You know it's one thing to get embarrased on the ice and have a season of suck.
That is bad enough.
It's another thing ENTIRELY when your own game operations slaps every Blue Jacket fan/season ticket holder who still are taking the time to come out and support this turd by actually playing the Blackhawks goal celebration song after they scored a goal.
Are you f**king kidding me?
As a season ticket holder I want someone's ass on a plate for this. If person or persons who pulled this off thought this was funny or that they could slide this under the radar then they are sorely mistaken.
Somebody better have woken up this morning with a pink slip in their stocking.
If this franchise wonders why it continues to be the laughing stock of this entire league they have noone but theirselves to blame when they allow nonsense like this to happen.
Imagine the outcry if something like this were to happen at the Shoe.
I've friggan had it with this mickey mouse crap both on and off the ice. I love this team and I love this sport but if the people that run this franchise aren't going to take the team and it's fans seriously then why should anyone else?
Hell why stop with playing the Blackhawks goal song? I mean the folks in charge obviously seem more concerned with appeasing the opposition than the home town team so why stop with the goal song?
Let's give out terrible towels sponsored by Nationwide when Penguins come to town... Or why not a "white out night" featuring Maple Leafs t-shirts with 61 on the back next time they pay Columbus a visit? Perhaps an Octopi night sponsored by the North Market when Detroit makes it's next appearance?
The franchise has enough of its own problems. It certainly doesn't need it own damn game ops to pile on to satisfy a bunch of bandwagon 'hawks fans.
I would blame absolutely no Jackets fan if he/she stood up, turned in their tickets and walked right out that door never to come back again.
Why support this team if the home arena won't?
I would encourage every fan out there to get a hold of their season ticket reps and/or email the Jackets and demand an explanation and accountability.
There is a lot that needs to change with this franchise and that includes Kimberly Kershaw and her stale and careless game operations staff. I think they have yet to realize what home ice advantage really stands for.
