NHL 2011-2012 season

That looks about right.

I don't know what happened to them recently. The 07-08 and 08-09 seasons were, I think, the best they ever played, and after the brief shining moment in the playoffs it all went to shit. They lean too heavily on Nash, I know that. Mason is a disaster. He got cocky early, threw embarrassing hissies, and fizzled out fast. As the article says, no Garon to step in for him anymore.

The Blue Jackets were never really wildly popular (you'd never see people wearing Blue Jackets jerseys for the cachet, like you'd see people wearing Blackhawks or Red Wings jerseys), but they always had that little group of fans who were really hardcore, for whom the Jackets could just do no wrong. I used to look at the giant Blue Jackets store at the Tuttle Crossing mall and think, "Really?", but it was the hardcores that kept stuff like that going when no one else cared.

Now I'm seeing even the hardcores responding to their facebook updates, going "BLUE JACKETS SUCK" and "FIRE ARNIEL" and "WHO CARES IF THEY MOVE THE TEAM". When the hardcores are turning on them and telling them they don't give a shit anymore, it's really getting ugly.

To tell you the truth, I haven't sat down to watch an entire game yet so far this season. I've flipped past once or twice, said meh, continued about my business.

idk how to fix the many, many things wrong with that team, though.
