I'd like to start out with a nice greeting that sums up my feelings about this franchise

6F233FC4-6563-48A3-8B5B-9BF0A44173AA.png


Nothing would make me happier this week than another f***ing drubbing of this IRRELEVANT, LOSER, DUMB f***ING FRANCHISE!

I'm surprised they don't have a f***in banner up in the rafters reading ''SWEPT PRESIDENTS TROPHY WINNERS IN THE FIRST ROUND OF THE PLAYOFFS: 2018-2019'' and another one reading ''SWEPT BEST REGULAR SEASON TEAM IN NHL HISTORY IN THE FIRST ROUND OF THE PLAYOFFS: 2018-2019'' and just for good measure because we know there's plenty of f***in room up there for another ''WON A PLAYOFF ROUND: 2018-2019''. And just to fill even more space they can also hang one up for ''SIGNED BIGGEST FREE AGENT ON THE MARKET: 2022-2023''. Because we know there's plenty of room up there, because they got nothing else meaningful up there other than Rick Nash's retired number. If they really wanna fill some more space they could even hang a ''ONLY TEAM TO EVER MISS THE PLAYOFFS WITH THE VEZINA WINNING GOALTENDER: 2012-2013''.

One of my favorite stories is the one about Jarmo's group chat texts to some of the players after signing Johnny Air Hockey, ''LET'S f***ING GO!'' even though he should have been saying ''LET'S f***ING GO TANK!''. Mr. Finnish Dean Lombardi (yes, this was something I read somebody post when Jarmo first came to the NHL), but it seems more like another recent cup winning GM from that time. More like the Finnish Peter Chiarelli.

And then you got stupid ass John Davidson, who was a better goaltender than he's been a management person. I can only imagine his awkward conversation with the owner when they signed his first contract over there.

''Okay, I just want it in my contract that I can leave this job, but only if the Rangers call me up and give me this position when Glen Sather retires. You see, New York is a very special place to me. I love New York, that's why we love bringing in so many of their former players and former head coach. I secretly love the New York Rangers so much. I was so happy to see them in the finals in 2014, even though I was working here. I was just happy that our pathetic joke franchise made the playoffs that year for the first time ever that year. Just put that in my contract, will ya?''.

I'd also love to hear the conversation that brought him back to Columbus after his two short, miserable and pathetic years as the Rangers president of hockey ops. ''SUUUREEEEEEE you can come back here. We better ink you up, because there's 30 other teams that will wanna hire you ASAP now that you're free again! But we just have one question for you. Do you still want an out clause for the Rangers in case they decide they also wanna take you back down the road, just like our stupid ass joke organization is doing?''.

I used to make the joke that they would run out of gunpowder for the cannon every time we played there, because of how many goals they scored on us when we would come in there. Do you know I found out last week while watching their game against the Leafs, from the Leafs broadcast that the actual sound of the cannon going off isn't even real? It's played over the speakers to go off when they shoot the cannon LOL.

This is probably the most controversial post I've made in a very long time. This will really ruin the day of probably a couple of lurking Blow Jackets fans. So I fully expect this to be the scene soon enough, so I better go hide in my bunker

Ah, yes, Elvis, the king of softies MerzLEAKins. One of my absolute favorites.

Featuring hot little numbers like ''YOU AIN'T NOTHING BUT A SOFT GOAL.... GETTING BY ME ALL THE TIME!''

Or his greatest dud ''Lord almighty, I feel my save percentage de-rising. help me I'm flaming, I must be eight sixty nine'' and how does the chorus go to that one?

''I'm just a chunk, a chunk of bad goals, I'm just a chunk, a chunk of bad goals''.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Is de-rising a word? It's now one of my favorites.

I saw a man last night at the gas station that looked like an Elvis impersonator. Hopefully that's not a bad omen for tonight.

It was really random, as I was going to the gas station, but there was only one girl working there and she apparently locked the door when she went to the bathroom because there was nobody else working.

So I stood outside for like 5-6 minutes, wearing a Devils hoodie, as it was chilly last night.

The Elvis impersonator looking guy walks up and I'm kind of staring at him because he is the most Elvis impersonator looking guy, who probably wasn't actually an Elvis impersonator, but he has the hair cut, dyed jet black hair and long sideburns and glasses. Guy had to be in his 60's easy.

So he was staring me down as he walked by, I thought maybe he caught me staring him down. He says in a very low tone as he goes for the locked door ''Devils'' which told me he's maybe a hockey fan (not really a Devils fan) or maybe he's from up north like me. I was already committed to telling him the door is locked cause apparently she's in the bathroom. He walks back to his gas pump and so did I. I left after that and went to another place down the road to get my gas. It was a wise choice on my part, as the other joint is much cleaner, has the drinks I like on sale and it's much newer and the girl that rang me up was cuter and much friendlier and cheerier than some of the people usually are at the other place.

I was kind of trying to get to a place I like to eat at sometimes on Monday nights. I wanted to get there well before 9:00 when it closes (made it at 7:45) so I had no time to stand at the other place. Or I would have asked the Elvis impersonator looking guy if he was indeed a hockey fan, because I do enjoy talking to hockey fans, as there's not many of them here.

Not even a full page in and we have a few classic Bleed rants in here already. In for a good night folks!
I gotta admit, that's gonna get me some negative press around here.

I don't really communicate with too many Jackets fans and I'm sure most of them are good people, but I've really started to take my hatred for that team personally over the last 10 years.

This might get me some DM's from Jackets fans though.

The only time I ever got a DM from a fan of another team on here that was only DM'ing me because he was mad at something I posted was actually sometime around July 4th of 2012.

A fan of the Wild quoted one of my posts saying ''Zach Parise will NOT SIGN WITH THE WILD!'' and sent back something like 'HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! THANKS FOR THE LOLZ I REALLY NEEDED IT!'.

I didn't respond back to it because I don't want a pissing match, that was kind of juvenile to me, so I didn't engage, but I just said to myself ''Pardon me for thinking Zach wouldn't sign with a perennial loser that hasn't won a playoff series in any year other than 2003''. Which I believe is true, though they've since won a couple rounds, but I think they were a one and done every time they made the playoffs before he got there, with the exception of the conference finals run and getting Giguere'd in 2003.

Anyway, I'm sure fans that don't know my posting history that read that are probably just gonna think ''Ah, just a Devils fan that's probably bitter over missing out on Johnny to us last summer''.

Because they called last minute.
Which is such a "load of crap" reason, imo.

I think his wife had more to do with him going there than anything else.

Once he was not able to get his wish to go to Philly, his wife probably said "NJ? Ewww! Let's go Columbus, honey."

Gaudreau (in a monotone voice) : "Yes, dear."
