At what point will everyone in the FO get there act together and do something to make sure that we at least get a good draft pick out of this disaster of a season? Every win just makes the season worse at this point.

Tanking to the point you want would be counterproductive. We're already missing our #1 goaltender (and running with a guy that the vast majority of Jackets fans couldn't wait to see go away as of November) We aren't going to blow up the team and we aren't going to randomly start sitting guys.

Not really sure what you want. We're an above average team with some terrible luck this season. That's just not good/bad enough for a bottom 5 finish. Sorry.

When they deserve to be canned for thinking like this. I'm sure they don't share your dream of a top 4 draft pick.

29 games to go, not over yet...
How about being appreciative for the current boys wearing the blue who busted their ass tonight? That was a hell of a game. THAT was Blue Jackets hockey. The draft is still 4 months away, so who cares?

Meh, it's ok for fans to hope we get a top 2 or 3 pick in the event we don't make the playoffs. To seriously think a team with a decent core would trade away assets to lose intentionally isn't. I don't know how people can seriously think they would or that it's a good idea.

People that don't think a late season surge is worth watching more of the same futile hockey for the foreseeable future. I'd hardly call a close victory over a bad hockey team a reason to start preparing for a SC parade.

Holy Hyperbole Batman. What an EPIC misrepresentation of the fan base. Team played hard and made a good comeback. Reason to be happy for a night.

Curtis is playing well, but Forseberg should play tomorrow. Don't really want to play Curtis 3 in 4 nights; especially when he tweaked something tonight. My guess is he's going to feel it tomorrow.

Remember Richards; this is your backup. He's not used to a heavy workload.

Watch it again if you didn't notice the first time, hilarious :laugh:

Which is why this team has won 3 of its last 4, and is 18-11-1 after the 6-15-2 start, and has all 4 Centers healthy? Nobody is forcing you watch this, clearly "futile" team.

Yeah, a bad team that had a 2 goal lead with 10 minutes remaining, and came in 5-0-2 in their last 7. Yeah, this win was a breeze. It required no heart or effort at all.
