rid of Boomer, perhaps the greatest mascot of all time.
You people should be ashamed of yourselves.
