Sigh of relief. Top4 is reasonable, I can live with that, I guess. We’ll see what happens in May.
Tough season but thats how it shakes out sometimes. Better years ahead!
Fuck the Penguins. Sabres are the new best buds.
Flip 3 coins. If they all come up heads, that’s roughly our odds of getting Bedard.
I officially want the blue jackets to win the rest of their games for all time
At last, the nightmare is over. No more speculation, no more suffering. Top 4 pick, good. No Will Smith. There is still hope. Guards/Crew season to see whomst can do more to shorten the lifespan.
At least we finished the season with reasonably good expectations going into next season. See you all here for the draft lottery and crossing my fingers and everything else for #1 and if not hopefully #2. Later!
I will see you gentlemen and gentleladies at the draft lottery. Can’t wait to secure the #1 OA pick and have Connor Bedard be a Blue Jacket!
We did it guys! We saved the ~~city~~ tank!
Sabres are my second team now. If they ever make the playoffs and we don’t, I’m buying a goathead jersey.
Kudos to them for playing hard even though they didn’t have to.
I stress are way too much pie.
We are getting a top 4 pick!!!!
Peeke blocking a hard shot with little time left in a meaningless game says something. I like that. Just checked stats and he finished 2nd in the NHL with 197 blocks. Freaking warrior !
Good riddance. Finally. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out Brad.
May the Bedard odds may forever be in our favor 😊
Nice job staying in the lottery race, I know after a tough season it would suck even more to finish outside bottom 5. Hope you guys land first or second overall!
No more tank stuff please. If we suck next season then Larson needs to go.
Maybe this sub will now get around to wanting the Blue Jackets to win, and not random teams in the Western Conference.
Thank god
JLGP just said Bayreuther opened a lot of eyes around the league…
It’s over. Thank god we weren’t just medium bad, what a huge disappointment to not be competing for a second this whole season. Hard to believe I was so excited leading up to it
We’ll never lose again.
Bayreuther has the cutest family. Cutest little girls, adorable wife – I wish him success.
I can cheer again. Yay!
Let’s go Bjorky and Seattle!
Ok so another thing to think about

So… whens the ‘Larsen and Jackets part ways’ announcement dropping?
Guys…. We made it to the end.
The horrible season is over.

Killlll meeeee
Well Larsen was damn near tears there
