1. Woof

   It’s been like… a decade of being an *awful* awful overtime team. It’s very annoying

2. What a fucking joke

3. Why does this team exist?

4. Another embarrassing loss

5. Classic 3rd period meltdown….. So fucking frustrating

6. Un. Fucking. Believable.

7. Death, taxes, and the Blue Jackets blowing a lead.

8. can’t make this shit up. the WORST third period team when leading i’ve ever seen

9. I don’t care who you have to fire. Do it and do it tonight.

10. They need to get rid of this defensive scheme. Ridiculous to get a lead and hold it by letting them shoot endlessly.

11. Sad.

12. For the longest time I was defending this front office, but I’m officially on the clear house team. This isn’t working. This sucks.

13. See ya Jarmo. Fire him before any stupid trades get made

14. Thinking about that scene in Fever Pitch where the disgusted fan says “They don’t just lose; they raise it to an art form”.

15. Ooohh boy last I checked we were up 3-0 🙁

16. Why can’t we fucking finish

17. CBJ sucking all the joy out of life.

18. Blue jackets masterclass

19. Everything about this team is just so baffling right now. Either Pascal Vincent is teaching the players something incredibly stupid or we are just the softest team mentally you can imagine.

    Fire Jarmo.

20. So pathetic. 4 unanswered goals. It’s not worth watching this team if they just give up in the end. Fire everyone

21. Real original guys. Get a new act!

    Sad part is that it was so predictable. Flat third, indifferent OT. Can’t even describe how disgusting an effort that was.

22. Giving up 4 unanswered in one period and some change is inexcusable, and Laine didn’t even play. The scapegoat is gone

23. Where are all the In Jarmo We Trust people?

24. I’m tired of sitting here and saying the same exact fucking shit every single game. Nothing ever changes.

    Somebody, literally SOMEBODY has to lose their job. Someone has to get fired, someone has to tell them that what they’re doing is not acceptable.

    This is inexcusable.

25. I’ve reached my limit with these guys. See you all next year maybe.

26. “We don’t need more talent on the ice through the draft”

27. Not quite what I had in mind when I asked Santa for more choking…

28. Pain

29. Vincent even used a time out to yell at them to get their heads out of their ass.

30. Even though we have seen it so many times this season. I still cant believe it happened again. Am I stupid?

31. I guess another top 5 pick will be nice

32. Glad we finally got a franchise, All-Star level, potential Hall of Fame center who WANTS to be here just so we could let Eric Robinson get 6:30 more ice time than him. Love this entire organization.

33. So is PV gonna come out and say “oh we’re so close, that was a great learning game?”

    Fucking embarrassment of a franchise. Now we’re gonna make some dumb trade too

34. These guys go into third periods hoping to not lose and not believing they can win. It is pathetic. It is top to bottom bullshit.

    If I’m Boone I’m holding a closed door meeting and calling everyone out. If I’m Vincent I’m stripping Boone of his C and everyone else of their As. Everyone gets a turn to be an A. If I’m Jarmo I’m firing Vincent and trading away everyone not named Adam Fantilli or who wasn’t born in Russia. If I’m ownership I’m firing Jarmo.

    If tomorrow I woke up and every single one of these things happened overnight I’d be so fucking happy.

35. This ought to be the incident that gets someone fired in a competent organization that cares about results. Up 3-0, meltdown and lose in overtime. Fans were willing this team to step up to do something and we just kept dumping puck after puck in.

    I don’t even care if it’s fair, if Pascal is the sacrificial lamb, fine whatever. Someone needs to be shown the door

36. Ownership needs to do the obvious thing. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but this year needs to be the last of Jarmo and co. I still believe the Babcock fiasco is a big reason why we are in the situation we are in. We did not need another first year head coach – especially one that was passed by us originally and a month before season start.

37. Meanwhile, Columbus’s other professional sports team will be playing LA for the league trophy this year. Potentially our second title since 2020

    In the coaches first year, after we fired the last one for missing playoffs 2 years in a row

38. I wonder what these idiots say to each other in the locker room after they blow another game. I wonder if any of them are at all upset. Probably just “Oh well, is it payday?”. I’ve never seen such a group of expressionless sad sacks. Leaderless and listless.

39. Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

40. Jesus fucking christ i’m pissed. I can handle a rebuild season. I can handle a losing season. What i can’t handle is the team looking great for 2 periods and THEN just saying “fuck it”.

41. Has Jarmo been fired yet?

42. “I don’t know what it is about these third periods.” Same, Jean-Luc.

43. All I want for Christmas is Jarmo and JD out before the New Year.

44. I’m actually embarrassed to be a Blue Jackets fan right now. These blown leads are beyond disgusting. I’d rather have a team full or LTIR so I can pretend it’s not our fault.

45. Z is so unimpressed.

46. This was high school hockey night too. like you blew it in front of all those kids. That sucks so bad.

47. I respect Olivier for being honest that they are in a groundhog loop. At some point someone in that room needs to be the guy who steps up and leads the team out of this loop.

48. Every single team knows that we’re a mess late on. They know not to panic when they’re down going into the 3rd because THEY KNOW they’ll turn it around.

49. ONLY WITH THE CBJ CAN YOU HAVE A 3 GOAL LEAD GOING INTO THE 3RD PERIOD AND FEEL FORTUNATE THAT YOU GOT A POINT OUT OF THE GAME …
