My Blue Jackets. Oh, my woeful Blue Jackets. Bill Simmons and The Ringer called them "the most irrelevant franchise in professional sports". And I cannot argue. 27 seasons in the NHL. 6 playoff appearances. 1 playoff series win plus 1 COVID season kind-of-playoffs series win. Never been to round 3. Only one Hall of Famer rostered, Sergei Fedorov in the waning years of his career.
But dammit, the games are fun as hell. Go watch NHL hockey in-person if you haven't.
The stand-out of this pile is Cam Atkinson, in that he's the only All Star among them. I'll also shout-out Marc Denis, because I'm a sucker for goalies. I believe in you, Jackets. The North will rise again.
Go Redlegs.
Hope the Blue Jackets find success sooner than later for you and the rest of their fans. I was a diehard Sharks fan for decades, but haven't attended a game in years. I did watch a few games on tv this season though.
