If he's been here that long, his expiration date has to be getting close, right?
"He's made huge strides," Blue Jackets development coach Chris Clark said. "When you're dealing with young athletes, the trajectory where they want to be - everybody thinks it's a straight line. 'I'll play this year here, next year there, and I'll be in the NHL at some point.' That happens with very, very few guys.
"There's always ups and downs, but to his credit this year, he's had some injuries, but he's made strides each year. He's been getting better and better."
Torts talking about his lineup with the media today
"I haven't had a chance to talk to the trainers because I was rushing to get out here
and talk to you guys"
You gotta love the guy
No you don't. He's a d-bag and we wont amount to a hill of beans until he is gone.
tell me 1 coach in the organization's 20 year history who's done better
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Well yeah, he was the first rookie to score more than 17 goals (Nash). Doesn't take anything away from the accomplishment however. PLD is the f***ing man.Heard this interesting info on NHL Net this morning:
Dubois became the FIRST CBJ player to score 20+ goals in his first two seasons.
Brian Boucher mentioned he had a short stop in Columbus during his career.
and short it was, 3 games. Played in 2 of them with 1 win (06-07)
one of many players I have forgotten, maybe intentionally play for CBJ
.....okay.......so this is the tidbits thread.
Old Guy looks at standings: "Hey Washington and the Islanders are ahead of us"
Old Guy looks at the schedule this week: Tuesday- Washington, Thursday - Islanders, both at home.
Old Guy says to self; "Wow.....this is an important week". " I hope we cream those punks".
Interesting. I never would have guessed that. I'm afraid, however, that the Jackets are similar to the Blues & Rangers of the recent past, among others I can't recall off the top of my head, who were very good teams but could never put it all together to win a Cup.
And minus B&B I think the future is uncertain.
No, but they're helpful in determining whether or not that "realization" is of an actual phenomenon or if it's just selection and confirmation bias. And in this case, it not only shows that it's a real thing, it helps show some of the important areas to work on.Honestly I’m looking at wins and losses more than the other gobbledygook
I appreciate what Alison does but you don’t need all of these graphs to realize we suck in the big home games.

Correct me if I am wrong, but Alex Texier could play in the playoffs this season for CBJ because he already signed an ELC no?
