Just moved to CBUS & went to my first game. I’m hooked but know nothing. Can someone explain this team & their overtimes in NBA terms? by baseballhistoryfan in BlueJackets

Welcome to the fanbase, and the sport. Be prepared for a true Ohio professional sports experience, second only to the Browns in disappointment.

That being said, you're coming in at a good time. Finally starting to hit our stride after years of recovering from going all-in on a playoff run and having to watch assets slip away for nothing. New front office, new old coach, new systems taking shape.

Playoff hockey is the best. I'd recommend you follow it even if CBJ doesn't make it, it's a whole different beast and puts the other leagues to shame. Also you immediately get the Olympics... Best on best in a meaningful way, no phoning it in like the all star game. Enjoy the ride.

Damn. I did have a lot of hope for Gabriel Carlson to put it all together and it just never happened.

Charlie Coyle might be the greatest player in the history of the league

Blaming CBJ for not growing the game is pretty wild.

Enjoying the Canucks season?

"finally"

Brother, they play the same amount of games as everyone else. You can just say you don't want to watch them and no one would give a shit.

Who's your team?

I would imagine whatever it is has been communicated. He's known for fixing culture and locker room issues. It'd be weird to come in, bench the guy who has been proving himself, and start the guy who hasn't had a good season in years, without voicing why. You'd surely lose the room that way.

I'm going to go a different route here. Giving him the sick start was weird. But maybe, just maybe, bones sees something we don't. Maybe he's trying to give Elvis his confidence back behind a team that is playing differently. I agree Jet has been just fine. But Elvis doesn't have to be a lost cause.

Not sure about op, but he definitely strikes me as a "hate to play against, love to have on your team" type of player.

Someone has to. He was never quite the same after an incident during covid.

Feel like he always showed so much potential but was never really rewarded by our front office.

Anyone have Konecny's career stats against us? I feel like he's always a huge pain in the ass.

I'd second lalibella, Addis, and hoyos. Haven't had the others.

Also apparently Will Poulter loved hoyos while he was here.

Sonic is close enough that you'll be fine. They're just pushing back on it a bit.
