NEW: The Blue Jackets out-paced the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday night. But, their win was overshadowed by yet another very unlucky injury.

Obvious interference on this goal. In a game with HUGE playoff implications, several teams should have grievances with this play.

If the NHL were to bring down the hammer on the Blue Jackets for being under the cap in this situation, I think the entire hockey world would lose its collective mind.
Just my $0.02.

Ok, so has nobody noticed that the CBJ are 2.7 mil under the cap floor and they have till the start of the season to get cap compliant(28 days)? Have they been given special considerations due to JG? Am I missing something?

RIP Chris
Our thoughts are again with the Snow family. They are an inspiration to us all.
Today we hugged Chris for the last time and said goodbye as he went to give four people the gift of life by donating his kidneys, liver and lungs. We are deeply broken and deeply proud. In life and in death, Chris never stopped giving. We walk forward with his light guiding us.

This is why. Rempe has already built a reputation for being a physical beast. You need guys like Mathieu for this reason.

Cayden Lindstrom was among my favorite players in the draft and he goes to Columbus to form a one-two puck with Adam Fantilli.

L take.
Johnny Hockey has 130 points in 155 games since signing with Columbus. They have not had a 30-goal scorer in his time here. His primary linemate has been Boone Jenner and he's rotated through wingers like Danforth, Nylander, and others. His contract is fine.
#CBJ
Johnny Gaudreau is still one of the best passers in the whole league. However, right now, one of the worst contracts in the NHL.

"They'll need to pay to get rid of it"

Through 19 games he had 6 points to start the year. Since then he had 45 points in 51 games.
Johnny is fine. The Jackets stink in spite of him, not because of him.
