Interesting Info: Part XV (All Jackets-related "tidbits" in here)

[3074326]

there's so many other places to get delicious food in Columbus though

I know. I live here. I'm talking about when I go to the game.. And eat in the arena. Should've specified. Usually I'll get Ted's or Gordon Biersch before games.

I usually don't like chili, which I'm sure is why I like Skyline. It's like fake chili. Mostly cheese, which is always good.

 

[TaketheCannoli]

Skyline sucks and if you like it you probably suck too!!!!!!!!1!! *chat homage*

Well I agree with you and Pete. Skyline sucks and I'm sure it's not really food.

I kinda knew her exaggeration was intended, EK, but I don't use emoticons and have no idea how to add such hidden messages, so perhaps my response sounded more sincere than I hoped it might!

fixed it for you.

Hmmm, you may just have taken my position a little bit too far!

Pete, I think there is a subliminal message in white to confuse old guys like us. As you can see in the quote it says " chat homage". Dang youngins.

Clearly, the franchise is in a much different state now. The fan base is, too. It was beaten down by hockey for so long. Now it is lifted up by the promise of the Blue Jackets' future.

"Perhaps the All-Star Game was motivation," Bettman joked.

Bettman is nuts... The reason the Blue Jackets are what they are today is based on a change in management and the trading of Rick Nash... period..

I think Bettman was kidding.

So, when it reads "Bettman joked," it actually means he was kidding? You are right! Not sure how that could have been misconstrued by anyone.

....and we are back.

A humorectomy. My grandpappy died from one of those. And Mimi was never the same. Pappy's humor was what held her together when the sawmill went under.

Actually, I attribute it to ownership finally being engaged. That started it all.

I can't disagree.... that letter to the public from Mac Jr. 3 years ago supports that comment.

I would have laughed if Bettman had mentioned the real reason for the change but instead he made a joke of it all.... As most CEO's do when faced with adversity.

If you are referring to me, Hi Derby..... If not please tell me who is back?

I am not sure if you are right, but I totally get that train of thought. As a Sharks fan from way back, when they lost to the Leafs back in QF back in their miracle year, I am convinced that if Garpanlov hadn't hit the post and the Sharks won game 6 and that series, they would have beat the Canucks in the conference finals and given the Rangers and Messier a huge battle.

That team did EVERYTHING right, even though they weren't very good, to be honest. They had 5 awesome players, and 3 lines of grit and Irbe being incredible. Just needed one play.

…and I was sure the Jackets were going to beat the Rangers.

Although im also of the opinion that the canucks beating san jose isnt a sure thing. Dont forget in those playsoffs, irbe was playing with a broken foot, and ozo with a broken wrist(The thought is thats why he didnt take his shot in that game 6 vs TO, and why he had no goals that playoffs). So those 2 injuries were deff weighing them down a bit. So who knows how much longer they could have kept going before they deteriorated even more...

Larionov was the best player those playoffs before they got knocked out though so assuming he kept up that level, and makarov who had started to cool down a bit from the detroit series got hot again anything is possible.

Stay out of the infield!

Speaking of that, everyone here should visit the Louisville Slugger Factory and Museum.... The only place on the planet that makes ML bats.... You can even play first base with Ruth at bat!!!

Why would somebody wear a mid-00's Buffalo jersey to a Detroit-Columbus game?

Why would somebody wear a mid-00's Buffalo jersey to a Detroit-Columbus game?

"Casual" hockey fan ... drives me nuts. Sometimes, here in Spokane, WA, of all places, I'll catch a jersey like that, usually being worn by someone who drinks way too much beer, pretends to know what they are talking about, and shouts obscenities to impress their friends.

...wait, that isn't you in the Sabres jersey, is it?

I'd be more embarrassed to wear the mid-00's Jackets jersey than the mid-00's Sabres jersey. That cbj thing is hideous.
