Surprised #CBJ coach Dean Evason wasn’t a finalist for the Jack Adams Award as coach of the year, which is chosen by the National Broadcasters Association. The Jackets didn’t make the playoffs, but were universally blown off as a contender, dealt with unspeakable tragedy and multiple key injuries.

Here's how I voted for the 2025 Norris Trophy. I'll take some heat for not putting Makar first, but Werenski's right there & played more. NORRIS (top D w/greatest all-around ability): Zach Werenski, #CBJ Cale Makar, #Avs Quinn Hughes, #Canucks Victor Hedman, #TBLightning Evan Bouchard, #Oilers

Finalists for the 2025 Norris Trophy will be revealed by the NHL on Tuesday, probably mid-to-late morning. Stay tuned ... Werenski has a great shot ... and should be, IMO ... one of them. #CBJ

Monsters start the Calder Cup Playoffs tonight, facing off against the Toronto Marlies in a three-game first-round set. Tonight's game is in Cleveland, the next two (game 3 if necessary) are in Toronto. Jet Greaves and Denton Mateychuk are back with the CLE -> #CBJ

No #CBJ listed on the "First 16" U.S. roster announcement for next month's world championships in Denmark and Sweden. Also, a report Wednesday out of Latvia says that G Elvis Merzlikins has declined an offer to play for his country this time, citing personal matters and family as the reason.

Don Waddell answers one offseason biggie during his season wrap press conference. He doesn’t anticipate buying out any contracts, which means all the speculation about the #CBJ buying out the final two years of Elvis Merzlikins’ contract is highly unlikely.

#CBJ coach Dean Evason was moved to near tears speaking about Johnny Gaudreau and what this season’s been like playing for the memory of the Gaudreau brothers. He also finished his comments with this ->

Jet Greaves' shutout streak ends 173:38 after Alex Ovechkin scored on him 1:10 into the Blue Jackets' 4-1 Sunday in Washington. It's 5-1 #CBJ as they put a bow on this season.

End of two here in Columbus and it's 5-0 #CBJ after a five-goal second period. Jet Greaves continues to be razor sharp in net for the fifth straight game.

Prior to Werenski's goal to make it 5-0, Jet Greaves made another batch of impressive stops, which prompted chants of "Jet! Jet! Jet!" from the crowd. #CBJ

Now it's 4-0 #CBJ ... Kuraly from the RW circle with 4:46 left in the second vs #Isles

Looked like a 4-0 lead for a second, but Van Riemsdyk was ruled to have deflected Gudbranson's shot with a high stick above the crossbar ... from above the circles. It remains 3-0 #CBJ getting late into the second.

Sillinger with a tremendous individual effort to poke a puck away, chase it down, retrieve it after it was knocked away, get it back and then rip a wrister inside the right (far) post to give the #CBJ a 1-0.

0-0 after one, some Grade As both ways. Thus far, Greaves and Hogberg are up to the challenge in net. #CBJ #Isles

Kind of a rough shift there for the young Mateychuk, which ends with him in the penalty box for tripping. Score is 0-0 with 7:32 left in the first. #CBJ

The only lineup change for #CBJ is rookie Jack Williams drawing into the lineup for Zach Aston-Reese, who skated but has an injury that will keep him out tonight. Evason emphasized that ZAR would be playing if not for the injury issue. Jet Greaves back in net. Merzlikins skated at the Ice Haus.

APR 16, 2024 was our final game of last season. My friend, Paul, bravely fought cancer. Per his brother, he was aware enough that night to know the #CBJ won their final game. He was gone by the next morning. Tomorrow's the 1-year anniversary of his passing. He would have loved this season.

The Canadiens are making the playoff field with a -20 goal differential. The #CBJ after their five-game rally going into their season finale tomorrow are even.

And that'll do it. Thursday's season finale will be the last game for the 2024-25 Blue Jackets, ending what's been a memorable and valuable developmental season just shy of the playoffs. #CBJ eliminated by Montreal tonight -> www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

Had to figure this would be the case. The Canes did it last year to end the season in Columbus, albeit without another team's playoff hopes riding on it. #CBJ

3-0 #CBJ ... Marchenko shoots it off Fantilli and the kid has his 30th goal of the season 3-0.

Look on the bright side, though ... if the #CBJ kill this penalty off, there's a chance Fantilli steps out of the box into a breakaway?

Fantilli sends one over the glass from the d-zone with 9:05 left 3rd. Yikes. #Flyers to the PP trailing #CBJ 2-0. Another huge kill coming up here for the Jackets.

Fantilli's stick snapped in half there, so he was defending with his feet. It worked. Period over and it's 2-0 #CBJ with one period left to again extend their playoff viability.

Monahan with the assist on Johnson's goal. He's got 0-2-2 late in the second. #CBJ
