#CBJ Jackets trail for the first time with 3.2 seconds left in OT. #veryJacketty

After allowing two more PPGs in that second period, #CBJ goalie Elvis Merzlikins has allowed 15 PPGs on 70 shots in his 12th start, a brutal .785 sv% Hard to criticize goalies on PK, since the other team has an advantage, but the old saying is also "Your goalie has to be your best penalty killer."

End of a wild second there in S. Florida and the #CBJ are clinging to a 5-4 lead after first going up 4-1. This team ... my gawd.

Is there a more passive PK in the #NHL than the one the #CBJ throw out there? Can’t know for sure, but going into this shooting gallery vs. FLA, they were 29th in the league at 17.2%. Have allowed 8 PPA in last 8 periods. #lottaspaceoutthere

Hellions won that game 18-6, as I recall it.

We've got just over an hour 'til kickoff, so here's your tactical Preview of MLS Cup! Including a look at how Thomas Mūller *always* finds space between the lines, and how a new role for Messi has unleashed Miami on both sides of the ball. www.mlssoccer.com/playoffs/202...

According to Boots On The Ground in Sunrise, Fla, team reporter Jeff Svoboda, the #CBJ will go with the same lineup today against the two-time defending Stanley Cup champs, including Merzlikins in net for the third straight game.

I met Stav of Stav’s Diner fame in our early twenties. He’s one of the best dudes Columbus has to offer. Support Mike. Support Stavros. That is all. #Crew96 #CBJ

A very busy week ends at Stav's Diner on the East Side. Free post to all subscribers hits thedisrespected.com, and all yin mailboxes, at 6 a.m. Have a nice day. www.thedisrespected.com/p/5b50fb93-c...

A Bezbatchenko anecdote comes to mind from a couple years ago, before Zawadzki needed a shave. National team called, asked for clarification on Z's position. Bez, and I'm paraphrasing only a bit here, said: "He's a midfielder -- but his underlying numbers as a CB are with the best in the league."

Gotta say, if Turkey wins their playoff it’s tough to top Group D. I say this as someone who just had kangaroo kabobs last week. Absolutely outstanding.

BREAKING: LAFC have named Marc Dos Santos their next head coach, per sources.

Apparently so. We’ll see what the new coach says by way of collaboration.

Damn. I just ate. Normally, I have an iron stomach.

Not wholly unique. Avery Brundage blazed a similar trail 89 years ago.

Big congratulations to my fellow FIFA Peace Prize shortlist nominees: we are all, in some way, winners, and we can just focus on the hard work of talking about how much peace we accomplished in 2025 & how much we’re into the idea of peace, generally.

Two posts for subscribers to end the work week. This one is #Crew96 related. It's an edited transcript of a Zoom call with GM Issa Tall Thursday afternoon. There is much that is stirring on Black and Gold Boulevard. Have a nice day. www.thedisrespected.com/p/87907d3a-e...

Two posts for subscribers to end the work week. This one is #CBJ centered. Will be posted and sent to inboxes early Friday a.m. Have a nice day. www.thedisrespected.com/p/36df070d-0...

#CBJ just blew a 3-1 lead. That sounds familiar, I know. Three caveats: *The Red Wings tied it up with two power-play goals after a double minor to Dmitri Voronkov (high sticking, with a leak). *There's still a half a game remaining. *Monday night, they actually held a lead and won in NJ.

Ohio's own John Buccigross lit the cannon before the #CBJ v Red Wings game at Nationwide tonight. It took him 90 seconds to get back to the booth to call the game for #ESPN.

You mean a Frenchman did an Irish goodbye going to Scotland with the potential of coaching in England later on?... That's like 12° of colonization right there bro.

There's something about Wilfried Nancy's exit from #Crew96 that was sticking in my spleen, so I vented a bit. No paywall on this one. Have a nice day. www.thedisrespected.com/wilfried-nan... www.thedisrespected.com

This is wild. ManU supposedly offering 30M to Real Betis for Cucho. #Crew96

Darlington Nagbe #Crew96 press conference “official retirement” tribute happening at the exact same time as official Wilfried Nancy hire announcement by Celtic in Glasgow. Pure coincidence, right?

It’s done. Columbus Crew is officially looking for a new coach. #Crew96 www.celticfc.com/news/2025/de...

Looks like the official search for Wilfried Nancy’s replacement will start in the next 24 hours. #Crew96

He will be coaching Celtic vs Roma in the Europa League next Thursday. That’s on Paramount+

#CBJ 5, #NJDevils 3. This crazy game could be critical to the collective.

Like that.

#cBJ have been talking about not backing off the gas when they have a lead. Good time to try that. Eh? Go score. NJ down to 4 D.

You stole my line.

Uh oh. #CBJ have a 2-goal lead in the 3rd period … Maybe fight night has cleared their heads, and they can’t blow manage it.

Don’t know how Meier doesn’t get 2 there. Lot of texture tonight. #CBJ

#CBJ Spicy. Adamo can throw.

Good news for #CBJ: They’re trailing 2-1 at the first intermission. They can’t blow a trail.

“If there’s one lesson we all should have learned over the past decade: don’t piss off Crew fans.” #Crew96

Add in their star No. 9 for another $400k, which means they spent less than $1m total on one of the best spines in the league. And the guy who was their director of recruitment during that era is currently a free agent.
