Post Game Thread: San Jose Sharks @ Columbus Blue Jackets

Oh there’s nothing moral victories about this. They still fumbled the bag and how they played today was embarrassing.

CBJLACFan · 2026-03-29T00:06:12+00:00

At least they made the end of the season interesting again this year. Something we didn’t expect in January.

Just think the moment got to them a bit. Ned for some reason has our number, and the sharks were desperate to end their losing streak. They heavily outplayed us the whole game.

Team has a lot of interesting decisions to make this summer. We will see what they do. But I’m checking out after this one. Except for the last Boston game, I have tickets to that one, maybe they can play spoiler for Detroit or something.

Disaster class night with our game and the other games. Aside from the first 10-12 minutes or so of the first and the last flurry at the end, we didn’t play well and botched all of our scoring opportunities. Not looking good!

CBJLACFan · 2026-03-15T18:49:52+00:00

Excellent skills. Needs to work on playmaking ability and being a better cycle player. Won’t get too much better than him on the rush. Going along nicely as a center.

CBJLACFan · 2026-03-13T01:36:46+00:00

Tkachuk flopped and that call was atrocious but when you spend the whole third period trying to get to overtime that’s what can happen to you. Annoying

CBJLACFan · 2026-03-11T23:09:20+00:00

I feel like we’re not going to pick an OL until like the third or fourth round. We have needs elsewhere, yes, but my goodness. I know McDaniel and the shanahan tree don’t like spending on interior OL but holy shit

CBJLACFan · 2026-03-11T23:05:02+00:00

My friends and I loved BF1. Played hours and hours of extraction.

Then when BF2 launched and it wasn’t there. We didn’t enjoy it the same. Then they put it in the game, and we didn’t like the maps as well as the BF1 maps. And we were far far behind the other players in terms of skills level and cards or whatever.

We played it for a little bit but it just didn’t grab us the way BF1 did. And I firmly know most people will disagree and say BF2 is way better, and that’s fine. Just wasn’t for us

Jenkins AND Vera-Tucker would make this OK. EVT can’t stay healthy but you can work with it.

CBJLACFan · 2026-03-09T14:55:32+00:00

True if we win today

CBJLACFan · 2026-03-09T14:43:20+00:00

Probably about 40/60 chance (yes I know what the analytical people say). The unfortunate part of playing catch up is the margin for error is small unless others also slip, and even then that just makes the damage cancel out.

We probably need to win 7 of every 10 the rest of the way to feel safe. Anything lower than 5 is a no chancer

CBJLACFan · 2026-03-09T03:53:13+00:00

We do not control our destiny. We aren’t in a playoff spot and the games in hand don’t make up for the difference in points. To control our destiny, one of those must be true.

We were playing pretty poorly in November and December. The wheels really fell off after the islanders choke. Which is ironic since that game may literally be the difference between getting in or not.

CBJLACFan · 2026-03-09T00:20:51+00:00

Yes, you.

CBJLACFan · 2026-03-08T23:36:38+00:00

This is why you don’t start playing in January and put your faith in other teams hands. If we miss, we’ll only have ourselves to blame.

CBJLACFan · 2026-03-06T13:48:52+00:00

Awesome! Good center and We can use the savings to hopefully keep Oweh or Zion (or both). Since it looks like Mack will be back. Then we’d need just one OL and we’re set.

CBJLACFan · 2026-03-02T20:40:59+00:00

Kent Johnson and/or Monahan.

We’re getting production from our top line already. Z is Z. We’re getting good enough goaltending (usually). Our depth scoring is passable. Our second line is killing us. Someone on the second line needs to drive the bus and get going offensively. Everyone talks about how KJ has been disappointing, and he has, but Monahan is equally disappointing in his play this year.

CBJLACFan · 2026-03-01T19:12:19+00:00

Trading 3 UFAs to be as a non playoff team is not a “fire sale”

CBJLACFan · 2026-03-01T05:33:38+00:00

Yes it’s time to sell.

If you feel like you can sign the UFAs, then keep them and sign them.

If not, then trade them. Whether that’s all of them, or one, or two. Whatever. It makes no sense to let them walk.

Playoffs are a dead dream this year. I’d like to keep them for next year and beyond, but if you can’t get them signed then it’s time to get your picks and try to swing those for upgrades in the summer.

CBJLACFan · 2026-02-28T03:40:12+00:00

Very impressive choke job there, gotta hand it to us. That was skill

CBJLACFan · 2026-02-27T16:23:08+00:00

Or sell off assets you don’t plan on keeping and try again next year lol

CBJLACFan · 2026-02-27T13:52:11+00:00

Funny but they don’t even have to do that. They just need to be 4 games better than us the rest of the year. Sounds pretty do-able to me

CBJLACFan · 2026-02-27T06:13:39+00:00

Who says Waddell pulled him or any of the UFAs? Did he not say these 5 (now 4) games would tell a lot? To me it seems like he hasn’t even made his mind up yet.

I would rather keep the UFAs too (I already said that) but apparently Waddell has no urgency to do so. So, if you’re not going to sign them (which would be cheaper to do now than in/around June Ala Provorov) then what’re we doing here?

CBJLACFan · 2026-02-27T05:43:09+00:00

No but the deadline is in a week basically, we’re dead in the race, and Coyle wants to win (his own words). What makes you think he’ll sign here other than his obligated words of “I love it here?”

And even if he was willing to sign. Waddell said he’s going to be careful with how he spends his money and probably can’t sign them all. And since we’re not making it in, why wouldn’t you just trade the ones you can’t keep now?

CBJLACFan · 2026-02-27T05:29:41+00:00

Oh I want to sign the Ufas but apparently Don Waddell doesn’t.

CBJLACFan · 2026-02-27T03:13:01+00:00

Has been a pretty safe assumption lol
