I’ll be interested to see who gets Jenner’s spot on the first line
THE RUN TO THE CUP STARTS NOW
mascot madness today! The return of boomer?
Over/under on Fantilli minutes: 12:30.5. Place your bets!
Not that it matters to us, was still an awesome moment yesterday for me as a Jackets fan. I live in Denver now and my girlfriend and me were going to the Avs vs Flyers game. We were walking past a Four Seasons across the street from Ball Arena and there was a coach bus out front. I said to my girlfriend, “Huh, I wonder if this is where the opponents stay.” We come around the corner and there was a man pacing in front of the hotel, it was John Tortorella! I recognized him instantly and we exchange a quick hello with a wink and finger gun point. I quickly pulled out my wallet where I showed Torts my Blue Jackets debit card, he had a quick laugh and said, “It was a great time! Have a great time at the game!” Then he got on the bus.
Holy shit boys we’re actually getting the LFG line
[Pascal split up the KJ-Fantilli line :(](https://twitter.com/BlueJacketsNHL/status/1733887017782522316)
Of course the day they have a matinee game is the day I’m busy and can’t watch 😒
Oh, good, looks like they broke up the fantilli kj line
ALERT ALERT: projected lines may be incorrect. Fantilli quoted this morning as saying he’s still with 91 and 52. https://x.com/mark_scheig/status/1733887904840032539?s=46
Im cautiously optimistic that the gaudreau – fantilli – Laine line is going to dominate. I just hope Tkachuk doesn’t bully Fantilli too much
For months WHY WONT PASCAL TRY FANTILLI WITH JOHNNY!!??? Baaaaaad Coaaaaach.
*puts Johnny and Fantilli together*
WHAT?!!!!! Why did he take Fantilli off the line he was on???? He was playing so well with Johnson and Bemstrom???? FIRE PASCAL INTO THE SUN
Surprised so few want to try Fantilli with Johnny. Everyone talks about how Johnny doesn’t drive a line. You know who can? Fantilli. Johnnys looked good he’s just been playing with guys with bricks for hands. Just imagine
Well the lines were just posted in the pregame, Fantilli is back with Johnson and Bemstrom and the top line is now Johnny Danforth Laine
1C Danforth is hilarious
