Columbus Blue Jackets (Official Thread)

It's what Ohio pro sports teams do. Rebuild-suck-rebuild...repeat.

Browns- 1964
Bengals- Never (founded 1968)
Indians- 1948
Reds- 1990
Cavs- Never (founded 1970)
Blue Jackets- Never (founded 1997; started NHL in 2000*)
Columbus Crew- 2008*

Crew won the Cup in 2008, not '02. 2002 was the year they won the US Open Cup, which is essentially the FA Cup for the United States clubs in all 4 divisions. And CBJ didn't start playing in the NHL until 2001-2002 if I'm not mistaken.

Torts isn't the best coach but his style is what we need right now. Dubinsky was on that NYR team he coached, will be interesting to see the relationship between those two.

This team has talent and a good tender. A rebuild isn't what we need. A swift kick in the ass with a steel toe boot and some grit out on the ice is needed.

Between these losers and the Coyotes it looks to be another long NHL season. 0-7 is so fucking embarrassing. Not even the lowly Leafs, Oilers, or Sabers managed to suck this bad.

That's what I was thinking when I saw they announced he was going to be the coach. He could certainly provide the spark this team so desperately needs.

the blue jackets are missing two things and it won't matter who the coach is....

1. They are missing at least 2 NHL-level defensemen....what they have isn't good.

2. They need another playmaker. Last year Johansen and Foligno along with Hartnell fit the bill, but what they need is that set up guy (Datsyuk, Crysby, etc) and he doesn't have to be a super star, he just doesn't need to be a defensive liability (Brassard).....
