@LO_BlueJackets Going to the shootout against the Flyers, I actually had complete faith in the group and told my buddy "there isn't a team in the league I'm scared of" at that moment.

next week we're going to be unpacking the cbj season as a whole, the good, the bad and the ugly (you know the drill) so i'm asking y'all: what was the brightest spot of the season for you? obviously it ended badly, but there were some good parts, so what was your favourite?

@FriedgeHNIC Bye bye Kent Johnson, I wonder what team he’ll be going to?
English
Rick Bowness and Don Waddell are meeting the media at 2ET
Expect am extension announcement for Bowness
He will return as head coach of the Blue Jackets

@PierreVLeBrun @Aportzline Bye bye Kent Johnson, I wonder what team he’ll be going to.

Further to @Aportzline here, hearing that Rick Bowness has agreed to an extension to stay on as HC of the Blue Jackets. Should be made official at 2 pm ET news conference.
Aaron Portzline@Aportzline
#CBJ will hold a season-ending press availability today for GM Don Waddell and coach Rick Bowness. Won’t be a surprise if a Bowness contract extension is announced before the gathering. Bowness has made it clear he wants to stay, and he wants to change the culture in Columbus.

@JacketsInsider Most important fight of the season for him to accept

#CBJ forward Mathieu Olivier meeting with the media right now. Said he fractured a bone in his hand during the fight vs. Boston, which is why he missed the end of the year. Said there was "definitely a willingness to get in there" had the last game been for a playoff spot.
English
Now that we’ve reached the end of the #CBJ season: No more of this Elmo shit. No more Fun Dip. PLEASE. The CBJ are supposed to be an NHL team, not an ECHL team. Act like it. Your neighbors in the Red Wings, Penguins, and Blackhawks do not behave like this.

@TheNasher61 One major thing that compounds the disappointment is how bad our draft picks look. Fantilli is the only one who looked halfway salvageable. We have very little to look forward to.
English
@TheNasher61 Meanwhile the Flyers who were 7th not long ago 😂
Sucks to see ur jackets fall off. Fun group with a lot of promise.

@Aportzline @Aportzline Any insight into the play of Marchenko recently? The eye test hasn’t been good…

@F1RETHECANNON If the players don't care, why should you?
English
There sure are an awful lot of #cbj fans giving up.
English
Based on these lines, Kent Johnson appears he will be a healthy scratch. #CBJ

@Aportzline How has his deployment with the Pens been different than his deployment with CBJ?

Former #CBJ Egor Chinakhov has been an offensive force since joining #LetsGoPens
Shayna@shaynagoldman_
How Doan + Chinakhov found that next gear with new teams this season to raise their future outlooks. What they bring to the Sabres and Penguins + the best/worst case scenarios for these two moving forward. nytimes.com/athletic/71660…

@Aportzline It’s moments like these that make me realize the franchise gets all the respect it deserves. To sit back and say it’s “disrespected” is a slight against franchises like the crew. 25 years of giving up when it gets tough.
English
History was made tonight in Raleigh.
#CBJ forwards had only two shots on goal in 5-1 loss to Carolina - one each by Jenner and Marchenko. The other 8 were by d'men.
Since the NHL started tracking SOGs in 1959-60, that's the fewest combined shots by forwards in a single game.
English
Since the moment this article was posted, it’s like #cbj purposely decided to prove it wrong. This team has no leadership, no superstars, no prospects, and no chance at a high pick.

@Aportzline honestly a 1OA pick wouldnt even help this team, especially with their drafting luck.
English
@F1RETHECANNON Boone needs to be a 4th line, dzone face off man playing 13-15min a night. That’s the role he played for the last month and cbj were able to reliably run 4 lines. Losing Oli and Voro changes things but don’t neuter both the 2nd and 4th lines by trying to send a message now
English
Jenner was NEVER coming out of the lineup guys. #CBJ
English
#CBJ lines appear to be
Marchment-Fantilli-Marchenko
Jenner-Monahan-Garland
Sillinger-Coyle-Heinen
Johnson-Lundestrom-Wood
Extra: Del Bel Belluz

@BR_OpenIce honestly don't understand why any play against the blue jackets is a highlight. theyre not playing NHL level hockey.

PAVEL ZACHA TIES IT WITH 11 SECONDS TO SEND IT TO OVERTIME 😱🚨
HE HAS 13 GOALS IN HIS LAST 13 GAMES 🔥

@Aportzline Ready for the 0-0-0, -2, >19:00toi master class from Boone Jenner

#CBJ Jet Greaves starts tonight vs. #NHLBruins. Fs Miles Wood and Danton Heinen back into lineup for Dmitri Voronkov and Kent Johnson, while Egor Zamula draws in for Jake Christiansen.
Voronkov (hand) blocked a shot in Saturday’s loss and is considered week to week, Bowness said.
