Dad, husband, teacher, hockey player, movie lover, CBJ fan. Pizza snob. I post about hockey (mostly the Blue Jackets) and some other stuff. Creator: Boom & Gloom Podcast.
Yeah, yeah, I know. I am already complaining. Swap Voronkov and Heinen and I'm good...for now. Granted Heinen did have a good game against PIT and can understand him being rewarded. I view Sillinger as a place holder on that line until Marchment returns.
#CBJ lines today:

Sillinger-Fantilli-Marchenko
Jenner-Monahan-Johnson
Heinen-Coyle-Olivier
Voronkov-Gaunce-Aston-Reese

This checks out with ice time in Pittsburgh, where Voronkov’s ice was significantly reduced in favor of Heinen.

I would have played Werenski instead of Fantilli in the shootout. #CBJ

As annoyed as I am that the Jackets even let it get to overtime in the first place, I have to say...that was a very entertaining overtime. #CBJ

Maybe I am biased, but that was a weak holding call on Fantilli. #CBJ

Dagnabbit! Glorious chances for Fantilli and Johnson. Fantilli is so snake bit right now. Hope those not going in don't come back to bite us. #CBJ

So...Jackets going into the third period against Pittsburgh with a lead. I've seen this story before. Hopefully this is the new version with the better, alternate ending.

Someone (Olivier?) needs to make Wotherspoon pay for that late hit on Werenski. #CBJ

If you are making an absurd amount of money to play hockey and you just come out of the penalty box and your team is down by a goal and you are all alone in front of the net and you are fed a perfect pass...you HAVE to put the puck on net. #CBJ

Less than impressive period by the Jackets. Elvis looks shaky (surprise) but I'm not faulting him on that second goal. Hopefully Bones will make some adjustments. Fantilli and Marchenko need to step it up. #CBJ

ZAR: "I am going to be ALL OVER the scoresheet tonight."

Is this Fantilli, Marchenko, and KJ? #CBJ
Friday practice fun 🏒 #CBJ

I like the concept... Let's verify the address and see how much good trouble he likes #TrophiesForTrump

Surprised to see Christiansen in instead of Zamula. Not angry or anything, just surprised. Bowness evaluating his team or liked what he saw from Jake against Calgary. #CBJ

*interesting fact: it appears that my phone autocorrects Bowness to Owners.

Awesome video. Production value is top notch! I love the way Bowness talks to the team. #CBJ
Bones got right to work. 😤

I was the biggest fan of Dean Evason the player. I liked him last year as the team played under unthinkable circumstances. But this year, he lost my trust very quickly. I am glad DW recognized a change was needed and made one. #CBJ

Bad/unlucky call on Jenner. The only reason he tripped the Mammoth player was because he was tripped by their goaltender and falling over. #CBJ

I just like to post this once in a while as it accurately reflects how I feel when the Blue Jackets lose. Which is often. #CBJ

Some depressing info:

Gavin Brindley with two assists so far today. He now has one less point than Kent Johnson does this season.

Also I just realized the Avs are doing this with their 3rd string goaltender today.

Yay! It's great to be a Jackets fan!

I am sorry, I know I am just a frustrated fan sitting behind the comfort of a computer screen and not playing hard-nosed NHL hockey, but Drury went down way too easy there to stop play in his defensive zone. Puck off the shoulder and he acted like he got it in the face.

It must be SOOOO wonderful to show up at your favorite team's arena or turn on your favorite team's TV feed and know with 99.99% certainty you are about to see them win. #CBJ
