1. I know it probably actually hasn’t been that long, but I legitimately cannot remember the last time we won in overtime

2. Thanks, i hate it.

3. I had a dream once that we won in overtime.

4. Inexcusable loss. Make them walk back to Columbus. Had no business losing that game.

5. That one hurt. Felt like the Flyers stole one tonight

6. Fucking shit team

7. Catastrophic third period. Can’t get credit for 40 good minutes if you collapse down the stretch by giving up four goals and blowing three different leads. This is becoming an issue.

8. Fuck this. Can’t wait to go to the game Monday and watch Laine score at least 2 goals against us.

9. Classic jackets. Mentally fragility leads to cautious play leads to blown leads.

10. I’m gonna try to be as positive about this as I can.

    At least we still have Z

    At least we still have Z

11. Just a complete inability to play a full 60

12. If games were two minutes less we’d be elite

13. If we want to be a good team we have to learn how to win those games.

    We had several chances to put it away, and we didn’t.

14. Thanks Elvis

15. I follow the Avs too and the difference in mental fortitude is night and day

16. How many times will I be reminded 60 minutes of hockey isn’t in the Jackets plans.

17. Z didn’t need to be leaned on after coming back. He was on the ice for what 4 goals against? And where was Fantilli in the third? He seemed to be having a good game up to that point.

18. Watching us play is like having diarrhea and being constipated at the same time

19. We are actually starting to throw away leads again and it needs to be addressed by the coaching staff before old habits return again. That absolutely should’ve been a win in regulation and that was some lazy ass backchecking in overtime there.

20. Time to supercharge the rebuild this summer. We have great young pieces, just not enough good veterans for a playoff roster. Also need another goalie badly. You need a tandem in the nhl.

21. It’s my birthday. I sat down and watched every minute of this game. I had optimism.

22. If it’s any consolation, this might not be the worst Columbus choke tonight?

23. I just got out of work and didn’t catch the third….

    …should I even ask?

24. What an epic collapse. This team consistently plays well and loses because of the dumbest shit. Also, no idea what Sillinger was doing standing there watching while Provorov is tied up in the corner. He needs to be on the defensive side of the puck there, and not being able to get back on the back check is the icing on the cake. That’s a game they had absolutely no business in losing.

25. Defense just kinda checked out and left Elvis out to dry after the start of the 3rd.

26. Played for about 40 mins decided all was good 2-0 up going into the 3rd and we let them walk all over us for a period.

    No point even complaining about OT, we are abysmal 3on3 I don’t know what drills we do to practice it.

    These losses are getting harder and harder to defend. It’s fine if we’re genuinely outplayed by a better team but we had that game won about 4 different times tonight and threw it away each and every time.

27. Jackets shit the bed in the 3rd again

28. While today might have not been Elvis’s fault, I firmly believe most of you in the sub are in some Elvis cult. I thought people would learn from his M.O and not redeem him because he has had some good games. The same thing happens every season, I swear.

29. > CBJ  coach Dean Evason, on @FanDuelSN_CBUS, said that D Zach Werenski’s injured left leg was “seizing up” during the third period and overtime

    Then why keep sending him out? Half assed defense is still better than this, all four goals were when he was on the ice after his injury.
