   🙁

   ​

   I just want to win a game.

   Idk man. I can’t keep doing this much longer

   Opposing teams capitalize on literally all of our mistakes while we can’t even get *close* to take advantage of theirs. Usually we just end up missing the net.

   Unacceptable. Don’t care how “good” we looked. We lost. Again. Not acceptable.

   Something has to change.

   I don’t know what the right answer is. But something’s gotta change.

7. MysticEnvoy 12 months ago

   I’m so tired of losing these one goal games. Some bright spots tonight, at least. Defense and offensive special teams need to get their shit together.

8. BooneJennersBeard 12 months ago

   Our loss column will never know peace 🙁

9. ThunderousDemon86 12 months ago

   Let us never speak of Laine as a center ever again after tonight. You’re a winger bud, accept it.

10. Timberrr15 12 months ago

    I feel like I’m going absolutely insane, close game, close game don’t worry guys close game we just couldn’t pull it out, WHEN ARE WE GONNA WIN ONE OF THESE CLOSE GAMES

11. Dick_O_The_North 12 months ago

    Just this side of back boys. Hope Johnny can use a well played game to build up his spirits and get back to what we all know he can do

    If I see one comment about only losing by one I’m throwing hands.

14. AlanLGuy 12 months ago

    At this point I’m actively rooting for us to break the team record losing streak… I mean at that point ownership has to step in right?

15. Lyun 12 months ago

    looks like the Flyers are the next team that will get to beat us by one goal in a game where we had held the lead at some point

16. Seattlekrakenlegend 12 months ago

    Well I made $160 so all wasn’t lost

17. AeroBlack33 12 months ago

    How is it possible to have so many similar games end the same way? Are we cursed?

18. NLP19 12 months ago

    I will say, last year we lose this game 6-1. Our games are so much more watchable this year lol

19. judica_me_deus 12 months ago

    Everyone is aware of the negatives and it’s Saturday night so I’m going to choose to focus on the positive.

    Johnny looked good tonight. I’ll choose to believe Patty finds his game this week.

    I hope you all have a good weekend. It’s only hockey. I’m trying to tell myself that.

    im tired

21. CBJFAN10 12 months ago

    Didn’t see Laine for those last 6 minutes.

22. SEND_ME_YOUR_CAULK 12 months ago

    Between my teaching job and being a Blue Jackets fan, and a Maryland football fan, I love alcohol and weed

23. ThunderousDemon86 12 months ago

    Out of all our skaters, Olivier had the fewest minutes, 9:33 TOI. Laine was second to last at 12:21. Wasn’t out there for the final minute after that bad turnover to give up the fourth goal.

24. Elexeh 12 months ago

    Was it last year when the Flyers and Sabres both went on 10 game losing streaks and then won 10 in a row shortly after?

    Not that Im saying this would happen to us, but crazy shit occurs in the NHL all the time.

25. ShartRat 12 months ago

    I have nothing against Pascal and I think he’s doing a really good job for the mess he has to work with that is our roster but I’m getting super tired of him being like “we’re so close” in interviews lately. We’ve lost what 8 games now? And for most of that streak at points we have led in those games. This team doesn’t know how to handle pushback from opponents and once they even get one goal on the board this team just collapses. This team can’t just expect to give up during parts and then show up late in the 3rd period and win games off of that. This team is making too many defensive errors and turnovers and it feels like the same issues every game so far

26. Fabresque_ 12 months ago

    It’s getting to a point where I’m gonna stop watching the team. I don’t know how much more I can take.

    I live alone, I go to work every day where I sell tickets for a minor league baseball team. I grind at my job, I enjoy my time with my coworkers, I get joy out of being able to say “I go to the ballpark every single day for work”.

    I’m single, I play tennis, I watch a lot of shows and movies, and for a long time I enjoyed watching the CBJ play.

    And I just don’t get joy out of it anymore. It is seriously difficult for me mentally, it’s not even me being angry anymore, I just wanna see the team that I love win hockey games. I watched Rick Nash 15 years ago as a little kid at Nationwide and fell in love with him, I fell in love with the team. I can’t not support them.

    This is the first time I have ever seriously considered that I should stop watching them. It’s not good for me.

27. ASillyGoos3 12 months ago

    We were the better team tonight, just got beat by our own mistakes. Provorov and Severson HAVE to be broken up and Jiricek needs to be with someone that helps cover up for his mistakes.

