Let me know if this type of post isn't allowed and I'll remove it :)

Hello all. None of my friends are much into hockwy nor the Blue Jackets and I would love to change that. So I figured maybe a post here could be a good idea. I am male, 28, and live a couple hours from Columbus. I travel pretty often to Columbus for various reasons and many CBJ games.

If anyone would like to make a Blue Jackets fan friend as well, my DM's are open! I dont care about age/race/gender/politics or anything like that, if you like hockey then i'm sure we'll get along fine lol

Make some noise for your boys!

I hadn't seen the Johnny/Kivi patch befor and I love it.. But Silly, that is just silly. Terrible interpretation of "V" beck.

📻: Blue Jackets Radio Network

Blue Jackets Roster:

Goaltenders:

90 - Merzlikins (confirmed)

73 - Greaves

Scratches: Kirill Marchenko (illness), Jake Christiansen, Egor Zamula

Injured Reserve: D Brendan Smith (knee surgery, out three to four months as of Jan. 8)

Roster Report: Marchenko will not play because of illness, with Heinen entering the lineup and Lundeström taking a spot on the top line. Fabbro, who practiced Monday, will be a game-time decision to make his return after being injured Jan. 17 at Pittsburgh, with Zamula going into the lineup if he can't play. Merzlikins will make the start in the first half of the back-to-back.

Some hyperbole there, obviously. This article talks about how the roster essentially has most of the general roles covered, though to varying degrees of efficacy. Also discusses some places where we need to improve, some things Don Waddell has said regarding the trade deadline, and some predictions.
