You could have all played for the same team still !!!
The postponement of the global series featuring the Blue Jackets in Helsinki has resulted in some unseen consequences as well. Like the continued wrath of the Swedish virus, Blue Jackets general manager succession remains unclear as Jarmo has no sons from his seed. Rick Nash serpentining his way into the front office has awakened what strength remains in Savonia, the homeland of Jarmo Kekäläinen.
The happening in Helsinki or more detailed, in the sauna suite of Hartwall Arena, was were Kekäläinen was planned to be introduced to a man who calls himself Jorma the son of Jarmo. Jorma also claims heritage through his mother's side, who is of the European branch of the usurped clan MacLean. Since everyone's travel plans have recently become compromised I do not know the current whereabouts of Jorma Kekäläinen. But do not be afraid. Jorma Kekäläinen will only take what is his.
In Portzline's most recent Q&A he dropped this tidbit in reference to the Jeff Carter from Philly trade:
"But, yeah, that's a crusher, and there's an aspect of that trade that's never been told. Someday, I promise."
Any idea what he's referring to?

I'm not sure what Porty is referencing, but the consensus seems to be that Jeff Carter should have refused to report - and made his refusal clear immediately.In Portzline's most recent Q&A he dropped this tidbit in reference to the Jeff Carter from Philly trade:

I know you all love my "inside-journalism" takes...
But if you've got info you either agreed not to make public or that you're choosing to not reveal in deference to an individual with whom you maintain a working relationship or whatever, then you have to just eat it, no matter how much you wish you could share it.

I had no idea where to put this. For those who haven't seen it...Happy Halloween.
bring back Boomer to help celebrate 20 years of CBJ.
Why not permanently? He's our best mascot.
They could really update him so he's not just an inflatable balloon.I saw it last night, and all I have to say is they need to bring back Boomer to help celebrate 20 years of CBJ.
CD102.5 is going off the airwaves tonight at midnight and going online only. This will be a problem for the CBJ when there are conflicts with OSU sports on 97.1 and 1460.
I pretty much strictly listen to satellite radio with the rare exception of going to FM for CBJ games when driving. How many cars are capable of HD radio? I have a 2017 Nissan that is not.Maybe not. 97.1 has 3 HD signals. The second one is the AM signal. The 3rd one (HD3) was sometimes used for Crew games when other teams had the 97.1 FM (HD1) and 1460 AM (97.1 HD2) signal.
