Hard to tell around these parts sometimes. We also like to manufacture our own drama too.I was joking
The bad news: Murray’s back will need to be a daily priority — repeated exercise and stretches, proper moving and lifting techniques, etc. — for the rest of his life, not just for the rest of his playing career. At 26 years old, he has the back of a much older man.
The good news: Doctors don’t see any reason why Murray, if he keeps up with the daily exercises, shouldn’t be able to play regularly and sustain a long career.
Murray won’t be doing some of the same strenuous workouts as the rest of the Blue Jackets, but he’s spent the last two months doing daily workouts to build up his core muscles and to help relieve stress on the lower back area where the affected disk resides.
In the morning, when he’s just out of bed. In the afternoon, say, after practice. In his hotel room on the road. Each night before bed.
“It’s going to be constant. You have to keep up with your body,” Murray said. “It’s an everyday thing now, and you have to take care of it. For me, it’s thinking about the rest of my life, too, not just hockey.
“(The specialist) evaluated everything. The big thing is the daily exercises and stretches. Two a day at least, but you can always do more if you want. And it’s littlest things, too, like picking something up off the floor. Getting out of bed. Learning how to do things the perfect and proper way so you don’t hurt anything.”
Only Vegas has fewer home games remaining than Columbus, as the Blue Jackets begin an enormous swing through Western Canada. Fourteen of their final 15 are against teams in playoff position or legitimately still alive. But they’re gutting it out, currently in the East’s final post-season spot despite an injury list longer than your right leg. GM Jarmo Kekalainen said Cam Atkinson is the closest to return, although it won’t be on this trip. Kekalainen doesn’t feel his players get enough credit.
Seth Jones recovering, hopeful of helping Blue Jackets again this seasonAnything new about Jones? Its 3week after surgery, how is he?
Cant open. Security rules....
At best he'd be ready for game 1 in the playoffs.
Good, we have a lot of players needing new contracts. Jarmo isn't the type to go all out in FA, however it might be an opportunity that allows for the flexibility to position the team exactly how he wants it for the expansion draft.The Athletic recap confirms his back tightened up again after 2 games.
He has to be close to just calling it a day and just being concerned with how he'll live the rest of his life. If he reaches that point, the CBJ will have almost 11 million on IR next season and LOTS of money to spend.

For the record, I hate everything and everything is terrible.5. Murray back tightens
Defenseman Ryan Murray believed he’d found the answer to his chronic back pain, but he was out of the lineup again on Saturday. His return lasted just two games.
Murray’s back tightened near the end of Wednesday’s 3-2 loss in Calgary, The Athletic was told, so the decision was made to step back and reevaluate. It’s unclear if he’ll play on Sunday in Vancouver.
This is an incredibly frustrating situation for the Blue Jackets, especially for Murray himself. Since playing in all 82 games in 2015-16, Murray has missed 129 of the Blue Jackets’ 315 games (41 percent), not including all 10 playoff games last spring.
Murray’s play vs. Vancouver last Sunday in Columbus and vs. Calgary on Wednesday were reminders of how big a difference he makes when he’s in the lineup. He quickly moved up to the top pairing with Zach Werenski.
Dude needs to retire. Most injury prone player ever. Told you so. :’(
