The Columbus Blue Jackets are probably the franchise that a lot of people forget exists, in most cases. The sad part is that the Jackets haven’t done much to break that narrative. This franchise just can’t do anything right; or should I say, everything falls apart on them.
This year, like many before them, is no exception. This video is in dedication to the franchise doomed to be the enhancement talent of the NHL.

To this day "JoHnNy HoCkEy" going to Columbus remains a baffling deal.
Columbus is more well known for the Arnold Classic than the damn Blue Jackets.
Blue Jackets are probably the worst and least successful sports organization there is
Funny with SeatGeek, I was able to get a $20 ticket to a hockey game that happened to be taking place at 10AM on a Wednesday, finding out about it as I'm getting out of work for my overnight shift. Turns out, it was mostly for all of the middle schoolers to go on a field trip to see some hockey under the guise of helping them pick a career. So what I initially thought was gonna be a relatively quiet morning game of hockey turned into a building full of kids who were the loudest, most raucous crowd I can recall seeing. What was also cool, they covered the outer concourse of the arena in various signage and props from events that have been held there, turning it into a makeshift museum. And despite the crowd being 75% school kids, they were still pouring alcohol at the arena bars and concession stands
Every single one of these videos just steels my resolve more that every single sport at a "professional" level is rigged, childish theatre for the lowest common denominator. Just like the majority of products in this clown show. If you have any integrity or intelligence too speak of this is just a bleak, constantly depressing place to be.
As a Ohioan, I'm genuinely shocked we have a hockey team. Born and raised in Toledo it was all about the Red Wings.
Sounds like the Memphis Grizzlies on ice
Your use of Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis era music is noted and very appreciated.
For all Columbus (and Sabres) fans, you deserve better, and full respect for sticking with your team.
I would also like to count knocking the Maple Leafs out of the 2020 bubble playoffs as one of the best moments in Blue Jackets history!
Johnny Gaudreau needs to fire his agent if Columbus was seemingly the best option to sign with FOR LESS MONEY.
Cleveland needs an NHL team if this is what Ohio has to offer.
I'm from Columbus, if anybody thinks that fan base is loyal just because they show up and wave towels and yell when they accidentally make the playoffs, they aren't. There's one team Columbus is loyal too, Ohio State football. Go to any bar in Columbus, nobody's watching the Jackets. Cleveland teams have better representation at sports bars. Go to Nationwide when the Buckeyes are playing a home game, you'll see the definition of an empty arena.
Love the hockey content maybe rangers islanders greatest game?
I knew as a CBJ fan a video was coming on them sooner or later. I’m surprised this wasn’t sooner. I love hockey, but I’ve lost patience with this team to the point that I can’t bring myself to spend money to go see them play, and I live 20 minutes from NWA.
surprised he didn't call them the modern day Atlanta Thrashers
The Jackets are a reflection of Columbus as a whole, all fluff no soul.
Columbus is just not a good hockey town. I can get free tickets to Ohio St. hockey games pretty much anytime I want them. Honestly, an NHL team in Ohio needs to be in Cleveland or Toledo. Although Toledo is too close to the Red Wings.
Doesn't matter lad we're winning the MLS
Not the Barry Horowitz reference 💀
I mean from what I remember Gaudreau went to columbus to seemingly keep himself out of trouble which seems like an indictment of the city and to some extent the team but I could be wrong. Columbus really doesn’t strike me as a hockey city with how all-encompassing Ohio State sports are and then there’s the Crew who are an actual good professional sports team.
I do think it may be karma for having such a strange combination of team name and mascot color like they’re the blue jackets as an homage to the folks who made the Union uniforms during the civil war which is fair enough but the mascot is a green yellow jacket (named Stinger) because it’s a play on being called the blue jackets and yet they shoot cannon balls after every goal? But Stinger’s thorax before their actual stinger has black and yellow stripes while his head or arms are neon green? It’s such a mess all around. At least Gritty is an adjective that I could use to describe a good sports team or the city of philadelphia meanwhile the original crew logo had dudes in hardhats so a jackhammer celebration for every goal to play into the construction worker vibe is at least thematically consistent.
We’re the Browns of the NHL and unluckily for me I’m a fan a both
Calling the Blue Jackets the “enhancement talent” of the NHL fits perfectly
Need more hockey vids tree💯
