ONE HOUR UNTIL FREE AGENCY!
I predict Johnny Hockey signs an 8-year deal and him and Laine end up being a better duo than McDavid and Draisaitl.
Take it to the bank.

Patrik Laine is a kind and genuine person who does not deserve what was said about him. It is an extremely difficult and courageous thing to seek help for one’s mental health.
Wishing all the best to Patrik and his family. There is nothing more important than mental health.
The last 24 hours have solidified how amazing our fan base is. I am proud to be a part of the 5th line because of the pure compassion.
Kivi was an amazing person who is gone too soon, but I find comfort in knowing he will always be alive in the hearts of the 5th line
#CBJ
Seems like the chiclets guys just have it out for Babcock and will make anything up to make him look bad.
Wouldn't expect anything less from a bunch of neck down weirdos like Whitney and Bissonnette.
When players from Columbus make a statement that the characterizations of Babcock from biz and myself are false just know that's bullshit. I feel bad putting the players in a tough spot but Babcock is a complete weasel and shouldn't be coaching in the NHL
I will never forget the hope and excitement he brought to our city when he chose us. I just hope he knew how much of an impact he had on so many people.
We will miss you, Johnny G.
Thank you for everything.
Day 7 with no
#CBJ
hockey:
- I left work and drove to the arena... Old habits.
- Ate a pint of ice cream in 15 minutes
- watched Carolina get waxed by Boston. Again.
- July 1st is only a month and a half away.
- I miss Boomer
- Everything is awful
Torts has this team, full of rookies, on an 11 game point streak. He was also just fined $20k for standing up for his team.
Why do people still want him fired? Can someone explain this to me?
#CBJ
One thing I will remember about Jarmo is how he defended our city. He loves Columbus and would tell anyone who would listen how great of a place it is.
I believe he did everything in his power to set this team up for success.
All the best to him moving forward.
#CBJ
I am 1000% on board with Elvis doing what he did in OT. He showed a passion tonight that got the team playing harder and the fan base more engaged than I’ve seen in years.
This is the way.
#CBJ
It’s crazy how quickly Sillinger has turned himself in to one of the core players on this team. I can’t wait to watch him grow up in the organization.
The future is bright.
#CBJ
Joonas Korpisalo earns a 40 save shutout against Sidney Crosby and a mostly-regular Penguins lineup. Ottawa improves to 5-1 in the pre-season.
#GoSensGo
Vincent, Jarmo and JD should no longer have jobs after tonight. This team needs an operations reset immediately.
They have legitimately made it embarrassing to be a Jackets fan.
#CBJ
So the team would have 29 instead of 28 points if Elvis didn’t stand up for himself in the net? Still in the basement regardless.
What part of that cost the team “dearly”?
#CBJ
The Athletic:
#CBJ
Elvis Merzlikins erupts in overtime, scraps with
#ALLCaps
Tom Wilson and costs Blue Jackets dearly in 3-2 overtime loss.
Merzlikins: “I feel guilty, but at the same time, sorry. It’s an emotional game.”
I think it’s time to start asking why our $5.5mil goalie has been a healthy scratch for almost 2 weeks after he was playing well.
What the hell is going on?
#CBJ
Marchenko was demoted to the 4th line and had the 2nd lowest TOI the day after he had a hat trick.
They’re not even trying to hide the tank anymore. I am also entirely done with this coaching staff. Can’t wait for them to clean house.
#CBJ
Lots of miserable sons of bitches on Twitter recently because professionals won’t do their jobs poorly on purpose. Doesn’t it ever get exhausting being so miserable? Have a beer and touch some grass and log off for a while.
Go Jackets.
#CBJ
Jarmo was forced to take on Quick's contract to dump Gavi and Korpi. I think it says a lot about the character of our GM that he did the right thing and flipped him to a contender so quickly.
Good guy Jarmo.
#CBJ
Absolutely earth shattering. I have no words, only my thoughts are with his wife and family.
Unimaginable tragedy. Hug your people every chance you get.
Laine was 55% on the dot last night with 2 beautiful assists. He made a ton of good decisions and did a great job of facilitating the puck.
Maybe our
#1
center was right under our nose the whole time.
#CBJ
Currently watching game 4 of the sweep:
Dubois - gone
Jones - gone
Savard - gone
Panarin - gone
Atkinson - gone
Nash - gone
Duchene - gone
Foligno - gone
Dubinsky - gone
Anderson - gone
Bobrovsky - gone
At least we still have Texier I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Johnny G had a 5 point night and the OT game winner. One of the best performances any player has ever had in a Blue Jackets sweater. Instead of praise for him and the team, I wake up to most of Twitter complaining that we won.
So weird.
#CBJ
I still believe that Laine is the kind of player you build a team around. Kind of like what Washington did with Ovi.
Trading him would be a mistake
#CBJ
The amount of people on here that believe we are guaranteed the
#1
pick if we finish last is concerning.
I don’t think you people know how probabilities work.
#CBJ
I still can't believe we lost that game last night.
There is absolutely no way that last goal should have counted. Crosby hits the puck out of Elvis's glove after he caught it. Absolute bullshit.
#CBJ
This is the 2nd team I’ve seen do this so far. Teams are listening to the fan complaints about the poor streaming services.
Hopefully we get something similar here.
#CBJ
I am concerned that if Marchenko gets a bridge deal he will walk at the end of it. Spend a little more on term to lock down one of your top core players.
Get it done.
#CBJ
Sounds like Tex is confirmed coming back next season. If a few more things happen this off-season, this team could very well be competing for a playoff spot next year.
#CBJ
My favorite thing is that all the Toronto fans spent money on tickets and drove here from Canada just to watch their goalie take a shit on the ice.
Beautiful.
Monahan is 4th in points (538) from his 2013 draft class, so there is that.
That is more than:
- Guentzel
- Horvat
- Drouin
- Mantha
- Bertuzzi
- Bjorkstrand
- Wennberg
Just to name a few.
Maybe that contract isn't so steep after all?
#CBJ
Pascal Vincent is going to make the playoffs every year with Calgary.
Patrick Roy is going to make the playoffs every year with New York.
Mike Babcock is going to make players want to leave.
I hope I’m proven wrong.
