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