Hi everyone,I was on a podcast last night where a joke was make that I didn't know what it meant. Therefore, I didn't laugh. Today, I was told that a "Remington Retirement" was a suicide joke. Moving forward I will no longer be on the
@BnB_RoundTable
. Suicide is not a joke.

Its a tough pill to swallow knowing that after spending decades of my life trying to lead with kindness of love that I will forever be linked with such a gross and ugly moment.

Gord Miller did not go after Barstool. He was doing a Q and A on twitter when someone asked him when he will go on Spittin Chiclets.
He responded "I like those guys a lot, but anything to do with Barstool is a no-go for me."
Then the Barstool fan tweets came 😳

Almost 11 years ago, my childhood best friend and platonic soulmate stuck a gun to his chest and died by suicide.
Joking about things like these is not ok. And it never will be ok.
Ever.

I'm all for goalies causing crime.
Goalies are sweet, quirky, slightly psychotic angel babies who are allowed to have a purge-style game..... or three.... a season.
Air Canada has entered a partnership with the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL).

If you can't hold people accountable in a timely manner when they sexually assault your prospects, you don't deserve to have a 1st rnd draft pick for a few years.
I said what I said & will not be taking any questions, comments, or concerns at this time
Here are the three most common fanbases picked as most annoying for each fanbase.
The most common combinations were:
Habs fans disliking Leafs fans
Canucks fans disliking Leafs fans
Rangers fans disliking Devils fans
Kyle Beach does not need to apologize to the kid from Michigan who was sexually assaulted by Brad Aldrich.
Aldrich needs to apologize.
Stan Bowman needs to apologize.
Joel Quenneville needs to apologize.
John McDonough needs to apologize.
A lot of people need to apologize.

Upon finding out, I let them know that I will never be returning as a recurring guest or guest in general on the podcast.
I remember going down to Nationwide Arena to interview the fans who were sleeping over to buy playoff tickets.
Maybe 20 minutes later,
@CamAtkinson13
showed up & bought them tickets.
It was the first time anyone took me seriously as a journalist. I'll never forget that night
This is the second time Kevin Cheveldayoff has been involved in something and still got to keep his job.
First thing that came to light was how he tried to bury Akim Aliu in the ECHL
And then the cover up of Kyle Beach's sexual assault came to light.
@rwesthead
I really hope you had a compassionate conversation with this person or led them to resources that will help them understand.
There are a lot of people struggling to wrap their mind around the fact that physical strength doesn't always mean you hold the most power.
@PatrikLaine29
No, it's not. I'm so sorry Patrik. I didn't know or understand what the joke was. So I didnt laugh nor did I respond to what was said. Its not a funny joke and never will be.
The Jackets have a very good shot at the wild card this season with a team full of Monsters and injured players. Yet, there are people out there spitting doom and gloom while wanting to fire Torts and trade Z.
Wild. Just Wild.

If you have access to the Staal Brothers, Reimer, & Provorov, never stop asking specifics of how wearing a Pride Jersey goes against Christian beliefs.
You don't get to shout "Christian Beliefs" & not explain them. If it means that much to you, it shouldn't be hard to explain
Too many people are focusing on the LTIR part and not enough are focusing on the "never heard from anybody in the organization for the rest of the year" part

burner, please delete it and never use it again.
10 years ago the burners used to be funny.
Now they're just mean and filled with so much hate.
Three things can be true at the same time ;
- the refs haven't been doing a good job of policing crime on the ice and stuff like this wouldn't happen if they had made the right calls
- Nick Cousins hit was bad, bad, bad
- Erik Gudbranson went too far with his retaliation
Kent Johnson is a center.
He thrives there.
He excels there.
He looks so happy in that position.
Playing him at wing seems like a mismanagement of his development when he has the potential to be an elite center.
Had to say goodbye to my sweet angel today.
As you can see, she loved Christmas trees and is the reason why mine is still up in the house.
Lady Gretchen Whaley Elizabeth the third was the best thing in my life for almost 18 years.
She will be greatly missed 💔

Or are you just anti women's hockey
According to
@CapFriendly
, on the first day of free agency, there were 190 signings totaling 399 contract years. The total contract dollars for the day was $1, 214, 238, 500.00
That's a wild and crazy first day of NHL free agency!
Ryan MacInnis was called up because:
- he's fantastic on faceoffs
- fundamentals are not a struggle for him
- he can be defensive without taking penalties
- orchestrating plays is something he excels at
- he is still rolling at a high level of play

Yes, successful AHL teams are important to their organization.
My question is why did two succesful AHL teams, Charlotte Checkers & Chicago Wolves, end their relationship with the Carolina Hurricanes during Don Waddell's time as General Manager and President of Carolina?
#cbj
Don speaks again highly of the AHL, and he highlights the importance of having a successful team there and playoff games are highly valuable for development.
#CBJ
The Chicago Wolves/Carolina Hurricanes are smart to pick up pieces at AHL trade deadline to replace the players that will probably get called up for the Canes playoff run.
10/10 good organizational management here.

