Played a longer session of Earthborne Rangers today! We are on Day 13 of our journey, and just arrived at Spire after dancing in Meadow. I also got my first Lingering Injury after getting beat up by a Pouncing Atrox.

No

#CBJ vs #ALLCAPS 📊🧵 A bittersweet final thread. The game hardly matters and has already been overshadowed by a Bowness tirade. Just going to dump the rest of the charts

#CBJ vs #NHLBruins 📊🧵 The Blue Jackets put up some numbers but their season is eligible for elimination on Monday. If you want a poetic message to send to the FO, perhaps getting lit up by Sean Kuraly and Jordan Harris is at least a good one.

#CBJ vs #GoHabsGo 📊🧵 The Blue Jackets keep their season alive. A miserable first period followed by dominant 2nd and 3rd give the Blue Jackets a rather large and comprehensive domination. Open play, special teams, goals, shot attempts and that's even with 1 called off.

#CBJ vs #sabrehood 📊🧵 The Blue Jackets got frozen off of the scoresheet. They had the puck a lot but didn't make much of it. Most of their chances come from empty net shooting and net-front. They controlled territory but had no clue how to turn it into offense.

#CBJ vs #LGRW 📊🧵 In what was ultimately a high event game, the Blue Jackets lost pretty big in open play but completely dominated at the net-front. A timely goal from Adam Fantilli and a monstrous performance from Zach Werenski kept the season alive.

#CBJ vs #GoJetsGo 📊🧵 The Blue Jackets losing streak continues. They were dominated in open play but clawed back some chances with a couple of rebounds.

#CarolinaCulture Jackson Blake put on a complete show of play-driving and play-making by being involved in every single load-bearing play on this shift. You don't have to be huge and fast to win, you just have to play space better and stick to some simple principles.

#CBJ vs #CarolinaCulture 📊🧵 The Blue Jackets are meeting the moment with the fortitude of a wet noodle. The game was over after the first period but the Blue Jackets sort of clawed back the chance deficit.

#CBJ vs #CarolinaCulture 📊🧵 The Blue Jackets played a relatively even game against Carolina. It was a very classic Carolina game, dominate shots, keep them mostly at the point and give up some really very big chances every now and then. CBJ PK collapsed.

#CBJ vs #NHLBruins 📊🧵 Looks like the Evason Jackets never left. Absolutely brutal penalties and the Penalty Kill danger catching up with them at the most brutal time. The Blue Jackets lost every facet, probably because they spent 2 periods in a defensive shell.

#CBJ vs #TheFutureIsTeal 📊🧵 No pretend moral victories here, the Blue Jackets were blown out in perhaps the easiest game remaining on their schedule. The flashing warning signs can no longer be ignored. An open-play win is nice but the Blue Jackets got dominated at the net. Nasty indeed Rick.

#CBJ vs #MTL 📊🧵 The Blue Jackets, by every measure except score (and powerplay chances), completely outclassed the Montreal Canadiens. They doubled up the open-play chances and tripled up the net-front.

#CBJ vs #LetsGoFlyers 📊🧵 An ugly first period set the Blue Jackets behind but they made up for it the rest of the way. Some quite poor net-front coverage and poor powerplays made the difference, but Zach Werenski got it done.

#CBJ vs #Isles 📊🧵 A late surge has the Blue Jackets looking better than this game felt. They created most of their danger off of rebounds, it was otherwise a very terse affair with a one-sided penalty differential. Props to both goaltenders.

#CBJ vs #SeaKraken 🧵📊 Just chart dumping today! Massive win for CBJ who took care of business against a worse team very well. Notables: Cole Sillinger, Kent Johnson, Sean Monahan and Zach Werenski rocked. Vince Dunn and Berkly Catton are really good too.

Happy Friday

#CBJ vs #NYR 📊🧵 After a frankly unserious affair, the Blue Jackets find themselves with a well earned win and a spot inside the playoff line. The Blue Jackets were marginally better in open-play but heavily outchanced the Rangers in special teams.

#CBJ vs #CarolinaCulture 📊🧵 The Blue Jackets beat the Carolina Hurricanes in Open Play. This isn't something that has felt particularly possible for the last few years, outside of some Voronkov-Monahan-Marchenko heroics, so this feels like a really big win for the club.

#CBJ vs #TimeToHunt 📊🧵 It's confusing how the team who beat up Tampa on the back half of a back-to-back can come out like this but that's sports. They had a ton of chances and "should have" won the game but it was pretty sloppy. Lots of wasted opportunity.

#CBJ vs #GoBolts 📊🧵 Massive win for the Blue Jackets and a complete drubbing of the Tampa Bay Lightning. They won everywhere and every situation.

#CBJ vs #GoKingsGo 📊🧵 The Blue Jackets wasted a great opportunity on this one and were lucky to get a point. The opening double-minor was the best stretch played, otherwise they lost pretty much every conceivable situation.