    Elvis bails us out REGULARLY… but at the same time could have reasonably saved 2 of the Caps goals – c’est la vie. He’s not the root cause of our failures.

28. rcxd44 12 months ago

    I’d recommend, if you can stomach it, to pick a second favorite team that you can watch play good, meaningful hockey every night. This team has a long way to go.

    Not even sad anymore. I’m watching a comedy at this point.

30. omcclosk1447 12 months ago

    Are there any vets that would draw interest in trades to get 100% of our youth in the lineup? We aren’t a playoff caliber team so we should make this season youth focused and play them at the NHL level. You see it in Anaheim, their youth got experience while they sat in the lottery, now they are starting to turn it around. I don’t get why our front office keeps trying to bridge versus committing to youth.

31. Seattlekrakenlegend 12 months ago

    Johnny finally got a goal because he shaved and no longer looks like Rob Schneider

32. Big_Bluebird8040 12 months ago

    Let’s look at the positive. That’s 64 games and 160 hours of hockey we don’t need to watch anymore this season

33. SEND_ME_YOUR_CAULK 12 months ago

    Rest assured Jackets fans… Please note that literally everything about NWA blows Washington out of the water. I’d so much rather be at a game in Columbus than Washington. Columbus when the Jackets are losing is deadass louder than Washington when the Caps are winning

    -2.31 xGA from Elvis….Woof

36. slowclapcitizenkane 12 months ago

    Proverov sounds like he’s had experience pahking the cah in Hahvahd Yahd.

    Was his billet family Click and Clack from Car Talk?

37. the_shiney 12 months ago

    10 years of Jarmo. I think the drafting has been fine, but has ANY trade or free agent signing truly worked during that period? We’ve really needed a #1 center, and year after year, we get moves that don’t address our most important need. I know #1 centers don’t grow on trees, but damn, 10 years, and most of them have been spent playing Boone out of position.

    Johnny and Laine thrived with decent center play. Without a #1 center, we’re wasting their time here. It’s not rocket science as to why they are struggling.

    10 years. You had 1 job.

    Pascal getting frustrated, visibly so in the post-game presser

    Edit: “It’s getting pretty fucking old”

39. Fabresque_ 12 months ago

    Pascal is absolutely seething. He’s ripping into the team.

40. Fabresque_ 12 months ago

    PV now dropping swears. He is NOT having it anymore.

41. Green9510 12 months ago

    Pascal Vincent postgame: “We’re right there. We could be four or five games over .500 right now. It’s getting ridiculous. Like it’s just those little lapses and then the puck is in the back of your net. I’m repeating myself but it’s getting pretty fucking old right now.” #CBJ

    ​

    I DO NOT WANT TO BE IN THAT ROOM RIGHT NOW…OH MY GOD I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHAT IS BEING SAID

42. Fabresque_ 12 months ago

    Jean-Luc confirming what PV says, also mentioning the same problems we’re mentioning on here.

    Do NOT listen to the people on here telling you that you’re overreacting. You’re NOT.

43. iamelloyello 12 months ago

    Color me impressed in the post game presser.

    He is rightfully pissed.

    Good. It shows he cares.

44. Fabresque_ 12 months ago

    Seeing Torts, Cam Atkinson, and the Flyers doing well right now hurts.

45. SEND_ME_YOUR_CAULK 12 months ago

    Are you all ready to watch a rerun tomorrow? I sure am. I’ll watch that shit on ESPN+ and complain the entire time, but i’m gonna watch the game, because this team is watchable and entertaining even though the L’s suck.

46. xGongShowJ03 12 months ago

    frustrating season so far, these one score games are killing my soul

47. iamfluffhead 12 months ago

    Anyone have a link to PV’s postgame presser? Can’t find it yet and would love to hear what he has to say about this nonsense.

48. khemsurov 12 months ago

    Sage the entire organization

49. SEND_ME_YOUR_CAULK 12 months ago

    Funny thing about games at Capital One: I’m pretty sure their “Let’s Go Caps” chant is prerecorded. The thing is, it sounds the same every time, always starts off at the same volume, and suddenly just dies. To add onto that, I actually looked around this time and not a single person around me was actually cheering. It doesn’t start off quietly like they do at the Jackets games.

50. TH3_Dude 12 months ago

    If we don’t beat Chicago, I’m seriously just gonna sneak into games for free.
