I just wanted to share this:

My sister (who's not really a hockey fan) believes Robert Kron is the greatest all-time CBJ player because on the radio broadcasts there was a reoccurring tag used with George Matthews exclaiming, "Robert Kron in overtime!!!!" that was played multiple times during each game. That kept being used years after he was with the team. She kept hearing that when the games were on in the background and thought Robert Kron won many, many games in overtime.

She still says Kron is her favorite player.

Damn it!!! I was just going to say Robert Kron as a joke and now you have ruined it!

Tyler Wright!

I was at a game years ago and Tyler Wright did one of the funniest things I have seen at a game. It was a shift change, Shelley and Peter Worrell were jawing at each other as Shelley was coming on and Worrell going off. Worrell was gliding to the bench looking back over his shoulder at Shelley. Wright jumps off of the bench to come on, skates right for Worrell, who was like 8ft tall, puts his stick right in front of Worrell's skate. Worrell didn't go down but he lost some serious cool points. Serious troll material. Loved it.

Gotta be the goalies, especially the starters:
Bobrovsky
Mason
LeClaire
Denis
Tugnutt

Honorable mention to the backups, such as C-Mac, Garon, Korpi, Conklin, etc.

Heres a video for reference:

Why do I not remember Martin Prusek? I thought I remembered every CBJ player but that one escaped me.

Prusek reminded me of Hasek, both in the way he played and his helmet.

Here's a list of every goalie to ever play for the CBJ:
Columbus Blue Jackets goaltending history

Any other of those names surprise you?

David LeNeveu but I see he only played one game.
Tomas Popperle. Doesnt ring a bell. I'm sure he was the savior at one point.
I remember everyone else.

It's amazing how few goalies have played for the Jackets. Then you remove all of the guys that have played less than a season of 82 games and you are left with Tugnutt, Denis, LeClaire, Mason, McElhinney and Bob. Only 6 guys in almost 20 years have played more than a full season worth of games.
