On top of all the other bullshit regarding Johansen:quote:General manager Jarmo Kekalainen said Johansen, a Canadian, would need one or two days to be cleared through immigration to play for a U.S.-based club. Then he’d have to travel to Columbus (or directly to Buffalo) from Vancouver, British Columbia, where he has been skating and training during the impasse. ...leading Portzline to suggest he might need to be signed no later than Monday to play against Buffalo, including travel from Vancouver to Columbus/Buffalo.

sportsgenius86 posted:No. They openly said if he keeps producing they'll open the checkbook. They just didn't want to open it after one good season. Steve Mason was re-signed by Howson for two years on the hope he would snap out of suck mode and revert to Calder mode. It didn't work- in fact, he got worse. At the same time, they could've signed Tomas Vokoun and Howson said no. I think that's what the CBJ were trying to avoid.

Levitate posted:Is Erixon actually gonna play? With Murray hurt and Goloubef penciled in to be the spare, he'll definitely start the season. Where he fits in when Murray's ready (which sounds like it could be very soon) is unknown. There was some suggestion Goloubef may be trade bait when the Jackets get to 8 healthy D because they don't know if he'll clear waivers, which would make him #7. I don't see Murray AND Erixon bumping somebody on D to the press box. Glambags posted:I was really hoping Jerry D would make the CBJ squad and stick in the NHL. He grew up in the same area as me and so few people make anything of themselves out of that dump He may still get to play a couple games if Johansen isn't ready for some reason and he (D'Amigo) clears waivers. Something about a waived player still being able to stay with the big club for a few days (Kyle Wilson did it in 2010-11). Doctor Butts posted:Did Chaput play some games last year? Name looks familiar. Chaput played 10 or so games as an injury callup early last season. The Jackets got him for Tom Sestito a few years ago. EA had him do some mo-cap work when the Jackets were in Vancouver, interestingly enough. I had Rychel making it over Dano based on what I saw in the preseason.

Zodijackylite posted:Not quite current, but Mike Rupp was drafted 9th overall and was considered a power forward as a prospect. He put up respectable, but not huge numbers in juniors (16 goals at age 18) and he almost matched that with 13 goals in 2009. He didn't really take on the heavyweight/enforcer role until a bit later in his career. The year he was drafted, he only had 11 fights on the OHL - around 70th in the league. I just looked Dorsett up and noticed he had 64 points in 61 games in his last season in the WHL. After a couple years in the NHL where he didn't do much other than fight came the season where he decided to use Vinny Prospal as a role model in terms of approach to the game and scored 12 goals/20 points in 2011-12 on a Jackets team which was terrible for 3/4 of the season. Then again, he deliberately got in two fights and took an extra penalty for insurance in the final game of that season to ensure he led the league with 235 PIMs.

BearDrivingTruck's post reminded me: Would you guys get any use out of a thread introducing and giving the ins and outs about local broadcast teams? I'd thought about doing that and we could post what to expect out of the local radio and TV teams for those who might have Gamecenter or be watching local broadcasts and want to avoid bad/listen to good announcers. Also, I can't see Nathan Horton calling it quits without doing everything he can to keep playing. He strikes me as the type who reaaaaaally likes hockey and was genuinely excited to make stuff happen in Columbus, so if (e- it gets to the point where he has to) just say "I'm done", something must be critically wrong. The dude was so happy the two times I met him and every time I saw him interviewed.  At the season ticket sales come-on I was invited to, he looked like he was shocked all these people wanted to come out and hang out with him, almost like he was humbled people liked him. Zip! posted:RE: Enforcer hockey skills chat Tom Sestito looked like he'd be a useful fourth-liner who could create chaos and step in as a punchman if needed in his first season with Columbus. It went to poo poo when he left, apparently. Levitate posted:Yeah this is just the first time I've seen someone pretty legitimate talking about how bad it it really is, seems like before it was just unsourced rumors That was the basis of Aaron Portzline's Tweet I posted yesterday about the Jackets pursuing a Top 6 forward if Horton's really as hosed as they say he is.

I think Lobsterboy (Bruins/CBJ fan) is going. The whole Arena District rules. Parking is a little cheaper the further away from the Arena you go- I think there's a $5 lot near the railroad bridge west of the baseball stadium. The RBar is a hockey bar which I've never been to but it seems like a cool place. If you're looking for casual eating, there's a Boston Pizza and Jimmy John's across the street. BD's Mongolian Grill is like a Japanese Hibachi only less good. The Montana Grill's pretty good. There's also an Irish pub with Irish-themed food, a Buca di Beppo (I think), and a handful of other bars within a short distance North of the Arena.

Jack Skille wore #5 last year to honor Blake Geoffrion, his friend who had to retire due to concussion problems (and became a member of the CBJ's pro scouting staff). When he was re-claimed by the Jackets, he changed to #10. Why? To "give the fans the #5", referring to the We Are The 5th Line campaign that went nuclear late last season.
