Very good article. It is all doom and gloom...and it is warranted. For a team as consistently bad as the Jackets, their cupboard should be STOCKED with talent from high draft picks. This is ridiculous. The stat about Demidov and Sennecke is a gut punch. #CBJ
NEW: The Blue Jackets do not have any prospects playing in the World Junior Championships tournament this season. Could this hint at issues in their scouting department? #CBJ

The Blue Jackets have no prospects playing at this year's World Junior Championships
The Blue Jackets prospect pool is starting to look somewhat bleak.

What just happened? A regulation win? A third period lead NOT blown? No goals allowed in the third? Clearly Zach Werenski has been the problem. #CBJ

Prediction: Marchment is going to continue to put up points. It will convince the Jackets to hold onto him at the deadline and then sign him to a big contract. Then his production will fall off a cliff. #CBJ

Excellent breakdown. One of the most important quotes:
"The entire disaster starts because Elvis Merzlikins makes a bad decision with the puck."
And also...
"Bad new. Elvis came out to play it again. Unnecessarily."

NEW: In one shift, the Blue Jackets saw all of their efforts go to waste. We break down the game winning goal from Saturday night in Anaheim. #CBJ

Breaking down the game winning goal the Blue Jackets allowed on Saturday night
The Blue Jackets lost in Anaheim because of a calamity of errors.

Bullet dodged. But it won't help the Jackets save this season unless the rest of the team pulls their heads out of their butts. #CBJ
Per /Aportzline, nothing broken for Zach Werenski... considered day-to-day.
Big sigh of relief for Blue Jackets and their fans

#CBJ coach Dean Evason has no update on Werenski. Not surprising.
Evason pointed out how refs blew immediate whistle when a Duck got hit in the torso with a shot earlier in the game, but they just let Werenski crawl off the ice.

If Z is out long term, this season is officially over. Might as well start hoping for that elusive, mythical draft lottery win. And dammit I am so, so, SO tired of my favorite team being in the draft lottery. 40 years of cheering for perennial losers is exhausting. #CBJ

Jackets need their top offensive threats to step up and become actual offensive threats. Marchenko has looked invisible lately. I've talked endlessly about KJ and Monny. Even Fantilli needs to step it up. #CBJ

I feel like Coyle, Sillinger, and Wood are constantly on the ice. I realize TOI is documented, I'm just saying it just FEELS that way. #CBJ

Mateychuk falls...just when the Jackets were absolutely cruising. And of course it results in an Anaheim goal...because of course it does. It's the Jackets. #CBJ
Greaves looks to be off his game tonight.

Nice little on-screen tribute to former Whaler teammates Evason and Quenneville. They mentioned how the Whalers churned out all these awesome coaches and executives. But you know what they couldn't churn out? A successful hockey team! Really feels like deja vu with the Jackets.
