Most of these thoughts have been expressed by others but wanted to get them down:
Overall, great season by the Jackets and a good step forward. It was an entertaining season and much better than some of the debacles we've had to sit through in the past.
Still hurts right now, though, as CBJ had a real chance to lift the Cup. Easy to say now, but I do feel Boston was the one team that was a tough match-up for the Jackets. Toronto would have been a much better opponent for the Jackets in the current build. Oh well, they were close but not close enough.
Bob, thank you for your service. It's been great watching you. I'd shake your hand if I could and wish you well. Go get paid now, but it's time for you and the CBJ to go your separate paths.
In March, I'd never believe we'd be saying how much we miss Riley Nash with him out.
Jarmo, thanks for going for it. I think it was worth it. Shoot your shot when you get a chance or this team is going to be in a perennial funk. I have faith you can work some magic for next year. Some of the prospects look good and I'm ready to see them take the next step.
Bread, it's been a slice but I am disappointed that it seems like the big city life is valued more by you than winning. Your life and career so your choice but you could have gone down as a legend here.
Dutchy - see you next year, I hope. Dzingel - sorry, it's not to be, go get paid somewhere else.
