Ep. 54: The Pain that April Brings

Blue Jackets Armchair GM: June 2026 Edition

Summer is in full swing and we have some Jackets news to discuss! In this episode I talk about: 1. Zach Werenski wins the Norris Trophy 2. The possibility of Dylan Larkin playing in Columbus next season 3. The possibility of *gasp* trading Zach Werenski 4. Mike Babcock?  Yes, Mike Babcock. 5. Mason Marchment 6. How will Jackets games be televised next season? ...and a few other tidbits of CBJ news.

Ep. 56: Arm Chair GM: May 2026 Edition

The Blue Jackets have locked up Charlie Coyle, signing him to a six year contract.  What else could and should be done to get this team back to the playoffs next season?  In this episode, I'll pretend that I take over the General Manager duties of the Jackets and discuss what I would do.  From players to coaches to even jerseys, I'll discuss the changes I would make.

Ep. 55: Grading the 2025-26 Blue Jackets

I listen to several Blue Jackets podcasts.  On one I really enjoy (Cannon Balls with Michael Arace), his crew gave the Blue Jackets grades based on their 2025-26 season performance.  As a teacher, I was very intrigued and thought that I should take a stab at grading the Jackets myself.  So here you go, my player grades for the 2025-26 season...as well as some other tidbit of CBJ news!

Ep. 54: The Pain that April Brings

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

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.
