  1. Honestly, the worst part about this team is their decision-making. Shit’s brutal out there. Awful turnovers, *terrible* shot selections, not being able to get out of our own zone. I’m not sure if this is just remnants of Larson or what, but shit’s gotta change. It’s not even solely on us being a “young” team; the veterans are the ones making the worst decisions out there

  2. iamelloyello

    It is frustrating to see how much better we were than last year and not being able to convert.

  3. lelander193

    You can’t consistently give up 5 goals and expect to win a game

  4. Tribe740

    We’ve won 1 of our last 11 games. Stop playing the names in big moments

  5. Timberrr15

    I hate everything man, I wish we got blown out every game instead of making it close and giving me hope, it’s tiring

  6. Scratch Gaudreau, I don’t care, take away Pascal’s ability to let him waste a third of the team’s game doing fucking nothing.

  7. Samuel_Vader

    I no longer expect to win games. I just go into games hoping they’re not complete blow outs. I miss looking forward to watching this team play.

  8. SaveTore

    The highest paid players are invisible and cannot possess the puck. Lol wtf. This is bottom feeder play.

  9. SEND_ME_YOUR_CAULK

    I need a break from Jackets.

    We should not be this bad. We are at the bottom of the league still with only 4 wins in 16 games. Got a win percentage of .250. That shit is just not acceptable right now. I get we weren’t supposed to be *good* this season, but that is just pitiful. At this rate, San Jose is gonna catch us.

  10. If you guys want to make a boatload of money, just follow my patent pending betting system: wait for the Jackets to get a lead and then hammer the live moneyline for the other team to win. It’s guaranteed to hit almost every time!

    This is embarrassing. There is no defensive system. We’re still attempting to clog up the middle of the ice but no one seems to want to make a block when they do. The other teams are running around like they are on the PP.

  11. Turnolearno

    Surely when we pick up another top 3 pick we’ll start to improve after a few years

  12. DoubleDumpsterFire

    Keep the young guys. Fire the rest into the sun. FO, coaches, vets. This team seriously needs to air out the stink.

  13. kmcddrums

    Severson was easily the worst player on the ice all night, did nothing but stand around and then turn the puck over whenever he had possession. With the way Elvis and guddy have been playing I can confidently say he has the worst contract on the team.

  14. RonTugMyNuts

    Fantilli line didn’t see the ice in the last 7 minutes of the game. Honestly what the fuck. The only guys that are consistently going and you put out Kuraly and company for three shifts?

  15. TonyPerkis100

    How many Ls in a row before we see a big change? Mark Scheig made it seem like it could be soon on his latest podcast.

  16. SomeKindOfMonster

    i’m beginning to think we’re not gonna make the playoffs

  17. Aperture-Employee

    idk it’s still very early but frankly this losing streak has not made me a particularly big fan of Pascal’s coaching.

  18. CBJLACFan

    Not even going to talk about the PP as it’s been awful since the franchise was founded outside of, like, 3-4 months in 2016 when we won 16 in a row. And I’m not even going to mention Gaudreau and others making a ton of money to not score.

    Until this team learns to give up less than 3 goals a game. They will never consistently win any hockey games. And no, this is not an Elvis complaint (he was good tonight and has been mostly all season. As has Martin). The defense by this team is atrocious. And also no, this isn’t just a defenseman issue. The forwards don’t defend well at all either.

  19. Seattlekrakenlegend

    I’ve decided I’m going to start betting against the Jackets. Either way I get something if I do this.

  20. ohst8buxcp7

    It’s time, this is absolute rock bottom. Fire JD, Fire Jarmo, TONIGHT. Honestly it’s way past time. Absolute fucking embarrassment.

  21. smokeythepothead

    Fire fucking everyone. Everyone who thought Babcock was a good hire, fucking fired. I’m so tired of watching the same fucking shit for 16 out of 23 years. Fucking tired of the same shit defense, same shit power play, same shitty everything. Not like we would get any fucking worse if we go through with it. I’m also fucking tired of hearing about how we are a young team. I’ve been hearing that same shit story for 23 years as well. Fucking fade me.

  22. I’ll avoid anything negative and say I enjoy watching Fantilli every shift and Voronkov has thoroughly exceeded my expectations.

  23. pulpandlumber

    I know that Dump and Chase is a common strategy and we are doing it less but I will never understand why we dump and chase after we have pulled the goalie. It just seems like that would be the right time to maintain control on an entry.

  24. TheMacGoober

    If Jarmo and JD have jobs after this season I’m canceling my season tickets. All these prospects and signings plus waiting because we’ve been dealing with injuries. And winning 1 out of our last 11 is the best we can do?

  25. doppleganger2621

    of course Crosby has to get a hat trick and we have to see those Pittsburgh fuck fans go ballistic

  26. khemsurov

    Russiantilli line and 4th line grinders are the only ones trying out there. Take it to the studs

  27. Fabresque_

    1. Fuck the Pens
    2. Fuck Sidney Crosby. It’s actually depressing that he’s a nice guy because he TORTURES us.
    3. 1 win in 11.
    4. 6 game losing streak 🙂
    5. Jarmo brought in Severson and Provorov to fix the defense. “Elite GM”
    6. Vets are mailing it in.
    7. To Jarmo: Good luck explaining yourself to the owners why this team is sitting on ~70 points by April and drafting high again after you specifically went out and gave massive contracts to league veterans in order to get back to the playoffs.
    8. To JD: If your ass isn’t shipped out side by side with Jarmo, this is your last GM hire before you’re gone, too. You’re just as culpable for the mess we’re in.

    Depressing ass squad. Depressing ass team.

  28. judica_me_deus

    Can there be a players only meeting or something?

    I feel like such an idiot getting excited every September to watch whatever the hell you call this

  29. mrmanuke

    12 losses and we’ve had the lead in 8 of them

  30. trothwell55

    Every year at home we fold to this team dude.

    Why do we always make this leagues superstars have career games on our home ice. All while our supposed death line is getting outshined by our rookies and checking line grinders. Its seriously pathetic. Like look like you have some pride. Look like you’ve ever run a power play in your entire career. Or be open about what the internal problem is. Literally anything.

    And to add to it even our announcers have to continually reference that our barn gets taken over by their fans. Its embarassing as fuck for the franchise.

    It feels like the time to emotionally check out is coming close this season. Idk man. We shouldn’t be this bad.

  31. rowdyginger05

    I’ve been to Pitt for games. Their fans are chill. Their fans that pack NWA aren’t it. These people are just gross and I don’t understand it.

  32. sergei-boobtitsky

    Looking at our record and it feels impossible that we have 4 wins

  33. JeffThatGuy

    I wanna put my face in the cannon but it doesn’t get fired enough.

  34. Fabresque_

    We need to beat Pittsburgh: Lose to Pittsburgh

    We need to lose to Pittsburg for the draft pick: Beat Pittsburgh

    I am tired.
