Hail to the Hyphenator. I've enjoyed what little I've seen of him and have high hopes for what he can do with the job.

Portzline's third annual talk with Torts. It's, uh, pretty good.

‘Pissed off’ John Tortorella weighs in on departed...

I posted some in other threads. I had to be careful though.

I got you, its appreciated.

Its just nice to have actual relevant info from/regarding the team.

Better than all the he said/she said and baseless claims and predictions from us fans.

I'm honestly not sure I'd want any different 1-2 punch than the no nonsense/honesty we get from Torts/Jarmo.

I liked this part of the interview about Texier:

"But every minute he played in the playoffs, I’m sittin’ there peeing my pants. Not only for that moment right there, but just watching what he can be in the future of his career. To get him playoff minutes so early on is just … he’s all business. I watch that. I watch him come off the ice. I watched him during the rookie camp, just sitting on the bench during the (development camp) scrimmage. I watched him and that Bemstrom kid, just their body language. Tex is a very serious kid, and I think a student of the game. Who knows where he ends up? But it’s exciting."

We need to offer Torts some Depends every time Tex scores.

BrewDog introduces beer with Columbus Blue Jackets theme — and you can help name it

This is cool. I'm partial to Cannon Blast.

Likewise. "Puck Bite" and "Trash Talk" are far too generic to actually match a theme, so the real decision ought to be between "Cannon Blast" and "Jacket Required", and IMO that's hardly a contest at all.

Shawsy is running the PP, keeping it simple.

Bemstroms nickname is officially "Bemmer"


The team really wants to be here and grow together to stay competitive. And they need to keep their arrogance/swagger that the team has built up from past few previous seasons

I've never heard of Puck Bite as a hockey term. Trash Talk isn't hockey specific and Jacket Required sounds like an anti-Phil Collins album.

I'm not sure who came up with the names as the possible choices but its clear they don't follow hockey.

I honestly think the brewery wants “Cannon Blast” but with the ruse/buzz of an online vote, so they chose... “not great” alternative options.

Five-hole

Cannon Blast is cool because it's CBJ specific.

Was interested in Rimer’s appearance on SiriusXM today in saying the starting D pairings look to be:
Jones-Murray
Werenski-Savard
Nuti-Harrington

....Jones and Z split with Harrington over Kukan.

And Lilja in over Milano

Meanwhile, in other news, we have confirmation that if it weren't for the concussion issues, Nash would have indeed gotten his "last hurrah" here:
Rick Nash and the Blue Jackets "Had a Deal Done" For Him To Return to Columbus Before Concussion Issues

My “like” was for the news rather than the fact Sonny again returns to his all too familiar 13th forward.

I like splitting them because it allows each Jones and Z to act as rovers for two separate shifts while having a solid defender to cover until they get back

Harrington over Kukan and Gavrikov? Yeesh. Harry is certainly better than he was a couple years ago, but he's still pretty awful. I don't expect this to last very long at all.
