Do you listen to 97.1, 43? Rothman is a little cringy sometimes when he talks about CBJ/Torts.

I try to avoid 97.1 unless the Jackets games are on. I can only listen to grown men talk with near-suicidal anguish over college boy's groins before I start to get sick.

Haha... Well, obviously I like the OSU talk.

But the one host in the noon hour is a dog lover. So he's always defending Torts, and gets mad at fans when they criticize him.

I think at this point, Torts isn't even defending Torts. He's just hoping they get it sorted out and make the playoffs so he can go out on a high note.

But it doesn't seem he cares much if they do fire him.

Mikko Lehtonen has made it through the border and has joined the team in Columbus and traveled with them to Detroit. He will wear #43.

Mikko Lehtonen is going to be AWESOME


In addition, goalie Daniil Tarasov is expected to be in Columbus today after the team he was loaned to got bounced from the KHL playoffs. Expectation is he will spend a few days here and head to Cleveland to join the Monsters.

Yegor Chinacough has not signed a new KHL deal, so hopefully when his playoffs are over in the K, he will sign here and come over also.

1 goal in 15 games for Laine. How long until he’s asking for a trade here too?

Maybe the kid’s just got issues.

Something is going on, that's for sure. Torts likely isn't helping the kid much, but this downward trend in production is concerning.

Also, this tweet has not aged well and Lawless has since moved to Vegas (although it's a pretty good gig covering the Golden Knights).

Laine outpaced Matthews in points their first season and Jets fans were convinced they got the better player. Funny how that’s worked out since.

His centers have been Foligno, Nash and Kevin Fucking Stenlund. Almost every play, he is the one beings tasked with carrying the puck into the zone, usually from a position of covering for Michael Del Zotto who typically has just lost the puck behind the offensive net.

He works hard, but he should not be the guy digging pucks out of corners and hanging back to cover mildly retarded defensemen.

But Torts is happy, he's learning to be a "power forward". No coach has ever gotten less out of more.


They land an actual center, or actually give Domi a shot there (not one shift as Laine's center) and he could turn around. Plus ditching dump and chase.

If Torts stays, he should ask out. But then again, so should everyone but Del Fuckstick and Jenner.

Desperate to make it into the playoffs and so angry about losing yesterday to the second worst team in the league and a goalie who hasn't won since 2018, the Jackets came out and mustered up 15 shots on goal for the game.

Michael Del Zotto is still in the NHL? I hope they expand past Seattle so that guys who should have been gone 5 years ago can still find work. :L

Honestly, given how bad the team is Torts is probably going to get some credit here for keeping them anywhere near the playoffs.

Doubt they keep him but he’ll get another job soon enough.

Thank God DJ DelZ is out. He's been a disaster. Excited to see what Lehtonen does.
