I’ll admit he’s looked more active and driving play the last couple of games… but woof.

Why doesn’t the media ask Don about this? Plenty of head scratching moves that he doesn’t have to answer any questions about.

John, if you see this buddy, you might be wondering what happened to the new Blue Jackets hat you bought Sunday morning. After what I could count was your 6th or 7th Jamo and coke, you gave it to my daughter.

I’ve sat next to a lot of people at a lot of games. Thanks for making it a memorable one for us, I’ll always be able to remind my daughter of you and she’ll know exactly who I’m talking about. It was an overly priced hat to you, but is now a memory for my daughter. Thanks for being special. Hope your “mate” got you home safe! Go Jackets!

The Randomizer has spoken. Today’s selection is Kevin Stenlund.

A 2nd round pick by the Blue Jackets in 2015, Kevin Stenlund saw some meaningful games during the COVID seasons, including one goal in the 2020 playoffs. In the 2022 offseason he signed as a free agent with Winnipeg. Currently, he plays for the Utah Mammoth.

Bobby Mac is taking your questions on the Clear Breakaway YouTube Channel!

So, I screwed up, my wife, who is a huge fan of the peanuts, came to the game with me on Saturday. I thought the bobble heads were the giveaway for the night only to find that you had to purchase them in advance or get them as part of a package…

She was pretty bummed out.

Unfortunately, as a season ticket holder, I didn’t realize that these were the only options and therefore I didn’t secure one. If anyone has an extra and is willing to sell it, please send me a direct message.

Thank you!

Didn’t get to watch, so these are courtesy of u/trumps_tossed_salad!!
Random man in jail is bangoura of the crew, who got a red card!! Eeeek!!

PROS:

Fantilli scored.

We scored on the power play

Knies passes the eye test; a shame he wasn't on the score sheet.

KJ is him this year. Good lord, so excited for him.

Fantilli/Nichuskin line looks good.

Cam looked excellent.

Only ONE penalty.

CONS:

26 years of dump-and-chase hockey.

Carson Soucy, I am sure, is a nice guy, but I cannot wait for him to be replaced by Fabbro.

Under any circumstance, it would have been a beautiful goal. But, given how badly the Columbus Blue Jackets needed a win — not to mention a power-play goal — the goal that ended Saturday’s game carried a certain amount of heft.

Adam Fantilli’s blistered one-timer from the right circle 59 seconds into overtime sent the Blue Jackets to a 2-1 win over the Vegas Golden Knights before 16,451 in Nationwide Arena.

The arena erupted when Fantilli scored his third goal of the season and the third overtime goal of his career, but amid the jubilation there was also a sense of relief.

The Blue Jackets needed this win after dropping four of their previous five games. And they needed a power-play goal after going — gulp! — 0-for-22 with the man-advantage since the season-opening win versus the Buffalo Sabres.

First before anyone comes for me in the comments, this is only like a quarter serious. My daughter and I are both aware that these players owe us nothing and have much more important things to think about before games. But...

I think Connor Garland may have beef with my child.

It started at the Maple Leafs game.My daughter made a sign asking Garland to trade a puck or stick for somw shark gummies, something I've been told are his favorite candy. Garland looked at my daughter several times but looked absolutely pissed each time. No big deal, a lot of the players look angry when they are on the ice. Outside of the looks, though, he ignored her. Also no big deal, because like I said, we know they ha e bigger things going on than fan interactions during warmup. Not every player is Charlie Coyle, who had already tossed over like 4 pucks at that point. We wrote the whole experience off as a "we'll get em next time".

Move forward to last night, we are in the Tunnel of Pride and my daughter is waiting against the barrier. The team comes out and everyone is giving out fist bumps and high fives, but when Garland got to my daughter, HE PUT HIS ARM DOWN. She has a video of him dapping the kid directly in front of her and then immediately moving his hand to his side. Now I will admit, we did not pay atrention to what he did with the person after her, but all in all, evidence is pointing to the fact that my kid may be in a feud with a professional hockey player.

I love a mystery, so I plan to have some fun getting to tbe bottom of this, but my working theory is that he has heard me yell "short king" a few times when he's gotten on the ice, but only noticed my daughter when he looked in the direction it came from (she has bright pink hair and kind of stands out among the usual hockey fan).

we miss you so much johnny.

One of the blades broke off after coming into contact with a parachute. Fell in the shoot twice zone and they took it over to the accessible section for repairs.

The Randomizer has spoken. Today’s selection is Frantisek Kucera.

A member of the 1998 Czech Republic gold-winning Olympic team, Frantisek Kucera returned to North America in 2000, signing with the Blue Jackets. Kucera played 48 games for the Blue Jackets in their inaugural 2000-2001 season, before being traded to Pittsburgh for a 5th round pick. He would later be part of Jaromir Jagr trade between Pittsburgh and Washington.

FINAL

Catch-up · From puck drop

A. Fantilli gave the Blue Jackets the final word in overtime.

11:51 into the first, D. Mateychuk lifted a backhand right in tight, and the Blue Jackets took a 1-0 lead. Late in the first period, T. Hertl got a snapper off in a hurry from the doorstep, and the score was level at 1-1. The second period passed without a goal. The third period stayed scoreless despite a 13-5 edge in shots for the Golden Knights.

59 seconds into overtime, A. Fantilli wound up and drove a slap shot from the circle on the power play, and the Blue Jackets closed out the game.

The Golden Knights produced a 10-4 edge in close-range shots on goal, but the Blue Jackets finished more of their chances. The Blue Jackets rang a shot off the iron. Talbot stopped 26 of 27.

Final: The Blue Jackets won 2-1 in overtime.

Can someone please explain why he was cannoneer tonight?

Just curious on everyone’s opinions, we know jet can be good. Do we think he’s in a weird slump right now? Obviously we’re missing our D core but the games jet has started has got out of hand, what’s the consensus here.

No longer shows the dispute message, has a picture showing the next game's start time!

Is it just me, or did NWA become 20° colder this year? Not ONLY do we get to sit through the most dreadful dump and chase game of all time AND the most questionable power plays during the MOST pivotal time of the game…. I also get to freeze while watching?

Does anyone else share this experience?

Also, give me more of that OT line during 5 on 5

First year STM, qtr season, we have been crew STM for 3-4 years and bought a season pass for front street garage. Wife is going to the crew game using that parking pass - I was looking at buying parking before the CBJ game tonight (I’ve done both, bought before, bought upon arrival) - but had the thought, has anyone ever bought parking before, showed up to a garage and then they run out of room? Do any of the garages ever run out of room? Any benefit to buying before? (I’ve parked at the garage right next to the crew and buying before I believe is like $5 cheaper - but front street looks like it’s the same price)
