One of the things I like about it is that you have the opportunity to comment without having to register your life away. All that said, we appreciate you reading, and taking the time to comment.<br /><br />This team has taken us on a ride none of us expected to be on, and it is to be enjoyed for what it is. (Wait a minute! Am I telling you what to do?? Sorry!) We will know in a few days if we are taking a keen interest in Monday's draft lottery, or if we are about on about other cares (please, oh, please, oh please! Ahem. Sorry. I was begging there.)<br /><br />At any rate. Please have fun with this. Which includes the occasional snark.

Having said that to acknowledge that the team has performed way better than he expected I doubt that he was really tooting his own horn.

This is the first time I've felt the Blue Jackets will be in a position to regularly compete for a playoff spot. There is no reason the Blue Jackets can't make the playoffs this season. Thanks to JD and Jarmo, I know the excitement I fesl now won't be fleeting whether they make it this year or not.Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00956860295146122482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796383459721793585.post-41913380991396895352013-04-24T13:06:07.027-04:002013-04-24T13:06:07.027-04:00Very exciting times indeed!

The B...These are the days to celebrate, not hate! <br /><br />The Blue Jackets are the Cinderella team in the western conference this year- and they're finally operating as a team. If they make the playoffs, they have a real shot at pulling some upsets- I've never seen this team compete like this...in their only other playoff year, they seemed content just to get there- they lost their last 2 regular season games after they clinched, and they never had a lead in the series vs. Detroit...<br /><br />Speaking of the Red Wings, both Dallas & the Jackets need a loss from them...they play the next two nights at home...two wins would by Detroit would eliminate Dallas- so the Stars could be mathematically eliminated during their game with the Blue Jackets (Det plays Nashville 1 hour earlier Thurs)...<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796383459721793585.post-81307483828334718392013-04-24T11:01:45.487-04:002013-04-24T11:01:45.487-04:00Sarcasm - "a mode of satirical wit depending ...Sarcasm - "a mode of satirical wit depending for its effect on bitter, caustic, and often ironic language that is usually directed against an individual" - Merriam-Webster<br /><br />In this case, the sarcasm was directed at myself.

Wow...you really are stuck on yourself if you believe that.<br /><br />The entire CBJ fan base has been begging management to acquire a #1 goalie for the last 3 years. Virtually every comment to an article/post on virtually every website (NHl.com, tsn.ca/NHL, ESPN, Dispatch, pick your blog) you could read about the Blue Jackets some way shape or form referenced our goalie struggles and how Mason has struggled since his rookie year and how the players have lost confidence in him.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796383459721793585.post-11247058139784473122013-04-23T16:40:19.657-04:002013-04-23T16:40:19.657-04:00This was a good read.

Now is the time and the time is now!<br /><br />That is NHL hockey. Having grown up and watched the Habs win so many cups I can tell you, the playoffs is where it is... And this team can make a go of it now! The fat lady is nowhere to be seen.<br /><br />The front office has done an excellent job. I was also talking goalie last year. It's all about the guy in net when it comes to ice hockey. This dude is a wizard. You need that 60 minute insurance policy in order to free up the lines out front.<br /><br />I don't want to wait until next year!<br /><br />Detroit, fall apart!<br /><br />Jackets, heads held high and go get them!<br /><br />Joe in VancouverApocalyptohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17445855133011128736noreply@blogger.com