#CBJ vs #TusksUp 📊🧵 Rowdy Saturday night game between two playoff hopefuls. Utah gets the edge in open play but CBJ had some massive netfront sequences that gave them a massive edge in chance share. CBJ was dominant for stretches, Utah created some premium looks.

👀

#CBJ vs #TimeToHunt 📊🧵 Not a pretty game for the Blue Jackets but an even one in open-play. They lost at the net-front, by way of getting very little, but also got demolished on the powerplay. The late game sequence full of rebounds did quite a number.

#CBJ vs #Preds 📊🧵 The Blue Jackets won the possession share and were better in open-play but Nashville got to the net for some great results. Lots of special teams chances.

#CBJ vs #NYR 📊🧵 NYR had the better game. Much more possession, a better net-front game and some delayed penalty empty-net chances.

#CBJ vs #Isles 📊🧵 This data is a bit suspect. I have some beef with shot tracker on a quadruple pad stuff for Ondrej Palat. Without those, this looks like a decent Blue Jackets win. Lost in open play, Jenner penalty but got to the net.

#CBJ vs #NHLBruins 📊🧵 The Blue Jackets, by chance share, were unlucky to win this one. They found more danger and possession in all categories but couldn't get it done.

I hope no one on this website will be surprised when Sanderson-Werenski is the US's best D pairing.

If you're tired of reading me write about the Blue Jackets, now you can listen to me talk instead!

#CBJ vs #CHI 📊🧵 The Blue Jackets were the better team throughout. Chicago got hardly anything on net, quite ridiculous. CBJ dominated the first and then kind of coasted. Still took way too many penalties.

😎

#CBJ vs #NJDevils 📊🧵 I sincerely apologize for calling any other game "low-event", this one was a brutal watch. CBJ won at 5v5 pretty well but took a ton of penalties. Didn't concede goal though, great for Elvis.

#CBJ vs #STLBlues 📊🧵 Another pretty low event game. The Blue Jackets took way too many penalties and completely collapsed in the third period. Thankfully, the goals did not follow.

#CBJ vs #CHI 📊🧵 A relatively sleepy game all told. The Blue Jackets came out hot but their top offensive players didn't have the spark to put the game away. A good chunk of Chicago's rush offense came from the neutral zone. A ton of CBJ forechecking came very early.

Looked into the differences between #CBJ goalie performances and what happens after they make saves 👀 open.substack.com/pub/pocketcb...

#CBJ vs #GoBolts 📊🧵 A chaotic win for the Blue Jackets against a very good Lightning team. Thankful for the backup goaltender. A very back-and-forth affair, highlighted by outrageous EN goals.

Cool thread examining teammate effects/interactions through an ecological dynamics lens! It is small-sided soccer games but the applications would be easy enough to translate to hockey.

#CBJ vs #TexasHockey 📊🧵 A very low-event game from the Blue Jackets who were mostly dominated but got a goal from the guy who does all the scoring. A different flavor than the rest of the season. Lots of slot packing defense so the "turtle" didn't quite feel the same. Jet Greaves was brilliant

#CBJ vs #GoSensGo 📊🧵 An extremely low event game with the vast majority of chances coming off of the powerplay for both teams. An unlucky bounce off of Werenski's stick, two shifts against CBJ fourth line and a single poor period of Elvis Merzlikins was enough to do it.

#CBJ vs #LetsGoPens 📊🧵 Sloppy game from the Blue Jackets but a shootout win. They had a lot of trouble in their own zone, gave up some bad forecheck goals and were dominated in the even-strength non-5v5 minutes.

#CBJ vs #AllTogetherAllIn 📊🧵 Big in-zone victory for CBJ. Like massive. They made loose decisions, which undermined some of their more dangerous offense and gave Vancouver some big rush looks. PP scoring making everything feel great.

Guys will see this and just think "hell yeah" #CBJ

#CBJ vs #Flames 📊🧵 Big special teams night for CBJ. Gave up a ton of big rush chances but got some good forecheck contributions.

#CBJ vs #TusksUp 📊🧵 The Blue Jackets found a lot of danger from in-zone and powerplay situations. Both teams struggled to create much in the interesting offensive situations. Growing pains of two teams trying to be less fun and more winny, I suppose

#CBJ vs #VegasBorn 📊🧵 Apologies for the delay, NHL API isn't listing Mikael Pyyhtia as a player on CBJ roster :) CBJ had trouble generating some of the most dangerous offense but were efficient when they did find chances. Lots of in-zone chances blocked. VGK created a ton of rush offense.

#CBJ vs #LetsGoPens 📊🧵 Not so much that the Blue Jackets lost but how. Some pretty brutal defensive missed coverages and nearly forty minutes of collapsed defensive hockey.

#CBJ vs #LetsGoBuffalo 📊🧵 A sleepy sort of game, CBJ went up early and more or less coasted. Buffalo found a lot of recovery chances and good powerplay danger but had trouble getting it on net. They scored off of a big d zone turnover though.
