@Aportzline If bones comes back, do the #cbj try to get his successor on as an assistant or worry about the next coach when we cross that bridge. #askporty

Send me your #AskPorty questions for this week’s Front & Nationwide. I heard that building on Sunday. I know you’ve got lots on your mind. Fire away! We’ll get to as many as we can!

@domluszczyszyn @ReclinerSports4 I want to see that 1 model run where the rangers make the playoffs. Haha

@ReclinerSports4 this is probably going to be one of the most improbable seasons relative to pre-season projections on record. going to write that for 16 stats tomorrow, it’s pretty wild how off the conventional wisdom was from october

Projected 2025-26 NHL standings as of March 4

@mark_scheig Something had to change... but I'm not convinced the right replacement was selected unless the goal is to rank the season. His record coaching is abysmal.

Let's take the temperature of the fans. How are you feeling? What's your mood? Do you think #CBJ made the right move? Your turn to react.

@Aportzline His career record is nearly 100 games below .500. He's here to help the cbj tank right?

The Athletic: #CBJ fire coach Dean Evason, replace him with veteran NHL coach Rick Bowness Evason lasted barely 1 1/2 seasons behind the Blue Jackets' bench, but club was languishing in last place in the Eastern Conference despite playoff expectations nytimes.com/athletic/69643…

@Aportzline Yep, but I live out west. Go #cbj

Anybody staying up for this one? #CBJ vs. San Jose?

No more waiting ⌛️…. #ClipShow x #CBJ

@Aportzline And #cbj drop in the draft again.

#Isles jump from No. 10 to the No. 1 overall pick via the NHL draft lottery.

@Aportzline #cbj now 3rd in league for 5on5 goals. 🤫

#CBJ win, 6-2

@Aportzline I like seeing johnson on the pk.

#CBJ win 6-4. Six different goal scorers.

@F1RETHECANNON Vegas played a preseason game in the echl rink last yearCleveland. That Steelheads team is the echl team for dallas... no reason #cbj can't jump up to cleveland.

Many #CBJ fans think the Jackets should play a preseason game in Cleveland. When the lineup is mostly Monsters anyway, it only makes sense.

@Aportzline Stinger has some stiff competition?

Heard Boomer really stood out in his interview.

Google Ai still has some refinement. Searched for the bug. Apparently it may be #Nessie.

@Trckstopdotcom As part of last week's outage, we temporarily turned off some of our new features. They were turned back on yesterday afternoon & this is me this morning as our morning traffic ramped up. Awake at 5am to ensure it was a smooth day and quiet day.

It wouldn't be right if we talked a bunch of smack online but stayed silent when the tables turned. So in good faith, here's a brief compilation of some of our favorite callouts we received during yesterday's load board outage. Joking aside, we understand how frustrating an outage is for our customers. Truckstop plays a crucial role in the freight community and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience yesterday may have caused. To our customers and social media followers, we appreciate y'all for continuing to rock with us. 🤘 #KeepOnTruckin

@F1RETHECANNON Mediocre player suspended for steroid use criticizing a coach he was barely around.

Oh boy #CBJ

@F1RETHECANNON Doesn't surprise me. Likely means they will not qualify him this summer.

Huh? #cbj

@Aportzline Maybe #CBJ announcer shouldn't say that a 4-0 lead is "very comfortable" for this year's team.

The lead is gone. #CBJ breaking down all over the ice, including in net. Killorn finishes a nifty sequence off the rush. It's 4-4 with 23.8 seconds remaining in the second.

@YoungMoneyRyan @Aportzline @monstershockey Like the #cbj will ever win the lottery.

@Aportzline @monstershockey Macklin Celebrini YOU ARE A BLUE JACKET

#CBJ have placed G Elvis Merzlikins, D Adam Boqvist, and C Cole Dillinger on injured reserve. D Nick Blankenburg, F Emil Bemstrom and G Jet Greaves recalled from @monstershockey

@Aportzline How did the war room find that this is not a major. Then the league says it's a maximum fine? The inconsistency is fully on display here.

#Flyers Garnet Hathaway fined $5,000 for his knee-first hit on #CBJ Werenski:

@Aportzline Jarmo trades away 2 prospects before Christmas for immediate help. #cbj miss playoffs, and jarmo no longer with org in April. #boldCBJ

Hey, #CBJ fans. Every year I write a “bold predictions” piece before the season starts. “Xxx will score 30 goals,” or “Xxx trade by March!” Let’s change it up this year. You send me YOUR bold predictions. I’ll rank and evaluate them before the opener. Use #boldCBJ 1/2

@jrshaffy @Aportzline @monstershockey Puckpedia.com/salary-cap/SOIR has the details sort of.

@Aportzline @monstershockey How does Dumais’ contract work being on IR? Does he collect an NHL salary during that time since he was injured with the CBJ or just his juniors money?

#CBJ send F Dmitry Voronkov, D Nick Blankenburg and D David Jiricek to @monstershockey. F Mathieu Olivier, F Yegor Chinakhov, F Jordan Dumais and G Daniil Tarasov placed on IR. D Denton Mateychuk returned to Moose Jaw of the WHL.