You won't.
Torts may have been a bit of a hot head but for the most part he genuinely cared about the well being of his players.
Babcock had an extended laundry list of incidences at each team he was a coach for.
Remove “Mike Babcock” and insert “John Tortorella” and you’ll see the same comments made when Torts was announced as the HC of the

The worst part about THE Ohio State being on Peacock today is my local grocery story was packed during the game and half of them were watching on their phones.

I'm literally begging anyone who has access to Pascal Vincent to never stop asking why this keeps happening when the team isn't in contention for anything but the first pick in the draft.
#CBJ
Pascal Vincent has shortened his bench so far in the third period. No shifts for Trey Fix-Wolansky and Carson Meyer yet in the third, and Mikael Pyyhtiä just got his first shift in the period.
Update on my dad.
Please continue to pray for my dad and our family.
I will not be responding to messages, texts, or calls at this time.
Love all of you so much and appreciate your support. I'm just tired and scared and need to sleep or cry or both.
Speculation around the Memorial Cup is Mike Babcock will return to the NHL as
@BlueJacketsNHL
new coach and the delay in announcing coincides with his existing contract with the Maple Leafs expiring the end of this month.
The most beautiful thing I've seen in weeks is
@MarcPDumont
telling Habs fans how much he appreciates and loves them.
Plus, he's responding back to the fans and conversing with them.
It's beautiful
I love it
More people should be like Marc
I'm not saying the Jackets should try Emil Bemstrom, Adam Fantilli, and Kent Johnson on the first line.
I'm also not not saying it.
BECAUSE I'M YELLING IT!
PUT BEMSTROM, FANTILLI, AND JOHNSON ON THE FIRST LINE. SEE WHERE LIFE TAKES YOU.
YOLO!
#cbj
I know how to do my job as a sports journalist
BUT
My writing went to the next level when fans of the Monsters and CBJ pushing me to ask certain questions or questions they wanted to know the answers.
Sifting through written memories Cleveland Monsters fans have sent me and the general consensus is Matiss Kivlenieks (
@bertiss35
) absolutely adored children and made every fan feel special.
Kivlenieks often remembered details of the first time he met each fan too.
Hi,
If you're going to talk about how good the Monsters are right now, feel free to direct people towards the people who are consistently covering the team.
Thanks!!
Despite covering Matiss Kivlenieks for four seasons, I struggled to find the proper words to describe who he was as a player & a person.
So, I turned to the

fans in hopes of doing

any sort of justice.

Many CBJ fans need to take a break from twitter.
Once the draft is over, just log out of your accounts, go touch some grass, play in the sand, and breathe in some fresh air.
BREAKING NEWS:
Cleveland Monsters Head Coach Trent Vogelhuber has been named the North Division Head Coach for the 2024 AHL All-Star Game.

#CBJ
If I'm the commissioner, I make the decision for everyone and postpone the Buffalo Bills - Cincinnati Bengals game.
Don't make the teams make that decision.
The amount of money I would pay to have Cleveland Monsters head coach Trent Vogelhuber and assistant coach Mike Haviland mic'd up when the refs told them Roman Ahcan had to leave the ice due to not being on the lineup card is astronomical.

#CBJ
If you have a player that needs to "get past his demons" , maybe you should focus on getting them help and even have them step away from the team for a bit.
Because keeping him in the thick of a goalie battle and allowing him to be heavily in the public eye isn't helping anyone.

he’s talked with Elvis’ agent & thinks things are “calmed down”. Says Elvis must “get past his demons.” JD says Elvis has not asked for trade & team not shopping him.
Since the Outdoor Classic, I've lost a little over 10 pounds and I love that this outfit shows it 😍
Turns out eating a proper amount of protein, drinking more water, resting when tired, and having more dance parties works for me 😁😎
The Cleveland Monsters led the league in attendance for the fourth time in the last five seasons by drawing 10,347 fans per game to Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, the highest average attendance by an AHL team in 25 years.

Online dating in Northeast Ohio is me beating my head against the wall because a guy told me he is obsessed with Cleveland sports but has no clue that the Monsters exist.
