If Coyle IS back in Columbus, there should be an A on his jersey next year.
Composed, two-way player that led with actions and words. Exactly the type of guy Bones wants to stick around for the culture.
I beg of you: please keep Mateychuk off the ice when Olivier and Matthew Tkachuk are skating together.
USA World Championships roster is literally straight from Shoresy.

@UnionAndBlue@TheUBSoldiers@CurtisDeem This is a shockingly high hit rate for a mid-first round pick, no? At least it was to me.
I’ll take a Shattenkirk type for the lineup 10/10 times.
Smith has also looked really, really nice in NCAA; would be sweet to go B2B high level prospects at this pick.
Thanks for this!
Yet again, nobody can possibly have it worse than Leafs fans… right?
There’s only one team that’s been around since Matthews’ debut that has under 2,100 power play opportunities.
NOBODY has it worse than us. #CBJ
@nhlpens On top of your assessment of the Leafs being hilariously wrong, the Leafs are last in power plays in the Matthews era.
No team has more of a right to bitch about officiating than them. 😂
Great presser all around. I thought the media in particular did a fantastic job with asking the right questions.
Different feel in the room and on the stream today. I cannot believe the hopium is already back.
Pay Charlie Coyle.

My absolute GOAT right here.
This is the kind of guy gives Olivier the C.
The kind of coach who doesn’t reward mediocrity.
The kind of coach who will put the 2 points above all else.
Break out the check, Mr. McConnell. We’ve got a man to keep out of retirement.

An angry Rick Bowness postgame: "All you gotta do is look at the stat sheet. Three hits, 23 giveaways. I don't know if I'm back, but if I'm back, I'm changing this culture. These guys, they don't care. Losing is not important enough to them. It doesn't bother them." #CBJ
@CBJ_Opinions Do you think there is an organic way into the postseason for this roster that does NOT require 35 goal seasons from Fantilli and Marchenko and Werenski to maintain an 80 point per game pace?
Boy, they’ve been close both years but I’ve got a feeling that they need external help
Big stories of the offseason:
1.) What to do with Boone Jenner? Great community rep, mediocre forward and unmotivating leader.
2.) Will Werenski still be motivated to bring Columbus success? If not, do you trade him?
3.) The Head Coach debacle (part 453)

Yet another brutal end to the season.
I would say maybe it’s time to do a full reset but this team has never sustainably been better than a bottom 10 team in the league throughout their history.
Harder to watch than the Cleveland Browns. And that’s saying something.

I generally understand Bones’ decision to challenge, but Carolina has been so, so hot on the power play.
It’s a real Hail Mary that indicates to me he had no faith in the team to score another.
#CBJ
Unbelievably disturbing loss tonight.
Game looked nothing like what Bones has coached in the past.
Worst time possible to slump. Back on the outside looking in, for all intents and purposes.
