  • Ep. 54: The Pain that April Brings
    Apr 17 2026

    Want to hear a guy rant about the Blue Jackets' disappointing season for an hour? Well you are in the right place. The 2025-26 season is in the books and ended with, you guessed it, the Jackets missing out on the playoffs yet again. In this episode I'll talk about what happened (this time) and what needs to be done going forward to maybe, somehow, finally become a playoff team again.

  • Ep. 53: Never Count This Team In
    Mar 31 2026

    Misery loves company. That is the purpose of this episode. If you are a frustrated Blue Jackets fan like me right now, join me and lets commiserate together. I don't have any profound insights or perspective today. You won't come away with any new Blue Jackets knowledge. Everything I have to say, you probably already know. You'll just know that you aren't the only one feeling the frustration yet again with this team.

In this episode I will talk about players I misjudged and where the Jackets currently stand with only a few weeks to go in the season.
