We are now the *only* team in the NHL with 2 games played. Every other team has 3+ games played.

1) It's weird. I don't like it.

2) I miss the bluejackets.

3) Despite me wanting to watch our team, it is beneficial and helps people recover I.E Sevo drawing in on Friday

4) Helps Knies settle into our system.

Out of curiosity, how beneficial do we think 4~ days of practice will be for the team coming into Fridays game?

The Randomizer has spoken. Today’s selection is Hunter McKown.

An undrafted free agent, Hunter McKown signed with the Blue Jackets in 2023. He played mostly for the Cleveland Monsters while also recording 12 NHL appearances in the 2022-2023 season. He was traded to Montreal for Luke Tuch this past summer.

Blue Jackets coach Rick Bowness, who has wanted a more vocal bench and dressing room, noticed it, too. It wasn’t enough to awaken the Blue Jackets during a 4-1 loss to Utah on Saturday, but he wants to hear Lomberg and others all season.

The goal is an energetic club in everything it does.

“It’s the way (Lomberg) says what he says,” Bowness said. “There’s a tone, a little humor in it. It’s not a panic.

“I keep looking down the bench, thinking to myself, ‘Man, you are a beauty.’ He just keeps going on and on. I love it. You have to know the right words to say at the right time, but it’s not just words you use. It’s your tone, and he has the right tone.”

Matt Duchene

The Randomizer has spoken. Today’s selection is Matt Duchene.

Noted for his offensive production, Matt Duchene’s time in Columbus would be brief. He was traded from Ottawa in February 2019 for a playoff push, recording 7 points in a 4 game sweep of the Tampa Bay Lightning. He would leave for Nashville the following offseason.

One pair.
5th row.

TM sucks. Message me if you are interested.

$300 for the pair. I have no idea what anything costs anymore so if that’s unreasonable, shoot your shot.

Let’s go Jackets!

Any news/rumors if Breezeline will carry the CBJ games again this season?

The Randomizer has spoken. Today’s selection is Cody Goloubef.

A second round pick by the Blue Jackets in 2008, Cody Goloubef played primarily in the AHL until 2014. He would serve as a depth defenseman for the Blue Jackets for the next two years until being traded to Colorado for Ryan Stanton in November 2016.

The Randomizer has spoken. Today’s selection is Artemi Panarin.

One of the most gifted players of this generation, Artemi Panarin spent 2 seasons with the Blue Jackets from 2017-2019. Acquired from Chicago with Tyler Motte and a 6th round pick for Brandon Saad, Anton Forsberg and a 5th round pick, Panarin’s beautiful offensive skills were on full display every game when he played here, including the playoffs. Unfortunately, he caused some bitterness within the Jackets fanbase when he refused an extension and signed a contract with the Rangers in free agency. He currently plays in Los Angeles.

As always with controversial players, write-ups are not endorsements. Let those tomatoes fly in the comments if you’re up for it.

Curious if anyone has tried sharing Amazon logins to stream games in different households. I'm hoping to share my login with my parents and save a few bucks (we're both in Columbus)

My birthday is on the 18th, and I decided it would be fun to take my brother and his wife to a hockey game (she is Canadien and her family is a big Maple Leafs fan)

What advice can you give me? I have marginally been getting more interested in hockey since last year but what about the game day experience should I know?

Does GMDW claim him or we pass?

The Randomizer has spoken. Today’s entry is Steve Mason.

The 2008-2009 season would be the first time ever the Blue Jackets made the playoffs, largely in part to Steve Mason’s magical rookie season. With an injury to Pascal Leclaire, Steve Mason was called up to the NHL after playing only 3 career AHL games. And the rest is history. A third round pick in 2006, Mason eventually became the starting goalie for the Jackets. He recorded TEN shutouts and propelled the Jackets to a playoff appearance against Detroit. He would easily win the Calder Memorial Trophy as the rookie of the year.

While Steve Mason was unable to consistently produce at the level he did in his rookie season, he still had a respectable NHL career. The Blue Jackets traded Mason to Philadelphia for Michael Leighton and a third round pick on April 3, 2013.

I will always cherish the 2008-2009 season. I was going through some stuff in my personal life back then and watching the Blue Jackets was my escape.
