Episode 29. All right, maybe I spoke too soon last episode when the Jackets were mired in a slump. But they have emerged and have cranked out 3 straight wins for the first time since 2022. It has seemed since I started this podcast I have talked mostly about the "gloom" and not enough about the "boom." There just hadn't been much reason to do so. But I am pleased to say that in this episode I have plenty of positive things to say. This season has been very entertaining so far! I'll talk about the Jackets' recent "success," the return and emergence of Kent Johnson, and the status of prospect Cayden Lindstrom...amongst other things.

When the Jackets started the season with moderate success, I (along with other fans) said that something felt different about this team. New coach, new GM, new system, new direction. But now, mired in a 4-game losing streak, it kind of feels like the Blue Jackets of old. In this episode I'll talk about this feeling as well as some observations and notes about our beloved CBJ.

Warning: I recorded this while recovering from strep throat. I sound a little groggy! We are 6 games into the 2024-2025 Blue Jackets season and the injuries have hit hard...again. In this episode, I talk about the injuries and why I the only word I can think of to describe the Blue Jackets' penchant for bad luck is "unfair." I'll talk about some of the things that have impressed me so far this season as well as some of things that haven't.
