Oh look, a guy named Jon Cooper proselytizing why it's a curse to coach the most talented team in its sport in 25 years. People shouldn't be surprised they got their ass kicked in Columbus; because expectations.

This fucking guy.

Cooped. FML. Who would have ever thought that the Jackets kicking the shit out of the Lightning would have me pissed off about '90s football. . .

The Tampa Bay Lightning's bizarre Twitter apology is only making things worse

I'm not a Tampa Bay Lightning fan, but I imagine if I were, I would be hurting pretty good this morning. On Tuesday night, the Bolts—the record-setting Lightning team who just tied the mark for the most regular season wins ever and tallied the fourth-highest point total in NHL history—were swept out of the first round of the NHL playoffs by the eight-seeded Columbus Blue Jackets. After taking a 3-0 lead in game one, the Lightning lost 4-3 and never led again THE ENTIRE SERIES. In Game Four, with their season, pride, and very own Bud Light on the line, they gave up seven goals. I'm not a Tampa Bay Lightning fan, but I imagine if I were, the last thing I would want to do right now is think about the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Apparently the Lightning social media team didn't get that memo, however, because 15 minutes after one of the worst postseason meltdowns in American sports, the Bolts Twitter account was already shoving a giant foam finger back down the throats of their fans, issuing a teary, jilted lovers' apology the likes of which certainly hockey—the ultimate f—k your feelings sport—has never seen. The intention was clearly to create some sense of camaraderie with their smarting fanbase, to let them know that this means as much to the capital-O Organization as it does them, but in a weird, sad, bizarre way, it only made things worse.

Gavrikov adds depth to Blue Jackets blue line

Russian defenseman excited to arrive in Columbus

Vladislav Gavrikov needed little introduction when he took to the ice Saturday at Nationwide Arena for the first time with the Columbus Blue Jackets.

First of all, he's an accomplished player in his own right, having won an Olympic gold medal in the 2018 Winter Games. Second of all, he's been a Blue Jacket since the team drafted him in the sixth round of the 2015 draft.

Plus, the native of Yaroslavl, Russia, knows his countrymen Sergei Bobrovsky and Artemi Panarin, so introductions certainly weren't necessary there.

"I don't care now (if I play right away)," said Gavrikov, who is also under contract for next season. "I need to work harder and harder every day, and we'll see what happens. I need to work more before I am going to play here. It's the next level for me."
