And the Bolts eliminate the President Trophy Winner. Team that beats the Blue Jackets makes it to the Cup?? It looks to continue for another year

I am rooting for them. I think this is kind of a cool thing that the team that knocks us out always makes the finals.
If Kucherov wasn't on their team I'd be more inclined to root for them as well.

I'm the opposite....the team that kicks my team out, I want to see get DESTROYED.
Someone might have already posted this, but go to the 9:20 mark of the video and then to 12:20 for some Blue Jacket memories.

In most cases I would agree, but now that we have this streak going with the Pens, Capitals, and Bruins, I think it would be cool for it to continue with the Lightning.
Plus I am hoping for more NBC games. Having the Lightning make the finals makes them more attractive to NBC and due to our recent playoff history, maybe a
Lightning - CBJ game gets on national tv.

I know you’re saying it tongue-in-cheek (and I’m not sure it applies to previous years), but I do think CBJ-BOS was the de facto ECF last year.
The only way the CBJ are getting on NBCSN is if we play Pittsburgh or Tampa. (sigh)

Are the Euro leagues starting on time? I'm fine with our players playing meaningful games as long as they're able to come back when training camp starts in November or whenever.
Their leagues are starting now, yes.
I honestly wouldn't mind if players like Bemstrom went and stayed over there for the whole regular season. As long as he's getting 18+ minutes it's good for him. I just want him reserved for our playoffs in case we need him in the lineup then.

I wouldn't be opposed to Elvis actually playing some over there before the season. Practice isn't a bad idea.
Bemstrom should perhaps spend the whole year over there.

I heard alot of players contacted teams in Europe to join them but with an NHL out clause. Also Jarmo wanted certain players going to Europe so they can keep developing/not have them doing nothing until training camp. Let's just hope noone gets injured.
Posted this in the prospect thread but I'll post it here as well. From The Athletic from a couple of weeks ago.
If general manager Jarmo Kekäläinen gets his wish, several Blue Jackets players will be back playing hockey again as soon as next month — but not in Columbus and not for the Blue Jackets.
Before the Blue Jackets even left the bubble in Toronto, Kekäläinen began having conversations with players in which he urged them to consider starting the 2020-21 season overseas and not wait for the NHL’s tentative December start.
He expects to speak with several more players about it this week when he and his staff continue their player exit interviews, he told The Athletic.
“We’re going to look into all of that with our prospects and roster players,” Kekäläinen said. “If you don’t play … we had some guys that didn’t get into the lineup (in Toronto), so they haven’t played since March 12.
“Let’s say we start in December. That’s nine months. You cannot take nine months off from hockey, I don’t care what you do off the ice for training or on the ice for training. You have to play games where you can be in a competitive environment and improve and play games and develop the right way.”

I wonder if CBJ lets Grigorenko start the season in Russia otherwise he’d be without hockey for 8 months

There’s a number of Russian players loaned to KHL already, they might be two way contracts though
