They were outplayed virtually the entire game. It was incredible we went up 2-1. But good teams manage to get at least a point out of this, the fact they couldn't hold on was disappointing.

Yeah this might be a long season, are we going to be looking forward to the draft here soon?

We made it, defense is an absolute adventure. But they can literally outscore that. That was a fun game, tumultuous but fun. Marchenko is just a special player. Coyle and wood both contributed to this game.

Boy, that #cbj defense is an adventure unlike anything I've ever seen. But man, can they score.

This #cbj pre-season hasn't been going great. They look flat again.

Our media has been breathtakingly complicit.

He's their Horst Wessel.

They just designated antifa as a terrorist organization.. which makes no sense, it's not an organization. They're going to start arresting people that don't agree with them, this is so frickin dark.

YouTube video by Puck Shot Hockey NHL Insider explains why the Blue Jackets re-signed Provorov #NHL #Hockey #CBJ #Bluejackets #NHLNews

Never say never

So hold up, hold up,... #LeafsForever #mapleleafs fans.. I have a question for you! So Marner never took a discount in Toronto but Vegas gets one right away? What a douche.

Danforth resigning plus another depth signing would be my guess and that will be it. Jesus, this has been a disappointing off-season.

Per portzline:

As of this hour, the Blue Jackets’ contract extension with Ivan Provorov is not finalized. Talks between #CBJ GM Don Waddell and Provorov’s agent, Mark Gandler, went well into the evening and will resume this morning.
A 7-year, $59.5M contract has been agreed to in principle.

Yeah let's see what happens this afternoon but I'm not very hopeful.

Per Seravalli: Down to the wire: sources indicate #njdevils have made progress in an effort to keep goaltender Jake Allen in a Devils uniform.

Not done, but the premier *pending* free agent goaltender may well not make it to market.

Blue Jackets circle back to Ivan Provorov after summer makeover stagnates The changing markets gave a lot of leverage to Provorov, who agreed to a seven-year contract.

I'm a green card holder and I'm honestly ready to be deported back to Holland.

Yeah it's not a need, but boy would it be fun.. and we need some fun right about now. #cbj

Man that was hard to watch... We lost out on every opportunity. This hasn't been a fun off-season.

Let's be fair, we have a second pairing player in Provorov. He has some positives. Severson on the other hand.. oooffff. Gudbranson is overpaid as well. Yeah this is turning into a disappointing off-season. Wouldn't be so bad now if we threw away a bunch of futures to land Robo. #cbj

It sure is starting to look like it.

The NHL salary cap is projected to significantly increase over the next three seasons, with the ceiling rising from $88 million to $113.5 million by 2027-28.

We got the space, we can afford to go a little coo coo for cocoa puffs. #cbj

I was starting to get worried, he would have killed it on the open market. I think people are going to be surprised at the numbers that are going to be thrown around in free agency. We got lucky here, now let's get an Elvis buyout and another RHD.
Heck let's sign Ehlers or Boeser in FA. #cbj

Per Elliotte Friedman: There's been some talk that if Marner goes to Vegas, the Leafs will go after Vegas for tampering; but if they make a deal with Toronto, and send a good player or two to Toronto, I'm betting any chance the Leafs file for tampering goes away - 32 Thoughts Podcast

Hell yeah !!!! #cbj

The Columbus Blue Jackets have signed D Dante Fabbro to a four-year, $4.125M contract extension.

There's still time for this front office to make a few moves. Let's hope they get on it.

But yeah you're right, it's a luxury item when we have bare essentials that need to be addressed. I just think it's so rare for a player with his specs and attributes to become available at his age, you pounce on that rare opportunity. Risky as that might be.
