I have a breakown of two other angles of the stomping posted at the website (went up Saturday, free day for all). The takeaway is that the MLS Disciplinary committee has meted out its fines to Miami, Messi was untouched - and will remain so. www.thedisrespected.com/the-weekly-d...

A puck was hurtling down, possibly aimed at head of Dave Maetzold (preferably) or my glorious dome. No one was injured in the making of this film, which was flipped in the editing process. #CBJ youtube.com/shorts/wyBCA...

Many are saying Messi is a shit bag who doesn’t respect his opponents. Retro Screamers posted an IG video of Messi stepping on Santi and it really settles the debate. #Crew96

The Blue Jackets looked way too slow on Saturday night

RIP Lyle Odelein, a human being of prodigious warmth and generosity

Tillman. It is generally true that soccer in the US doesn’t draw the best athletes. No doubt, there is not enough investment in grassroots development, unlike the rest of the world. But gottdamn. Nice goal, Tillman.

I’m in a Mexican restaurant watching USA-MEX and there’s a Spanish cover of “My Way” playing in the house. Good speaker system, too. This version is better than Frank. Not better than Sammy. Will have to think on Elvis.

The #CBJ locker room, in a nutshell: "We let them play like us" and "it wasn't a speed disparity as much as we're not quite synced yet" and "special teams killed us." Paraphrasing. As for Bowness, it was, "Turnovers. Special teams. Penalties - especially in the third period." Back to work.

Michael Arace @michaelarace1.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

The #CBJ are built to wear teams down. Utah was too fast to catch and hit. It's a final: Mammoth 4, CBJ 1. The visitors scored three PPG. The Jackets chased and committed stick fouls. A crowd of 17,176 was only half that size by the middle of the third period. A dominant performance by the Utahs.

050

Michael Arace @michaelarace1.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Utah has scored its third PPG of the game to take a 4-1 lead at 14:13 of the third period. Schmaltz again.

Michael Arace @michaelarace1.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

With Mateychuk in the box on a high-sticking call, Utah scores its second PPG of the game, this one from Guenther on a one-timer from the left circle. It's 3-1 Utah over the #CBJ with 13 minutes to go ...

Michael Arace @michaelarace1.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

2nd intermission here at the Nationwide Arena: Utah 2, #CBJ 1. Jackets are basically surviving -- get it in, get it out -- mostly, get it out -- against a fleet, talented, well-coached Mammoth team. Shot attempts: 50-31, Utah. SOG: 20-11, Utah. CBJ defense hasn't quite broken. Jet very good.

030

Michael Arace @michaelarace1.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Utah is exceedingly quick. Too fast for the #CBJ

030

Michael Arace @michaelarace1.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Kent Johnson scores his first of the season on a breakaway at 1:30 of the 2nd period. #CBJ now on the board. Utah leads, 2-1. The Mammoths have been very good. Jackets needed that one. Assist to Matthew Knies, his fourth point in four periods.

Michael Arace @michaelarace1.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Schmaltz with a one-timer from the bottom of the left circle sneaks one past Greaves inside the near post. That's one of those "Oh, he'll want that one back." Jet didn't quiiiiiite have the post. Utah 2, #CBJ 0. Shots: Attempts: 29-9, Mammoth.

010

Michael Arace @michaelarace1.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

#CBJ 3 shots on goal through 15 minutes.

Michael Arace @michaelarace1.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

#CBJ killed off the first six penalties they saw this season. Utah, on their second PP in 10 minutes, convert: (Sergachev, wrister from the right point). The Mammoth have a 1-0 lead with 7 minutes (and counting) remaining in the 1st period.

Michael Arace @michaelarace1.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Kelly Sutherland and Brandon Schrader are a couple of whistle-happy refs tonight at the Nationwide Arena. Three penalties on the #CBJ so far, one wiped out because they admitted it was a mistake. The other two: A slash on Mateychuk (it was a mere touch) and a trip on Voronkov (a push and a dive).

