Comedy CowPies in the 'Lumbus

[forty_three]

Apparently has had a solid pre-season with NJ. Solid depth guy. Probably still need one or two more, though. Classic Jackets injury woes in full swing

Brindley - Broken finger
Voronkov - High hit, left ice clearly in pain only word is "longer term".
Jenner - lost an edge in practice, shoulder first into boards. Going on IR
Chinakhov - Stick to face in practice, no word. rumored to be a broken jaw.
Jack Johnson - perfectly healthy

Blue Jackets loan D Denton Mateychuk to AHL Cleveland | Columbus Blue Jackets

Columbus’ roster now stands at 28 players, including 18 forwards, eight defensemen and two goaltenders

Kid is ready clearly. I can't help but notice the similarities to Werenski. I sincerely hope he doesn't waste away down in the A while Provorov and Johnson block his path. I legitimately don't know if AHL is going to help him. Jiricek needed some time down there and is improving. Christiansen benefited from it as well. But Mateychuk?

Seravelli has decided to barf out his season predictions.

Fuck Seravelli

Thanks for that heart warming sentiment, Frank.

He has now edited it to "With help form Johnny Gaudreau in heaven".

That's not really any better.

Jackets finished the mural on the outside of Nationwide. Same Johnny pic from last season, with updates.

will they retire his number?

will they retire his number?

They haven't said, but I would expect they will. Even if "unofficially" like Matiss Kivlenieks. Not officially retired but they said they will never allow any other player to wear it after Elvis did for that one game.

Johnny certainly would have had his number retired here if he played as long as we all hoped, so I don't see any reason not to. Just wonder if they are talking with Calgary to do it when we play them.

Was thinking he'd be the one.

Wonder if it was Donnie Dubs or Torts that called and reamed him. Maybe both?

Frank rarely apologizes, so I have to think he received some pretty harsh backlash from some prominent people in the hockey world.

Hope you have a good birthday, Mo. This time next year you will be able to legally drink!

As it turns out, it's party time in Colorado tonight. Fantilli will get cake and Fanta and Monahan will really let loose and have butter on his popcorn!

Enjoy being exiled in Laval, then.

Goal and two apples (one of which was ridiculous to China Cough) for Monotone.

Fantilli got a goal on his B day as well.

Also, slight change to the player of the game award:

Blue Jackets' replace post-win kepi with donkey hat, nod to Gaudreau

Wearing a donkey hat might not seem like a badge of honour to some, but for the Columbus Blue Jackets, it's exactly that and also a way to honour the memory of their teammate Johnny Gaudreau.
