Couldn’t possibly have anything to do with rolling Ryan Reaves out there for several additional shifts per game. Nah.

That pregame is hopefully one thing that stays in Vegas.

The Jackets have more than taken hold in Ohio, despite their awfulness for most of their years. The biggest reason is youth hockey. It has grown exponentially because of the Blue Jackets and has exploded in the Columbus area. Neither Cleveland or Cincy can expand from a youth hockey perspective the way that Cbus has…

Uh, no.

My phone is acting up, was trying to respond to another poster saying Cleveland would be a good NHL city... sorry, landed in the wrong spot.

Uh no

Fools. All they needed to do was pay the league a half-billion dollars and they would’ve been to who knows how many Cup finals by now.

Blue Jackets fans everywhere sighed in relief when this story broke. Finally, news that will supplant the narrative of how dumb Columbus was for leaving Wild Bill Karlsson exposed in the expansion draft.

He was clearly misdiagnosed. His PIMs went up from 14 to 48 in one season. For someone who was such an ideal host, this was a troubling sign.

My grill looks like that every time I cook hamburgers. Not sure why this is newsworthy.

Enjoy.

So close. Off by one game.

I bet Benzema has video of this boner on his phone.

I am a fan of any Penguins opponent and have been so for many years. Caps in 5.

Going to be completely different this year. They beat the Blue Jackets to advance. Everyone knows the Road to the Cup goes through Columbus. Just ask the Penguins.

Do me a favor and wear that Ovie jersey when the Caps take down the effing Penguins in round 2. I’ll be wearing my Breadman/Ovie shirt in a show of solidarity, comrade.

Thank God I was trapped in Nationwide Arena for over 4 hours last night with their crappy WiFi and therefore could not watch CNBC.

He will have plenty of time to rest, recover and cross off all the games on next year’s schedule that involve a certain team from Columbus.

I thought the Mexicans were all here to take our jabs.

Will check back with you when the series is wrapped up. Never burn a jersey: people might think you are from Cleveland.
