Any ideas what the Blue Jackets are goin to do with is money? See article, do the Blie Jackets really want Reimer?

I wouldn’t think so. They already have Merzlikins and Korpisalo as well as a young Finnish goalie. I think they have the depth they need.

So....after reading the translation of Bob's interview, dude was a full tilt diva all year and it's probably a miracle they were in any position to think about the playoffs. Since he held a full NTC, he had all the power and acted like a petulant brat (hence the suspension).

Good luck Florida. the moment he realizes the defense in front of him sucks he'll check out mentally.

Excellent news and a very reasonable bridge contract for Z. The 3 means that he will still be an RFA when it expires.

2022 is going to be fun with Z and Jones both coming up for renewal at the same time.

According to this site: https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/bluejackets
The Jackets are $8.675M under the salary cap. Why didn't they sign a couple good FAs?

It's his job if he can hang onto to it. No pressure. Nice save here.

Joonas Korpisalo makes a great save and the Columbus fans look like they're asleep.

Bob's debut went well

CBJ with the clap back at the 3 departures.

These guys are bad

They sure as fuck tried to lose this one, but a great defensive play from Foligno and a feed to step nets the winner!

Buffalo came in red hot after smoking the Devils and Pens.....

This team looks like one of those teams that might struggle in October and November but rip off 15 in a row when they are well out of the playoffs. This franchise has done that at least 2 times in the past decade too.

For those that are curious, Bob has a 4.77 GAA and an awful .859% save percentage right now. We're within a week or so of either a quasi-phantom groin injury or a full mental checkout.

That was a sick goal.
