Listening to a podcast about the blue jackets and I cannot believe that there are people out there that claim to be fans of this team and can go on a podcast and talk about a player being in the player assistance program and refer to him being out “because he was contemplating a
To close out a very difficult weekend, I just wanted to share some of my thoughts about the events that took place. When I finished working on Thursday night and looked at my phone and I had texts about Johnny Gaudreau rumors I didn’t think there was any way they were real. I
@DylanMckneely
This one isn’t about the jackets. This is about the fact that someone who claims to be a fan of this team literally made a suicide joke about a player getting help. That’s beyond F’d up

I did notice that you were the only one that didnt laugh at it and I am sorry I didnt point that out in the first place. A Remington is a firearm brand so a Remington retirement is a reference to a suicide
As the priest just said, he will honor John and Matthew by being a better friend and a better brother and I think that is something that all of us should do. One of the reporters asked me last week how we could honor these 2 and that is exactly what I said, just be a good person
@MichaelRyanRuiz
Probably won’t see this but from myself and all of the other plankton that were following the ship around..thank you. From the bottom of my heart. You guys have seriously become a second family to me and many others. Enjoy your time off, rest up, and don’t hit the stocks too hard
This is a very gentle yet stern reminder that these guys aren’t super heros. Give them their space. Let them grieve the way they want to. Don’t take pics of them if you see them at the memorial, don’t go ask them for a pic. Don’t try to comfort them. If they want to talk, they

Anyone supporting This “trucker convoy” in Columbus right now, I have 2 things to say. 1) do you even know what you are “protesting” and 2) it’s all fun and games until an ambulance or fire truck needs to get thru.
@PatrikLaine29
Patty, as the person who posted this, im sorry that you had to see it. I hope that you know that the 5th line doesnt share these guys sentiments. I know that the rest of the blue jacket faithful join me in saying that we hope you are doing well and we cant wait to see you back
I’m sorry but what Pazzy did tonight is terrible. Talk to Elvis behind closed doors, he’ll. Even in the locker room with the rest of the team in there and CHEW HIS ASS OUT BUT DO NOT CALL HIM OUT IN THE PRESSER. Good luck getting guys to play for you after that one.
So according to his statement, continuing as the head coach would cause too much of a distraction. meaning as far as I can see, no wrong doing just tired of the bullshit. I stand by my statement of "Fuck Biz"
Why is no one talking about the fact that all of 71, 70, 315 in downtown is closed because a guy in a snowplow is armed with a knife and a pickaxe rammed cars and is now on an “elevated platform” throwing tools at cops?!

This is the level of anger and frustration that I want to see from someone with a letter on their chest. Patty snapped his stick last night, Elvis snapped his stick last night. Until the vets get pissed nothing is going to change. They dont hate to lose....

100% what the HELL are we doing?! A politician said that this is a "fact of life" but it's not. It's a fact of AMERICAN life. Nowhere else in the WORLD do they have these kinds of issues. I have friends that are teachers and it scares me to death when I get alerts about things
STRONGLY disagree with this. Not only is Columbus a hockey town it’s a sports town. Dead last and still sold out the arena last year. 1000+ at pins for the draft party. Huge turnout for dev camp and tuesday, chiller was packed for the cap city game.

! The arena was so loud after introducing your name that I couldn’t even hear my next announcement! I’m excited
The fact that people are blaming this goal on 44 just goes to show you that it's always a witch hunt with this fanbase. sometimes in sports. things just dont go your way and this was one of those times. Guddy was literally just trying to clear the puck and had a great attempt at
@imaraindancer
I love the phrasing "purge style game". I think that each goalie should be allowed one "oops" per game where they can do something and just say "oops" and the ref isnt allowed to call anything
Johnny Gaudreau explains why he’s picking up Laine’s commitment to donate $1,000 a point for the rest of the season to promote men’s mental health awareness and support in Columbus.
Got the idea over break, not because “an idiot comes out and says some terrible things.”

If an Elvis trade does materialize, I highly doubt we will see Jet up here this season. Theres no need to carry 3 goalies in that situation. We would end up rolling with Tarry as our 1 and Martin 2.

I just don’t get why as a “fan” of a team you constantly bad mouth them and create fake media accounts to put out fake stories that make your team look bad. Makes no sense

Erik Gudbranson returns to the lineup after his one-game suspension. Told there’s been talk of a standing ovation tonight when he takes the ice, he joked:
“I might get a bobblehead out of this.”
@JacketsDebrief
Speak for yourself chief. This was the opposite of embarrassing. What would have been embarrassing is letting cousins get away with a dirty hit like that with only 2 minutes in the box
@TheNasher61
I think Babcock thought it would be in the team’s best interests if he resigned now instead of dragging this investigation and media attention into the season.
THIS is what sports is about. Great job 5th line! I love being a part of this group and I know that we are better than a few comments!

After a podcast made a negative comment about Patrik Laine’s mental health, fans have donated over $10,000 to a fund Laine set up to benefit men’s mental health initiatives.
@UnionAndBlue
He is absolutely wrong! There are 2 correct responses when asked about this situation at that time: "no comment" and "I havent had a chance to talk to Elvis so I dont want to comment until I do" That is it. nothing more nothing less. You have to have your players back publicly.
If you’re looking for something to do today head over to Buckeye Field at Ohio State!
