After last night’s vigil to honor Johnny & Matthew Gaudreau I walked into the arena to this sight. Dark and quiet. It was as if the building itself was mourning the loss of a man who used to light up this ice.
#CBJ
Last night was one of the most special experiences I’ve had in pro sports. Congratulations to everyone on the
@BlueJacketsNHL
staff that worked on the Rick Nash ceremony. It was perfectly executed. When people ask, “What is Our Blue?” This is it. Everything you felt last night.
Congratulations to
@OhioStateWHKY
for winning the national championship! Coach Nadine Muzzerall was on the air with us a week ago praising her players about how hard they work. Today, all of that work paid off. Great job!
I’m reflecting on the tremendous outpouring of love in our community. Columbus truly is a special place. We will always remember Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau.
About 21 years ago, I started talking with this guy from the
#CBJ
that I hoped would someday be my boss. For the last 12 years he has been. Today he is retiring. Thank you
@russmollohan
for all you have done for me and for being such a good friend. You are a true Blue Jacket.
Thank you for all of the kind words about the
#CBJ
TV broadcast tonight.
@shelleyhawk45
is so fun to work with & the entire
@FOXSportsOH
crew made it easy for me. I can’t thank them enough. Back to radio only on Thursday.
@NHLonNBCSports
game so
@jrimercbj
will have time to heal.
Same view, but a bigger stage tonight. I’ll be joining
@shelleyhawk45
on
@FOXSportsOH
and simulcasting on
@971thefan
& the
#CBJ
Radio Network. I’d love to tell you about the pep talk Torts gave me, but this is a family show.
17 years ago today I woke up to a gorgeous day, in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. I had no idea the world had already changed forever, but I would learn quickly when the house shook with the impact of United Flight 93 not far away.

It seems like only yesterday this guy started playing hockey. Today
@mattmcelligott8
ended his high school hockey career. So glad I was there for the last game. Couldn’t be more proud. Thanks
@GahannaHockey
@hartleybaseball
he’s all yours now. Baseball practice begins tomorrow!
I had a great time speaking to the broadcasters of the
@ECHL
today in Las Vegas. 27 years ago I was able to get my start in that league. I couldn’t be more appreciative for my time there and am so happy to be asked to come back today and talk about my journey to the
#CBJ
Thanks to you and everyone for the kind comments about the long broadcast tonight. I'm glad you listened and I was able to make it enjoyable for you. Too bad it ended like it did, but hopefully the result will be different on Thursday.
You have to give
@BobbyMacSports
all the credit in the world. The guy was on the air for over 6 hours with no color commentor, calling a game that was hundreds of miles away from where he was, and he sounded like a pro the whole time. So nice when radio is done that well.
I was going through some old stuff and ran across this clip that made me LOL! When the
#CBJ
hire a new coach, I hope that I can have half the relationship with him as I have with this guy. Enjoy!
I started coaching him in the spring of 2010. Today was our last day together in the dugout. So much fun. So many memories. So proud of the ballplayer and young man he’s become.
@SCTrappers
It’s almost time for tonight’s candlelight vigil to honor Johnny & Matthew Gaudreau. If you can’t be at
@NationwideArena
with us live, watch our stream on the
#CBJ
@YouTube
channel.
Won't happen. Korpisalo will be protected. Elvis doesn't have to be protected. Kivlenieks will be the goaltender exposed. Find something else to be pessimistic about.
Lions beat Troy today 7-0! Goal scorers were Brehm(2), Sindledecker(2), Giles, Amos, and Schmidt. Matt McElligott takes home player of the game belt with his second shutout this weekend!
#GoLions
I am such a proud dad today!
@Bradenmc2
worked extremely hard for this high school diploma. Thank you to the faculty & staff at
@marburnacademy
Can’t wait to see this young man on the
@OhioState
campus in the fall!
Congratulations to my friend and Inside Edge cohost Jody Shelley (
@shelleyhawk45
) for being named to the broadcast team for
@SportsOnPrimeCA
! He’s done so much great work for the
#CBJ
& deserves this fantastic opportunity. Couldn’t be happier for him!
Training camp is on! I stopped by one of the busiest places in Nationwide Arena — the
#CBJ
equipment room. Head Equipment Manager Jamie Healy and his staff have been working hard to get ready.
He was on our flight back to Columbus yesterday and spent a lot of time talking with our group while waiting for the connecting flight. He’s very personable and it was fun to get to know a little bit about him. I can’t wait to see him on the ice this week!
Yesterday, I talked with John Tortorella about his time in Columbus, whether he still has the fire to coach and much more. If you missed it, have a look or a listen.
Here we go! Today I’ll have a special Thursday edition of the
#MondayMailbag
on
#CBJin30
so send me your questions now. I plan on going live on
@TwitterSpaces
at 11:30 and am looking to have a very special guest on the show. Someone brand new to the
#CBJ
Join me!
Just as I told you on yesterday’s
#CBJin30
@Merzly30
will start for the
#CBJ
tonight. That’s why listening to the show gives you tomorrow’s news today.
It seems like only yesterday that he was just a little boy. I’m so proud of the young man that he has turned out to be. Love you
@mattmcelligott8
Happy 18th Birthday!
Congratulations to
@Bradenmc2
who officially became a member of National Honor Society today. He works so hard for success and I couldn’t be more proud of him!
@BobbyMacSports
Please talk me off the ledge! What do the
#CBJ
have to do to win two straight against a team that seems to have them figured out pretty well.
Thanks to everyone at
@iHeartRadio
Columbus for letting me be a part of Dave & Jimmy’s Softball Classic on
@979WNCI
last night. It allowed me to spend some time with my old friend
@JLGP34
and my new friend
@JohnnyDamon
Tonight,
@Merzly30
will be our guest on the first edition of The Inside Edge for this season.
@shelleyhawk45
& I will join you at 9 PM on
@971thefan

#CBJ
podcasts.
