Episode 38: The Blue Jackets 2024-2025 season is over. They were a hair away from making the playoffs. In this episode I'll talk about what we saw this season and what we can expect in the future. Also:

- The 3 best and 3 worst decisions Don Waddell made this season.

- The 3 things we learned from watching the Blue Jackets this season.

Hope you enjoy. See you again this summer.

Episode 37: Jackets are still, somehow, alive in the Eastern Conference playoff race. In this episode I'll discuss:

1. The Jackets current situation (no regulation wins in 9 straight).

2. What needs to be done to sneak into the playoffs.

3. The future of the Jackets' forwards, defense, and goaltenders.

4. An aspect of the Blue Jackets' system I have noticed.

5. My journey to get a Stadium Series jersey.

...and more!

Yes, this episode is entitled "Pain." Because that is often what it feels like to be a Blue Jackets fan. It has certainly been a frustrating month for the Blue Jackets and their fans. In this episode I'll talk about their recent downfall, what has caused it, and we can learn about the Blue Jackets' future because of it. It is amazing how much things have changed in just a few weeks. Fair warning: I usually try to be bubbly and upbeat in my podcasts... I won't come across that way in this episode as I discuss the current frustrating situation of my favorite hockey team.

Episode 35. My thoughts on the 2025 trade deadline. In this episode I will talk about what the Blue Jackets did and did not do at the 2025 trade deadline. I'll explain how I was disappointed but then, thanks to a certain Reddit post, my tune changed.

Episode 34: In this episode I talk about, what else...the Stadium Series game that took place on March 1st at Ohio Stadium. It was a hockey experience unlike any other in my life. So I'll tell you all about the boom and gloom associated with that and then move on to some other Jackets notes. Enjoy!

Are we a wagon? Exciting times for Blue Jackets fans. Lots to be excited about. In this episode I will discuss:

1. Do we finally have average goaltending?

2. What will the lineup look like when Jenner, Monahan, and Chinakhov return from injury?

3. After the Christiansen extension, what will the Jackets' defense look like next season? Who stays? Who goes?

4. The Utah Hockey Club is down to three choice on which fans are voting. I explain what my vote would be.

Despite all the adversity. Despite all the tragedy. With new players, new coaches, and a new general manager...the Blue Jackets are still hanging in there. They are in the thick of the playoff race at the time of recording this episode. They continue to surprise and continue to impress.

In this episode I give my thoughts about what I believe the Jackets do at the trade deadline this year. I also give my predictions for what the Blue Jackets' defense will look like NEXT season. I make some bold predictions. And I discuss the newly released Stadium Series jersey!

UPDATE: Literally less than an hour after publishing this, Jake Christianson signed an extension. That may totally screw up my predictions I stated in this episode!

The Jackets are hovering around .500. They are playing meaningful games in January. While I am happy with this improved version of the Columbus Blue Jackets, I find myself thinking they could be even better. In this episode I talk about:

1. Goaltending woes

2. Damon Severson's inconsistency and the future of the Jackets' defense

3. Patrik Laine's comments
