So this happened today! First leg of my journey is complete! Feeling pretty good so far! #CancerCanSuckIt #TigerVibes @ThomasWLanier @TigersPHSC

Sunday morning update on the odds the #CBJ make it based on their final point total. Cool resource from a website called WhoToCheerFor.com. I made a quick chart so you can see the dramatic shift over the last five days... seemingly NO ONE (except the Flyers and Caps, who had much more ground to make up) wants to finish third in the Metro. Isles + CBJ losing streak is now at a combined ten games. Sens 1-3-1, Red Wings only +1 over CBJ in last ten games. The on-ice product says the CBJ are done. The math tells a different story. 4-1-0 (or 3-0-2) finish puts them at 96 points and an 80%+ chance to make it. Win two of three on the road trip, come back home and win both, and see how the chips fall. Was the players only meeting Saturday night enough for this to realize their backs are against a wall?

@helenrey I had never seen a name for the negative ones. Are there any uses for those?

I absolutely guarantee that, despite it not being in any syllabus that any kiddo I've every taught has ever had, they will all remember the higher derivatives of acceleration.

@Macman12333 So this will help with our anxiety this team is causing! Yes please add me

@ItStartsWithA_J @BlueJacketsNHL Tickets have been claimed

@TigerPhysics @BlueJacketsNHL Won’t let me message you but I’d love the tickets if they’re still available!

I had 2 people drop out, and I have 2 tickets to the @BlueJacketsNHL looking for a home. If you're a CBJ fan, they are yours! Message me, and I can transfer the tickets. 5 pm game

@elmo @BlueJacketsNHL Maybe you and @elmo could make something happen for the NHL Playoffs. Does Elmo know about how much we love Elmo @NationwideArena

EVERYBODY! IT'S DANCE PARTY TIME! ❤️🪩😎🐶❤️

@REFLOG18 Check out CJ Beatty he has baseball and softball specific songs like Mr I Don’t Bunt

My son told me he has to pick his walk up music for this high school baseball season (I didn’t realize they still did this in HS😂) So…. give me your best suggestions for walk up songs. ⚾️

@mark_scheig What a deflating tweet! I bet you get Tired of missing games! And I shall Tread lightly here so you can focus on the hockey! Hopefully, the #PunsIntended brought a small smile to you

Programming note: For just the second time in the last two seasons, I will not be at Nationwide for a #CBJ game tonight. This image will tell you the story as to why. Happened on my way home from the morning skate. Should be back at them on Saturday.

@graeters Can I vote Chocolate? Cause it is always Chocolate!

Round 1

@Buccigross Done, loving having @MichaelArace1 back doing pods, I hope him and @Aportzline can collaborate more, they have definite @StatlerWaldorf vibes and we need more of that!

@Aportzline @AlisonL #AskPorty I would love to see a breakdown of how many more points magically appear in seasons with the loser point vs before the loser point. Also a breakdown of east vs west with the extra point, are east teams earning more OT's/ points this year

This week's Front & Nationwide, featuring the great @AlisonL of the #SeaKraken broadcast team, will be available Thursday AM on YouTube and wherever you listen to podcasts. Fire away with your questions using #AskPorty and we'll get to as many as possible.

@domluszczyszyn @DavidCBets Last night Bussi was giving up rebounds and pucks were going through him way too much... or as a Jackets fan I would say not enough, but it was remarkable how back he looked in net.

@DavidCBets i’m sure brandon bussi as the starter will hold up fine, nothing to worry about there

If your “model” thinks Tampa has 5x the chance to win the Cup as the Canes and 3x the chance to win the East, just scrap it all together

@JacketsInsider Seems like the effort level has risen and stayed at a higher level since Bones took over. Much more consistent effort night in and night out. They look dangerous and I am here for it!

#CBJ was just the 13th team in Carolina's 67 games this year to outshoot the Canes at 5-on-5. If last night was a test of how far the Jackets' forecheck and pressure have come, they passed with flying colors.

@JFreshHockey I was just wondering about this, the @BlueJacketsNHL seem more consistent game to game also. @Aportzline #AskPorty can you have @AlisonL talk about how the numbers have changed under Bones on the podcast?

Blue Jackets before and after Rick Bowness

@UnionAndBlue I figured the fight was cause the canes player only job is as a fighter/tough guy and needed it to prove he is worth playing

Not sure I like the timing of that fight. But, we know Mathieu Olivier isn't going to turn anyone down. #CBJ

@BlueJacketStats @Aportzline here ya go

The call on Adam Fantilli in overtime tonight. #CBJ

@RyanQualtrics Does it count if you only have seen them on the road? They unfortunately beat up on my Blue Jackets recently. Maybe we can get revenge when a silver trophy is on the line! I'll buy you Wario's if you visit Columbus for the match up!

Have a little room in our suite tonight. Who hasn’t seen the Mammoth play yet?

@Aportzline 2 periods?

#GoKingsGo lead 2-1 after one period. Feels like that Garland goal was important for the home club, who had a 17-7 shot advantage through two periods.
