1. Oh no they’re getting my hopes up 😭

   We definitely still have defense problems, but I haven’t seen us play like this in what’s gotta be five years lmao

2. We have an NHL team in Columbus again, fellas…

3. I’m not a very emotional man… but watching well-coached hockey for the first team in 3 years brings a tear to my eye

4. I DIDN’T KNOW WE WERE ALLOWED TO WIN GAMES. WHAT IS THIS FEELING?!?!

5. I think we might be a bit better than we thought lol

6. Guardians are going to the ALCS and we beat Colorado! What a damn great day!!!!

7. Last year we screamed to let the kids play. Well the kids played and the kids scored.

8. I’m not saying we’re going to be good. I still think we’ll probably be bad. But I do see a lot of improvement through two games we’ve been waiting to see for a while. So that’s exciting!

9. I love this team

10. Love to see the boys play like this. All heart and talent. Not giving a shit about who they’re up against. We might not win a billion games but if we’re giving effort like this I’m watching a whole bunch of them.

    For Johnny baby

11. You guys.

    Dean Evason statue right

    Probably a Waddell one too

12. Good fight tonight. Whose player’s birthday is on Tuesday?

13. Well holy shit, I’m kinda speechless.

14. I really liked what I saw from Pyyhtia, feels good to beat that team especially. Classy move by Marchy to give Monahan that goal, he deserved it after ripping that one off the post earlier

15. That win takes a lot of pressure off of opening days. Great team win. Hopefully signs that this will be a fun team to watch this year.

16. Tarry the god

17. Rebellions are built on hope

18. I️ said it before, and I️’ll say it again:

    Yegor Chinakhov has turned into arguably the most complete player on this roster, and he’s only 23. He has made meaningful additions to his game every year he has been in the league.

    If he stays healthy, he could one day have an A on his chest and 50+ points a season

19. Marchenko is the sweetest person ever (we already knew this anyway), the birthday boys got their goals, Johnson is playing with big johnson energy, and we can hold leads LET’S FUCKING GO WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

20. We genuinely look like a completely different team. Incredible how much changed bringing in Evason

21. If it takes OSU losing for the Jackets to be good, I will take it

22. Great fucking W boys. The kids look good. Fantilli is a friggin animal. 

23. Thank you HC Evason. The CBJ play like a legitimate NHL team

24. Wish I’d watched a ten goal shooting match rather than Ryan Day failing for the umpteenth time against a top 5 opponent

25. Jackets win, Indians win, but Ohio State blew it.

26. Such a awesome valiant effort by our boys, so proud of them and so damn excited for this teams future, you can definitely tell they’re playing with purpose

27. SOMEBODY

    COOKED

    HERE

28. FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK 💥

29. Glad to see them supporting each other on the puck tonight. They definitely locked in for that one. Marchenko is a good teammate for that one. Everyone looked good and we stayed playing north south tonight.

30. It’s so nice to have this energetic feeling in this sub and for the team again. It’s still early, and we will have bad games but fuck past couple years have been miserable.

31. Two games in and this looks to be the most entertaining cbj team I’ve seen in 4 or 5 years.

    They get through the neutral zone SO much faster than they have in a while. It’s so nice to not see each rush bog down in the neutral zone and then just dump the pick in.

    In the offensive zone they look like they have a plan and aren’t just passing with no purpose until they turn it over.

    I’ve seen much less of the neutral zone “drop pass of doom” on the pp. That might make me happiest of all.

32. Yeah we’re gonna be good this year and y’all kept saying bottom 3

33. It is genuinely shocking how different of a team this is. I remember when we looked like this before. Lots of grit, effort and chemistry. It got us into the playoffs. I’m not saying this year we will, but this is the sort of identity that historically has given us success. Everybody is buying in and the effort is palpable. Love this team.

34. I just want a competitive team when I go see them a few times this year. If this keeps up, I won’t be disappointed.

35. I needed this after Ohio State losing to Oregon….

36. What the heck is that on Monohan’s head? lol

37. That was a fun game, and I could get used to this whole winning thing. Let’s do some more of that

38. In this house we love and protect Sean Monahan

39. I’m taking this with a grain of salt, but this team is legit better than the hockey world was anticipating. In both of the CBJ’s games I can say with confidence that they look like other teams in the league. They may not contend this year, we may see bad losses at some point, but these guys look well coached. They look like a team. And they look competitive. Hockey in Columbus is fun again.

40. Welcome to the Soviet Blunion, Monahanov. All I want is good things for him.

    Seeing Evason get so jazzed about that win was strangely touching.

    More globetrotting from the youngsters, please.
