Just an interesting “what if”

Just wanted to add that.

Lets celebrate the victories of our players, rather than shit on them.

Also was an amazing game to watch, both the French Goalie Julian Junca and Elvis had stellar games. Was a goalie duel if I've ever seen one.

As we drive towards the upcoming 2024 draft at the Sphere in Vegas, I wanted to take a look at the previous fourth overall picks to try to get an idea of who might be available at fourth. Historically, the results are pretty good. A number of elite players have been picked at four and one of those is generational. There have been two busts but otherwise the Jackets can expect another pretty good player at four.

See the list below to see this year's performance of each of the past 12 draft picks. I've sorted the list by 23' / 24' points per game but the data includes Y2Y - P/GP DifferentialY2Y - P/GP Differential, TOI, Goals, Assists, and SOG.

Not sure how many of you follow the Jackets prospect pool or the WHL, but Denton Mareychuk, captain of the Moose Jaw Warriors of the Western Hockey League is currently second in points in the WHL playoffs. Drafted 12th overall by the Jackets in 22, he's playing lights out and is a joy to watch. I'll be seeing them on Wednesday in Moose Jaw SK.

Has anyone won the trip to Pittsburgh before? I won the two person vip trip and there aren’t details yet but curiosity has me wondering what to expect.

Relatively new supporter of the Blue Jackets. Live in Cleveland so have been following Monster's more closely. What is the general consensus on Jet and his future? Have loved watching him at the RoMoFiHo. For the circumstances, I thought he did pretty decent job when called up to Columbus at end of season. Has played well when returning these past three games in playoffs. His contract is up after this year and with everything that has happened with Elvis and Tarry to end the season, what are everyone's thoughts on with what the organization should do with Jet?

Technically hired as GM and assistant president of Hockey Ops or however that works, but you get the point. Is this the dream scenario?

Jeff Marek twice this week, once yesterday on the Jeff Marek Show, and today on 32 thoughts has said there’s a coaching vacancy in Columbus. Did HCPV get fired and we don’t know? Did I miss something?

Let's Get Blasted!

My buddies and I have been joking about a tilted kilt/hooters-esque CBJ bar that needs to open up downtown. Finally got around to branding it. Threw the design up on TeePublic if anyone is interested. They have a massive sale going on for the next day and a half too. Linked to stickers and magnets below, but there's a couple apparel options as well. Go Jackets!

If somehow demidov falls, that would be my pick. More realistically in my mind we could not go wrong with more centre depth with lindstrom down the middle since thats what we've wanted for so long. Outside of that i wouldnt mind buium or a good stay at home D like Silayev. What's everyone's thoughts?

I was hoping someone might be able to help me identify the signatures on this stick. I won it in a drawing. Thank you!

I know both project as centers, but would they put Celebrini and Fantilli on the same line? https://bvmsports.com/2024/05/06/how-would-macklin-celebrini-fit-with-top-nhl-lottery-teams/

...and our annual disappointment. Who do you predict will get the top pick and where will the CBJ land? I predict Chicago and Utah as 1-2, CBJ at #5

At least we are not leaf fans.

The guy at the flea market said this was a signed stick from the 2022 Blue Jackets Golf Classic but I don't know how true that is. Any idea whose signature is on this?

Any word on who is taking over for Rimmer?

Heading to CLE tomorrow. Know any Monsters hockey bars in N OH?
