Dubinsky left practice early on hearing the news of the Torts hire - He was not happy.

He was just practicing the gatorade shower he will give torts after they win their first game

All kidding aside I actually think this is a good move. Oh sure eventually it will end horribly but that may be a couple years away.

Friday, February Fifth (oooh, alliteration night) Flames at Jackets - Also known as the Don't Push Me game.

Hmmm, C-Bus is about a 5 hour drive from here. Sounds like a good one to attend.

5 hours you say? Maybe Torts will move in to your town

Just in time for a few decent coaches to be available and then unavailable like a few summers ago when Lavy, Trotz, etc were all changing jobs. Sutter might be nearing an end in LA, it's rumo(u)red

*THEN* we get Keenan.

Everyone of worth will have been traded by then, and whoever isn't traded will be broken from blocking shots or quivering balls of emotional goo.

You're certainly not going to have much competition for tickets.

People are FURIOUS.

I've tried to adopt the Jackets as a 2nd choice to my Wings after I moved down here...except of course when they're playing the Wings.

Torts? No.....just no. This will set the team back years after awhile, IMHO. Frankly, I've been surprised Junior hasn't tried to sell or move the team. I don't believe his heart is in bleeding $$$, that his father didn't mind doing.

With the Arena deal, they aren't bleeding money anymore. They are actually moderately profitable.

When the team is gutted in a year and a half and the arena is empty again.... yeah.

OK @dash , you got me. The Bus is in Calgary that night. A leetle more than a 5 hour drive for me.

Jan 21 is the magic date in Ohio. Heh heh heh.

Wow, there ARE a lot of seats available.

Oops. god damn it, the team I root for blows chunks this season and now I can't even read a schedule correctly.

When wasn't the arena empty? CBJ averaged 15,511 (85%) last season and that was their highest attendance since 2006-07.

43- I'm sorry about what's been going on in Columbus. Terrible start to the year and firing Richards was probabl the right move. That being said......things just got a whole lot more interesting in the Metro Division.

 

[DevilishWon]

Aside from seeing my friend 43 in such horrendous pain this is funny as hell

 

[KennyBanyeah]

For me this is...




Meanwhile 43 is...



Although more likely he is...

So who will become the next Blue Jackets head coach?

Dunno. How many second round picks do they have? (sarcasm intended. This is fun when its not your team. For a change.)

Holy shit did Torts get fired ALREADY?!?!

 

[dash]

So who will become the next Blue Jackets head coach?

Urban Meyer

So who will become the next Blue Jackets head coach?

And where will the team be?

I mean if fans are furious, people are going to stop wearing merchandise, and the arena will be half empty because fans disagree with a coaching decision - how long will the team be safe there?

The owners could have hired a no name cheap coach but made a move (and spent some cash) to hire an established coach in an effort to turn things around. Some franchises would not have made the same effort.
