I literally can’t watch.

I’m going to the game tomorrow. But in my head I’m on sim mode until the tdl

Oh yeah I forgot when the team got embarrassed by NJD Larsen said it was on him. 16 games later was the terrible loss to Buffalo. 2 games after that started the current 7 game losing streak.

I didn't have the stomach to watch all the losses recapped.

It was really fun to watch the Euros vs NA soccer game they played.

Also I really miss Danforth. That guy was really good.

It was funny to see Gaudreau's somehow-not-mutually-exclusive nonchalance and competitiveness on display in a different sport

Currently, the Blue Jackets are the oldest Snow Belt team never to play outdoors. I wonder if this is because the NHL feels they regret giving a team to Columbus. The NHL and Ohio have not had the best relationship, given that the Cleveland Barons were the last team in any big 4 league to fold outright 45 years ago.

I think they just don't like us because we are a "small market" that sucks with a major college sports team that rakes in tons of money but won't spend any of it on winterizing the stadium to add 21st century plumbing.

Doesn't mean they can't play as the road team in an outdoor game. For instance we could play Detroit at Michigan Stadium in next year's Stadium Series to capitalize on the UM-OSU rivalry.

We could but we are still a small market team that sucks and Detroit isn't very good either. They only care for tv ratings.

Small market teams can bring in good ratings too. Ask the Green Bay Packers.

Now they are both CBJ history

How many titles have the Packers won?
How many have the CBJ won?

There is your answer.

You mean the team that's been around over 100 years can bring in good ratings?!?!? Not comparable at all lol

There was some talk about Adam Jiricek (also a defender, 16 years old, 2024 draft) and I couldn't really find the thread anymore, maybe this is a good place anyway... He made his Czech league debut on January 9:

Can easily see the resemblance.

Similar to the St Louis Cardinals in baseball - top 5 in attendance but a small overall market.

 

[MoeBartoli]

I doubt our “stellar” performances in recent national telecasts will inspire the networks to push for a CBJ outdoor game unless they default to appearances using the All Star selection process.

What a game for the kid.

I can see him going very high in the draft next year. Hopefully we won't be drafting high enough to be in that discussion.

Or we could do something and not associate with OSU, since they do nothing to help the jackets.

How about we win some games and stop getting embarrassed first before people are screaming for an outdoor game.

I had to look up to confirm this was actually his tweet. "Musical whore" is not a choice of words I would expect to read from a guy like him. I wonder if he was being intentionally "careless" there...

Getting flashbacks of Jim Day.

caught me off guard too.

tweet sent at 3:01 A.M. Eastern...did the team fly to Nashville last night and ol' Maetz tried to hit up Broadway on MLK Jr Day?
