https://twitter.com/THWMark/status/827721491563298816 Dalton Prout is the #8 defenseman on the depth chart and can't stay on the ice because Torts doesn't want him there. If they get a depth dman at the Deadline, they're almost going to have to put him on waivers WE'RE SO CLOSE, CBAS.  Also, why do I have a weird feeling Jarmo's going to pull a deal for Duchene out of his rear end like he did Gaborik in the "Where the hell did that come from?" department?

Fartsmell has been named the CBJ's LGBT and Diversity Ambassador: http://www.dispatch.com/sports/2017...-you-believe-inPornographic Memory posted:some of the quotes coming out of there make it sound like they've just straight given up. iginla straight up said he hopes he's traded somewhere that will get him to the playoffs, i think duchene said he'd be okay with a trade, and mackinnon said something about hoping that the draft pick they get from this season is good enough to make the next top 100 players list the nhl compiles. I feel for Jared Bednar. He didn't want to leave Cleveland unless he had a chance at an NHL head coaching gig, got his chance because of Roy, and then...this.

He said he'd have liked to have met the Fuhrer when he was in Columbus on his thank you tour, but I don't think that automatically makes one racist. The article also mentions he's had some tie to You Can Play since Philly. It was also brought up by others in N/V that hockey players (or athletes in general) may support whoever helps them keep the most money. e- You Can Play was the initiative he did a PSA for.

glynnenstein posted:This was an interesting little factoid and it got me wondering: Columbus has a bunch of former first rounders, but most weren't drafted by the team itself: -Foligno (2006 28, Ottawa) -Gagner (2007 6, Edmonton) -Hartnell (2000 6, Nashville) -JMFJ (2005 3, Carolina) -Jones (2013 4, Nashville) -Murray (2012 2, Columbus) -Wennberg (2013 14. Columbus) -Werenski (2015 7, Columbus) They traded a former first rounder of their own (Dano) to get Saad and another (Rychel) to get Harrington. If you want to go a bit further back, Nash was traded for a package including Dubinsky and the pick which turned into Rychel. Interesting to note four of the CBJ's top six were first rounders. Nutivaara was a 7th and Savard was (I think) a 3rd.

Coach talk, eh? Hitchcock in Columbus was the victim of ownership being too drat stupid to fire Howson instead, but I liked him. I have no good lasting impression of Arniel and he should've been fired 20 games before he was. I liked Richards save for his chronic inability to get a decent start to the season, with achieving the literal worst possible start to the season scenario being his undoing. Torts rules.

JawKnee posted:too bad the Avs suck so bad it won't matter The Canucks drat near ended the CBJ win streak at eight so I'm not terribly surprised. What I don't like is the Jackets are getting into a pattern of "playing well against the teams they should (or think they should) play up to the level of (NYR, PIT, DET), playing like rear end against the ones they don't think they should get up to (NJD, VAN)". The CBJ must have heard I'm working at the college I attended this time 10 years ago and are trying to fully make me feel like it's 2007, because they did this against LA, Chicago, St. Louis, Edmonton, and Phoenix in 2006-07 and it frustrated the hell out of me. Levitate posted:e: What's going to happen is that Columbus is going to mediocre their way to the 1st wildcard spot and the Rangers are going to have to play another lovely series against the Pens while Columbus romps over whatever pile of poo poo makes it out of the Atlantic This is entirely possible at this point even though the media thinks the CBJ and Pens are racing each other for home ice. Just as long as Boston doesn't win the Atlantic (checks standings; thank God). There was a point reached during the 16 game win streak where the "All they need to do is finish at or just below .500 to reach 100 points" milestone was reached and...that's pretty much what's happening.

Jackets have slumped recently, but I have faith that Torts/Shaw/Larsen/McCudden can figure out how to get it fixed in 29 games. They'll be in, it's just a matter of where and how long wind up lasting. And the fact I'm typing that last sentence this season still blows my mind. Levitate posted:I mean most teams in the league no matter how good they are go through hot and cold stretches. Even if you're awesome it's hard to be awesome over an entire 82 game schedule, this is probably more the bottom end of the Blue Jackets swing that's balancing out the top end they had going early in the season. I'd also expect the Caps to come back to earth a bit as well. Caps aren't going to score 5-6 goals per game the rest of the way. This article (looks like it's from a Caps blog) talks about how Henrik Zetterberg compared the CBJ and Caps and gives the CBJ the "harder to play against" tag, also talking about how it's no cake walk to the finish for the Caps: http://www.russianmachineneverbreak...n-the-capitals/

Levitate posted:Not reading the article because I'm lazy but Columbus seems like a team that's hard to play against because they keep coming at you and are physical alogn with being pretty good. The Caps are a more skilled and better team but it's not like they're beating the poo poo out of you and making things tough while they're winning the games like the BlueJackets do Yeah, that literally pretty much sums it up. I guess it was actually a story based on an NHL.com article.

Aye Doc posted:https://twitter.com/iancmclaren/status/830597008637493249 To be fair, when you play like rear end like they did against Vancouver (though some of that could have been Miller in the "goalie who just couldn't be solved" department a la Condon and Johnson) and whatever the New Jersey game was supposed to be, as well as blowing half of a six-goal lead in three minutes against the Rags, you're deserving of some negatives being pointed out. Play like that and you're getting swept the gently caress out in the first round. Now, if they're referring to something longer term like Torts not being completely happy with otherwise solid wins like he was at times during the 16 game win streak, then I get it.

GOOD TIMES ON METH posted:Portzline has a good article out today about Dave Clarkson quote:The Blue Jackets have tried to remind him that he's still part of the organization. Assistant general manager Bill Zito has taken him to Cleveland to watch the minor-league Monsters play, and the organization has noted that Clarkson's keen eye could lead to him having a hockey operations role someday. They've gone big time with the "recent NHL players/alumni in the organization" thing in recent years. Freddy Modin, Chris Clark, Jody Shelley, Blake Geoffrion, and Jarkko Ruutu all have roles with the team and Jean-Luc Grand-Pierre has been an ambassador and occasional guest color analyst on radio broadcasts (Modin did radio Monday night, too). They haven't given Vinny Prospal the job he was promised yet, but Clarkson could fit in. e- Apparently Dan Hinote is back with the CBJ as a pro scout?

I thought that said Tom Wilson to LA at first and was going to joke if that was their difference-maker for the playoffs.Aphrodite posted:Their situation was that an expensive bad player is still better than paying a guy who can't play. They could probably afford Horton but it didn't make sense with a much tighter budget than Toronto has. He's on LTIR, which freed up cap space, and is also expected to waive his NMC for the expansion draft, which would allow the CBJ to protect an extra player.

Last night was the first win streak-like, complete effort I've seen out of the CBJ in a while. Seemingly clogging the middle and creating turnovers at will, including the one which led to Bjorkstrand's breakaway goal. They'd been coming out of the post-streak hangover they'd had, but are consistently looking better, which is reassuring. I think they're 9-10-1 since now which would be a stretch we'd have killed for as CBJ fans at times over the years, but kinda looks not so good now. Feels good man. The Dirty Burger posted:1 assist in 29 games this year, why the hell did they even recall him from Bingo I don't know what Rychel and Dano are up to, but Alexander Wennberg has turned out quite nicely.
