1. I will gladly take a point after that shitshow of a first period.

2. Verhaege hates us 😭

3. I’m not sure why Vincent keeps cramming Johnny in there when we are in final moments of a game and it’s crunch time. He’s not the guy right now.

4. Hey I’ll take a point after that shit start. This is still better than last year’s team, at least they have some fight.

   Fuck Provorov.

5. How are you gonna start Johnny in OT? Guy is a ghost of himself

6. Martin deserves steak and lobster from every single teammate. What a man.

7. The second it was 4-3 I knew we wouldn’t pull it off. Seen this shit one too many times

8. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory right after snatching victory from the jaws of defeat

   Experience Jackets hockey

9. It’s so frustrating that we’re so bad at zone exits and we have been for years and Jarmo brought in defensive “help” in the form of two guys who are also bad at zone exits! Provorov made mistakes like that all game, I’m not surprised at all that he lost that for us in the third!

10. I know I should be happy with a point after that first 10 minutes, but man that was a brutal fuck up to not finish it off in regulation.

11. Hell yeah, got the point! Now that’s how you finish second to last in the division instead of dead last!

12. Well what can you say? You need to start playing from the start. If you told me we’d be getting a point after the first 10 minutes, I would have told you that you were lying. This team has some fight in them. They are inconsistent but they have some dawgs on this team. Learn and move on.

13. Not even a chance for Yegor bombs in OT. Sad.

14. Well we got more out of that game than I thought we would going into it. Way more than I thought we would after the first 12, and I’m still annoyed with how it ended.

    We put in about 2 good periods of hockey at least, though Johnny is still snakebit, and I’m thinking Tex might not got get such a big confidence boost after the turnover in OT

15. I’ve come to the realization that our team is very slow.

16. I’m so sick of losing in OT

17. Next time let’s not spot them 3 goals. And what a shit OT period.

18. Genuinely wonder how that game pans out if the team that showed up after we pulled Elvis played the whole 60.

    We continue to not be able to string a full 60 minutes of good hockey together. I give a lot of respect to the team. They didn’t quit and they made it a game and that is something we would’ve never seen under a team coached by Larsen.

    As Pazzy says, “it’s a process”

19. Way too conflicted about anything that just happened to have any takes beyond “wish we got that second point” and “Martin looked amazing”.

20. I think Martin has earned himself the next start

21. Feel like pure shit for Martin man, guy deserved a W for that performance.

22. I’m not a pro coach…. But that zone D they played at the end is just dumb. Fla just shot the puck for two minutes basically uncontested.

23. 4 points in 12 games for Johnny Gaudreau. What’s going on with him?

24. No one can take away and then immediate give away a game like the Blue Jackets.

    Happy for Tex that was a lucky break and hope that gets his game goin

25. Young teams make young mistakes. Shit happens. Onto the next.

    Team should seriously look into a short term deal for Martin. The dude has excellent technique and rarely is out of position.

26. My partner left the room for a minute, right when Texier scored. I was like “we scored while you were gone, we’re winning now. Probably gonna lose tho”

    lol

27. Sorry to be political, but fuck the state of Florida and it’s citizenry for allowing a government like it to exist

28. 1. Great comeback. Larsen’s team would’ve shipped 8.
    2. Tex first goal, MarchenkGOAL, and Martin with an amazing game. Makes me feel better.
    3. Still can’t hold onto leads
    4. Still suck in OT
    5. Still turnover the puck for no reason
    6. Provorov and Severson are hilarious. The cap hit on these guys is huge, they’re not consistent enough.
    7. Best I don’t speak about Johnny.

    It’s ok to think we played a good game (which we did) AND be upset with an unacceptable finish. Both things were true and it doesn’t have to be one or the other.

    1 win in 7 games. This is not good enough.

29. Honestly.. I just miss being somewhat decent in OT. I used to not dread it

30. I liked the fight, the guys showed some resiliency tonight but they can’t start playing after you’re already down 3-0, that’s what killed us.

31. I’ll drink the Kool Aid and say this isnt the same old Jackets. Last year they would have rolled over and died after that first 10.

    Anyways, we really gotta reconsider Boone in OT. I get winning the draw but Jesus. Flubbed the pass and left it on the platter for Florida to win.

32. Our biggest issue lately has been scoring

    We just scored 4 unanswered, progress?

33. UGGGGGH. Great comeback, amazing effort, but man that loss is brutal. I feel like it always comes down to just one or two critical mistakes, I’m hoping that we can clean up our sloppy clearing attempts sooner rather than later.

34. Only 4 points between us and 3rd in the division.got to start winning though.

35. Team is full of surprises

36. At least we fought back and didn’t get wrecked like last year.

37. Best play of the night was Martin skating to the blue line to fight Bob.

38. each game that passes without Patrik Laine on the ice leads to me sticking another needle in a rasmus andersson voodoo doll

39. Hey…. At least we’re not San Jose, right?
