Ep. 43: The Unluckiest Team Ever

BOOM and Gloom ·

2025/11/07

The Jackets are off to a 7-6 start and have looked very underwhelming, especially during the last two games. Games the should have won. I take a look at those last two games, what happened, and what I think needs to be done to right the ship...if anything can be done. I'll also explain in detail why I believe the Blue Jackets are by far the unluckiest NHL team in the last 25 years.

Ep. 29: Ok, It Feels Different Again

BOOM and Gloom ·

2024/11/25

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

BOOM and Gloom ·

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.
