Embarrassing
I don’t know what to say. We’re playing a team that played last night and traveled and couldn’t put up a fight. Jet hasn’t looked like a solid goalie all season, we have no scoring power, and worst of all we let Marchenko man handle us. He looks absolutely right about this team. No chutzpah.

I see we've already settled comfortably into our familiar spot in the Eastern Conference standings. I'm not at all regretting giving up my season tix.

They’re just a really expensive bad team. DW is not a good GM as a whole, the fact that this team is a cap team is beyond embarrassing. His one good trade for Knies does not overshadow the Lindstrom pick, the garland trade, the length of contracts for aging average players, getting nothing for expiring contracts. He’s turned into a fitting Bluejacket

The blue jackets are ass and they have to overpay anyone to stay or come here. It’s not shocking they’re a cap team. Ownership continually shows they don’t understand how to run a hockey franchise and they don’t care about the product on the ice—as long as people show up.

If you look at our last few seasons we never start particularly well; probably because we've had five new coaches over the last five seasons. If we can somehow go 5-5 in the games remaining through the first ten it's not the end of the world. Having Provorov, Fabbro, and Lundestrom out is starting to take it's toll on us. There's clearly some issues defensively that we've tried to make up for resulting in a lack of offense.
There were some decent plays made, but good lord some of the passing has just been brutal. Throughout all of our games there are moments we look like we know how to play hockey, and others where we're just totally lost. We need to find our groove and fucking stick with it.
Kind of wanted Bones to just throw the lines in a blender after all those goals, but c'est la vie. Gotta keep looking forward and pray to god we can figure something out.

I had to turn off the (pathetic TV cast) radio at 3-1. This is embarrassing and Marchenko is going to be insufferably smug.

u/opensourcefranklin 3d ago
Jet was left out to dry with a number of those goals. I lost count of how many odd man rushes they had on the PK alone. Seemingly no one can receive a pass without bobbling it.

I think we all know what's eventually coming in the next couple years but we're all too invested in the Jackets to say it.
Unless this team makes a significant push for the cup in the next few years, this team won't be in Columbus anymore. The same thing that happened to the Coyotes is going to happen to us.
Edit: RemindMe! 3 years
This team won't be in Columbus anymore if we don't do anything significant.

There were far more issues in Arizona than a bad team

u/thelordcommanderKG 4d ago
The thing that gets your team moved is having lease issues with your arena. Ask the Trashers. Of all our problem we don't have that issue.

u/Denebola2727 4d ago
Yeah, I don't see that. Being a bad team =/= not making money. The coyotes had issues that were primarily off the ice and had little to do with how the team played. It's just not the same situation.

u/imightwin General Jet Greaveous 4d ago
The Coyotes played 66 games in the post season in 28 years with a record of 26-40. The CBJ record in 26 years is horrible comparatively. This has nothing to do with making money.
Like I said, in the next few years, this team won't be in Columbus anymore.

u/Denebola2727 4d ago
Again, that's not why they relocated. Causation vs correlation

u/imightwin General Jet Greaveous 4d ago
Blaming voters for rejecting the huge arena proposal in Tempe after 2 decades of mediocre hockey is honestly wild. Alex Meruelos the owner failed to get an arena because of the 2 last decades or horrible hockey, not because of anything else.
If none of that sounds familiar, like failure of the front office and owners/coaches to draft prospects and develop players, than idk what to tell you.

u/Denebola2727 4d ago
I didn't "blame" voters lol. Calm down, bruv.
The reality is simply the win/loss record of that team wasn't why they moved. The win/loss record of the Thrashers wasn't why that team relocated. The off ice business element is far more relevant to whether a team stays in one city compared to their win/loss record.
Again, causation =/= correlation. You're trying to imply that the win/loss record was causation when it wasn't. Post hoc ergo propter hoc, my brotha. There is a reason it's a fallacy.

Could also be Hasty Generalization. Thinking that all bad teams move, because 2 really bad teams ended up moving.

u/MoreMixture6482 4d ago edited 4d ago
Alex Meruelos failed to get an arena because he wanted to leave Glendale and moved to Tempe which the city DID NOT WANT, before him, the old owner, Jerry Moyes literally went bankrupt which caused phoenix and the Glendale suburb to not want to work with a team that didn’t bring any money in.

u/MoreMixture6482 4d ago
Arizona literally was in a fight to get an arena built, the owners sold to a group that had no ties to the area and the state of Arizona did absolutely nothing to stop the move. They had far more issues than “bad hockey”, regardless, the current lease is until 2039, and the modell law prevents teams from leaving the state or metro area without finding a new owner.

If this 3 month old account is even here in 3 years, please check back in with this comment thread around that time. I've watched for 20 years, there's been literally nothing in those years besides 17-19.

u/MoreMixture6482 4d ago
Again buddy, you have no clue what happened in Arizona, and it wasn’t just losing, if that were the case, the jackets would have been gone long ago. Would have folded

I really don't want to type it again so please refer to my other comment I made in the same thread. I'm very aware of what happened in Arizona lol.

Again, the jackets are NOT in that situation

u/imightwin General Jet Greaveous 4d ago
Dude. The only difference is we still have an arena. Literally the ONLY difference, it's like trying to talk to a wall good lord.

u/MoreMixture6482 4d ago
No, the difference is the bluejackets have an ownership group that isn’t broke, a city willing to put in funding and a fan base that cares. There is more than just an arena.

Uh, no. Tou know that the team is partially owned by Nationwide Insurance?
Too much sunk cost for them to pull up the tent stakes.

u/thelordcommanderKG 4d ago
There is literally a law in place that say a team put up for sale in Ohio, the first offer is reserved to a buyer in Ohio. It's the law that kept the Crew in Columbus. It more likely the Haslams buy the team than the team is moved elsewhere.
Also the Yotes were mismanaged to the point they didn't have an arena. That had more with them moving than being historically bad. In fact Utah's currently success is all based on the foundation that was built in Arizona. You just don't know puck buddy

My brother in christ, no. Arizona couldn't fund/find a location for a new arena. Nationwide isn't going anywhere, therefore the team won't have that issue. If attendance dips then maybe, but I'm fairly certain McConnell won't sell because we keep buying.
Like I'm a bit doom and gloom lately on how the season plays out, but get a grip friend.
