I feel like management f***ed up more than Babcock, that was the worst hire of all time.

u chose violence this morningAt least people are talking about the Columbus Blue Jackets i guess . Normally that franchise just gets ignored because it hasn't done anything in their 25 years of existence.
I agree though 100% - CBJ is a loser franchise, dating back to not being able to build anything around Rick Nash. Gilbert Brule over Anze Kopitar. Filly don't do rebounds. The Jeff Carter incident. Now they trade for perennial losers like Patrik Laine and Johnny Gaudreau that can't play in real hockey markets.
The only non-loser in the franchise was Dan LaCosta (2 start, 2 wins). A true hero.

lmao - honestly Calgary is a strong hockey market. Watch a game on TV - like 95% of people in attendance are wearing jerseys. Hockey is alive and well across this beautiful country.Woahh take it easy there bud. I don’t want to have to come up to your shithole country and make you eat those words. And don’t ever call Calgary and Winnipeg real hockey markets again

Unfortunately the Gathering of the Loseros is happening again in Columbus. Tiny Johnny Hockej wasn't cut out for the canadian media landscape and got bullied out of town by Public Broadcasters to make 10 sheets in Ohio. They're on their like 3rd cycle of having a Top Prospect Pool in the NHL and in 5 years they'll restart the process again.
Idk man. CBJ have 1 playoff round win in over 20 years of being a franchise.Calgary hasn’t won shit since 89 or done anything noteworthy during the entire existence of the blue jackets. Winnipeg even more so. Truth is players who make big boy money have no desire to live in those shitty ass cities. Even Toronto took how long to get out of the 1st round? I know you’re a proud Canadian boy but it’s pretty astounding how long all the Canadian teams have been utter dog-shit with the disproportionate amount of support they have.

I think it's a mix of both taxes + off-ice distractions caused by the media that cause guys like Gaudreau/Tkachuk to leave.. but in Canada there's nothing to talk about in winter except for hockey. So even if your team is dogshit - and often ignored - like the Senators, there is no escaping fan/media scrutiny.

Espen Knutsen. He basically invented the safety netting.Idk the 2004 finals run was something and the pretty much the entire of Iggys career was during the Jackets existence and honestly the Jackets would kill to have an iconic player like Iggy . Who is even the player people most identify with the Blue Jackets ? Has to be Rick Nash right ? During Nashs tenure the Jackets made the playoff once and got swept

I can't believe Jarmo has been the CBJ GM for 10 years. What an atrocious tenure.
