This team is horrible offensively and defensively. Hence why they are 0-6. Total lack of compete and effort IMO.

Another day, another pitiful performance. This ORGANIZATION is a huge joke.

And just as I say that, they score.

And there we are, 0-6. Fire 'em all, top to bottom, and start over. Probably in Canada somewhere because this experiment is a big. Fat. Fail.

Too late to renege on that 29 year lease deal?

Do they brown bag it in hockey like other sports? I've got a few extra Giant Eagle bags laying around.

Do you think Carter has a drinking problem which may have been the case in Philly.

Carter is hurt right now. As long as Hartnell, Richards, and Lupul stay away from him he won't be drunk all the time. I almost forgot about the pornstars, keep them away from him. :laugh:

Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb. If the Blue Jackets leave, the Arena District dies. It really is as simple as that.

Columbus cares about hockey, that is evidenced by the Jackets' attendance their first 5 or so seasons and the success of the Chill back in the day. The problem is that you can't have an expansion team be in existence this long with such little on ice success and expect fans to pay money (especially in this economy) to go to the games. If the Red Wings or Penguins had played like the Jackets the last decade, they would have no fans at their games either.

For all these people who are clamoring for Columbus to cancel their deal and let the Jackets walk, I hope you don't actually live in Columbus. Because no one who actually lives in Columbus would think that is a good idea. Do you remember about 30 years ago when downtown was a ghetto shit hole? That's what you're looking at in downtown Columbus again if the arena district is allowed to die.

Good post. But either Arneil or Howson needs to walk.

How 'bout both? Howson first though. They have a comparatively huge payroll and are the worst team in the league - by far. What happened to developing and scouting REAL talent? Developing a system? All out the door with these guys.

I think we should bring back Hitch. He'd whip these pansies around.

Fuck Quebec. And fuck Winnipeg too for that matter. And I'd also mention Hartford, but playing in a mall was bad enough.

Mason left during the 1st period after giving up another weak ass goal. He probably left due to embarassment. Allen York in his first NHL game. Jackets lead Wings 2-1 after 1. Helllooo RJ Umberger only 2.5 weeks late.
