Interesting Info: Part XX (Jackets-related "tidbits" here)

I wish HF had a crying emoji button like facebook cause i'd hit it 100 times after hearing this.

that's only 20! I said 100!

Bjorkstrand with more career goals than Wennberg now, 163 fewer games.

Will Andy hit 30?

And both Bjork and Wennberg have way more goals than Ryan Murray!

Why are we comparing a sniper with a playmaking center?

If Andy gets to 30, the CBJ might end up a 7 seed. He's certainly capable of it, and will probably be there at some point in his career. As long as he remembers the core of his game is speed and strength, he'll be ok - but if he starts believing he's a finesse player as he has for a few stretches, he won't.

Lol you’re the one doing the comparison between the players. Man you’re right about them scoring more than Murray, nothing gets past. You does it!? Many people love to assume on this board don’t they?

I found it interesting (that’s why I put it in THIS thread) that Bjorkstrand is out scoring Wennberg already because it feels as if Wennberg has been around for ages (and had some good years with Saad) and Bjorkstrand for so little (while many think he has another level go get to).


Also, Josh could hit 30 this year and we will still be WC2.

Sorry to see Bill leave. He was the only person on the broadcast team willing to criticize the team or players when deserved.

He will be missed, a lot due to this very reason. He was always fair.

Bill Davidge is retiring after this season.

Blue Jackets: Longtime broadcaster Bill Davidge to retire after this season

Hope he enjoys his retirement.

Meanwhile, I'm still getting through episodes of Hockey Depression by queueing up highlight videos from the Charlottetown Islanders (there's a certain speaker-breaking somebody we all remember who calls their home games).

NBC games this season:
• The Blue Jackets have been on NBC Sports three times this year: 0-3, with losses to Tampa Bay (5-1, Feb. 18), Pittsburgh (3-0, March 7) and Boston (Tuesday, 6-2). Aggregate: 14-3.

Jarmo Kekalainen had a suggestion at the GM meetings early last month. He proposed some form of qualifying offer scenario, where as long as the NHL team made a certain contract offer meeting requirements, that the college player would still see his rights owned by that NHL team even if he didn’t sign. That the club would at least have an asset and not lose the player to free agency.
The Jackets spent four years helping develop Mike Reilly only to lose him to free agency after he didn’t sign. I mean, most NHL clubs are in total agreement that the loophole needs fixing, but it’s a CBA matter. It’s not something GMs can simply vote on at their meetings. This is for the league and NHL Players’ Association to figure out. And really, why would the NHLPA give up the loophole? The players’ union should always be in favour of wanting as much flexibility/options as possible for their members. Unless of course, the multitude of NHLers with Canadian junior backgrounds would care enough to point out the discrepancy in the system.

I read on twitter that Brian Hedger did a bit of digging on it. That jacket was sold at retail so it is possible that someone bought and put the number on it for some reason but it was also from the 17-18 season so its quite possible it was donated since he would have been issued a new one this season.

But I thought having a non-traditional market on Prime time would be a ratings dog?

Who’s barking now!

Let's have the NHL keep underestimating the team, fans, and city. I like that postition. If we can keep our posters from losing their composure on the mains, that would be a wonderful thing, as well. How long (if ever) did it take us to live down the "Canada doesn't respect the CBJ...?"

Cool, under the radar, classy. That's my hopes.

I've been spending a lot of time in Cleveland for work.

Went out last night with a Cleveland friend who just passed the Ohio bar exam. All of the downtown bars we were in had all of their TV's set to the game.

Cleveland seems to have really latched on to the CBJ since the Monsters affiliation started. The same seems to have occurred with the Clippers and Indians here in Columbus.

Really bizarre and cryptic post. That this happened (whatever it is) at exactly 9:42 pm (when the game should have been ending) is odd. Anyone have any ideas?

Interesting that he was 6th in Liiga in scoring as a defenseman with 10 more points than Texier. Other than that I don't know anything about him.

Of course I search twitter for Kaski's name and all I see are Leafs fans begging that they sign him.

guy seems so genuine and likable.
