Comedy CowPies in the 'Lumbus

So, Portzline is in post season form. While he was blithering on about Visa issues and saying that Gavrikov couldn't play, Vlad is with the team in Boston.

Torts announced no changes to the lineup from Game 4 against Tampa. Gavrikov is eligible, just scratched. Nuti is day to day and getting extra time to heal.

Between Portz and Jeff Rimer I wonder what we did as a fanbase to deserve them

Ahh, man. I like Rims

Ahh, man. I like Rims

I like him too, but it's really time for him to retire.

For those that don't know who that is, that is Finnish Racing legend Kimi Raikkonen. The oldest and funniest dude in Formula 1. He is apparently all aboard the CBJ Bandwagon. Has been my favorite driver for a while, and is now even more favorite.

Some of his highlights:

The brutal honesty of the Columbus Blue Jackets

I hope someone writes a Player's Tribune article about whatever was said in the room after the Edmonton game.

Blue Jackets sign Tarasov to entry level contract

Another promising young Russian Goalie in the fold starting next year.

Bob grew up idolizing this kid's dad. Daniil then grew up idolizing Bob. Should be around 2 years off a starting job here depending on what happens with Elvis.

Dotting I's and crossing T's from an injury point of view:

Fuck Kucherov

Murr might have made it back if we got to the finals.

Reminder:

Rest up, Quaider. And you are welcome back. We will definitely see Shaw again.

Murray's a big defensive piece, but every year his back fucks with him.

Isn't this the first time he's had back issues?

He dislocated a shoulder and popped a groin before. I don't remember a back problem.

I thought last year was back?

That's how it has to be... We're not big market. We can't overpay people to play here. Not that we should go the Bengals route and be cheapskates, but we need to find the people who want to play here, and pay them.

Following up on that:

"Nobody Knows". Uh, I would wager that Artemi Knows. Although the feeling from some reporters was that Artemi felt there was some unfinished business. He was last off the ice, and he hung out for an hour outside the lot taking pictures and signing autographs. So maybe "Nobody Knows" is appropriate.

Bob's comments:
“We went through some good times, some tough times,” the goalie said. “We’ve been together seven years, so that’s a long time. So it was special.


"I'm definitely thankful for everything I had here. I won my two Vezinas here. Right now we talk after losing in the second round against a very good team. When I just came onto the team we were just pushing, we were happy if we just made playoffs. Fans were with us all the way. I think the hockey is growing here in Columbus. It is fun to watch and it was fun to be part of."

Lot of past tense there. He gone.


Duchene on the other hand...

 

[gob]

Definitely obvious Bob is gone. I'd be surprised to see Panarin stay, but I'll be happy if he does.

Sorry, guys, for the outcome. I was hoping the juveniles would go back to their basements, but not for a while yet.

Thanks, Dare.

Jackets didn't do themselves any favors. 6 more points and we started where the Caps did. This playoffs comes out a lot different if that happens. Sad to likely see Bob and Bread's last Blue Jackets games, but feel good about where the team is going.

Matt Duchene: Staying in Columbus 'would be a great thing' - Sportsnet.ca

I wholeheartedly agree Matt.

Oh, and like Tavares and his Leaf bedsheets:

Yeah, that is Matt Duchene. And yeah, that is an old school Blue Jackets hat.

His Uncle was a development coach with the club it's first season through 2004.