Michael Arace @michaelarace1.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Moment of silence here at Nationwide Arena in honor of Lyle Odelein, the first captain of the #CBJ. Odelein died of an apparent heart attack at age 58 Friday. RIP, Odie.

The #CBJ had lost their previous four season openers, and six of their last seven.

Michael Arace @michaelarace1.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

It's a final from the Nationwide Arena: #CBJ 6, Buffalo 3. The Jackets (1-0) are tied for first place in the Metro and have one of the best records in the East.

Mathieu Olivier scores into an empty net with 2:07 remaining in regulation. That should ice it. #CBJ 6, BUF 3 before a sellout crowd of 18,207 at the Nationwide Arena. Coyle picks up his third assist of the game.

Michael Arace @michaelarace1.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Sean Monahan redirects a pass from Valeri Nichushkin. Power-play goal. #CBJ 5-3 lead with 5 minutes left and counting. Voronkov with the secondary assist. Nichushkin's first point as a Blue Jacket.

Michael Arace @michaelarace1.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Buffalo had a lot of the puck in the second period. #CBJ get to intermission with a 4-3 lead.

030

Michael Arace @michaelarace1.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Just seconds after a penalty to KJ (hooking) expires, Matthew Grzelczyk scores on a wicked one timer from a harrrrrd angle to draw the Buffalos to within 4-3 of the #CBJ. Terrific shot. There have been 24 SOGs total and seven goals so far.

050

Michael Arace @michaelarace1.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Knies is the first Blue Jacket to score two goals in his debut with the #CBJ. Twenty-five other Jackets have scored one goal in their debuts with the team.

Michael Arace @michaelarace1.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Knies, with two goals and an assist through 1.5 periods, has tied Artemi Panari's record for most points in a #CBJ debut. .... another penalty coming up on the Jackets here ...

At 7:45 of the second, Knies gets his second of the game on a redirection of an Andrae slapper to give the #CBJ a 4-2 llead over the Buffalos. Crowd is stoked now. KJ with the secondary assist.

Ruh-roh. Penalty on Sillinger (hook). As UPL vacates net, the puck slides all the way down to Buffalo end & Olivier taps it in the net. Sabres defenseman Zach Metsa takes umbrage, gloves drop and Olivier nearly decapitates the young man. Olivier: 2 for unsportsmanlike and 5 for fighting. 5-on-3 ...

140

Michael Arace @michaelarace1.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

After a turnover in own zone by D Emil Andrea, a new Jacket, Sabres get a goal back with a 2-on-1 mini rush and a fine shot by Jack Quinn. Scored at 1:25 of the middle period. #CBJ 3, BUF 2.

030

Michael Arace @michaelarace1.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Up-to-the-minute stats: Marchenko: 2 games, 38:04 TOI, 7 shots, 0 goals, 1 assist. Matt Knies: 1 period, 5:41 TOI, 2 shots, 1 goal, 1 assist. It's ridiculously early. I just couldn't help it. #CBJ #torontomapleleafs #shamalamadingdong

Michael Arace @michaelarace1.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

First period here at the Nationwide Arena endes with #CBJ holding a 3-1 lead of the Sabres of Buffalo. Big cheer from the crowd, albeit brief enough to get a head start for the beer.

080

Michael Arace @michaelarace1.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

... Aaaaaand with 76 seconds remaining in the first, Werenski lobs a shot form the left point that is redirected by Adam Fantilli past UPL. Review for a high stick? ... .,.. Aaaand the goal stands. Fantilli from Z and Knies. Three #CBJ with two points in the first period: Z, Knies, Coyle.

090

Michael Arace @michaelarace1.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Carlie Coyle has already had a helluva game before the first intermission. Coyle sets up Matthew Knies for Knies' first goal as a #CBJ, a one-timer from the hash marks. Power-play goal. Werenski had the secondary assist. It's 2-1 CBJ late first.
