Columbus Blue Jackets (Official Thread)

Sorry about that folks. Battery on the trimmer was dead, so no pruning was done last night. Not looking good for tonight either. Hopefully I can get it taken care of before Thursday's game.

The idea of getting rid of Hitch seems silly. Unless you can upgrade, I'd say firing Hitch is not a desired result here.

I was drunk when I made that post.

But I don't see why it seems silly. Some sort of change is needed. What.. I don't know. The Jackets are playing the worst hockey in the NHL and they have the talent to make the playoffs. I have a hard time believing they all just got really bad over the course of an off-season.

Since Novemver 21, they've lost 21 games and won 3. Don't know of many coaches who are going to survive that.

Well this is probably very much appreciated by Kris Russell.

"When your best defenseman is Kris Russell tonight, you're not going to win a lot of hockey games," Hitchcock said.

Game No. 44 (Puck-rakers)

im not the biggest fan of russell, but thats saying alot about the team right now...especially about hitch if hes willing to come out and bash the team like that....i give him 10 days

 

[3074326]

It does say a lot about the team, but it was after a game where Russell scored a goal and had an assist. Then he insults him like that, in public. No wonder they look like they don't want to play.

Russell shouldn't be out of the AHL right now.

So what's that say about Commode??

From what I've seen, Russell hasn't looked that bad lately.

Keep in mind that I haven't watched all their games. I hate watching teams that don't give a shit.

Tell me about it.

IT's one thing to be struggling because every all-star on the roster except Lidstrom and Datsyuk is out injuried, Columbus has been relatively spared of the injury bug so far.

I don't get it either.

I say that a day after buying tickets to the game on the 18th. And I have tickets to the game on the 28th.

 

[NUTS4theBUCKS28]

i give hitch10 days at the most before his office is cleared out.
does anybody else agree with me that deuces is the biggest pussy right now?

Fresh beard = 1-0.

Colt McCoy and UT should be pissed at me, though. Poor bastards.

That's just good policy.

Edmonton could be the only team in the NHL that is actually playing worse than the Blue Jackets. Calgary (tonight's game) should be a better test.

thats true, although the jackets didnt look to hot last night either. a couple of mistakes and breakdowns could have cost us the game, but luckily we were playing the only team worse than us in the west.

i still dont understand why hitch is still going with this win and youre in policy. neither goalie is exactly giving us a chance to win, and it seems like when mase and garon are playing everyother game (cuz they cant win), it throws off the entire team. he needs to stick with one or the other, or maybe even call up lacosta? thats just my opinion

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Absolutely.

Don't piss in my cheerios.
