Mike Cornell, who has been battling a rare form of cancer for nearly a decade, doesn't know how much more time he has left. He has been a fan of the Crew and the Blue Jackets since the formation of both franchises. With host Michael Arace of TheDisrespected.com, he reflects on devoting some of his passion for life to sports. He uses "fan" as a verb, says, "You've got to fan HARD." We need more Mike Cornells in our lives. What a delightful human being. #cbj #crew96 #cancer
S1 E24: Aaron Portzline of The Athletic joins host Michael Arace of TheDisrespected.com for some mid-summer house cleaning. Is there an offer sheet for Adam Fantilli looming (not likely)? Jarmo Kekalainen invites John Davidson to join the Buffalo Sabres front office (sounds familiar). Why are pending restricted free agents hesitant to negotiate contract extensions (money)? There's a new All-Star Game format (nobody cares). And much more ... #cbj #nhl
S1 E23: Aaron Portzline of The Athletic is back to talk to host Michael Arace of thedisrespected.com. The offer sheet tendered by the Philadelphia Flyers rocked the #nhl. Is Columbus Blue Jackets center Adam Fantilli the next target? #cbj GM Don Waddell remains busy with his Fantilli and the rest of his restricted free agents. Then, there's Norris Trophy winner Zach Werenski and the weirdness behind his alleged trade request -- followed by his statement that he "wants to win in Columbus." What will the Jackets' lineup look like next year? We've got a lot of ground to cover in this one ...
After a whirlwind week of reports that #cbj defenseman Zach Werenski wanted out of Columbus, and that he'd nixed a trade to the #dallasstars, Werenski made a statement saying "I want to win in Columbus." A day after the reigning Norris Trophy winner made this announcement, Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell met the local media.
ESPN's longtime NHL/college hockey voice, John Buccigross, is back to talk to host Michael Arace of TheDisrespected.com. #cbj Norris Trophy winner Zach Werenski looks like he's angling for a trade and we go deep on the subject. Should ownership and management say, "No, we're not trading you," and go public? Oh, and then there's Kirill Marchenko, whose agent is stirring up trade talk. Can the Jackets afford to lose their best player and top goal scorer? We also discuss the Columbus Blue Jackets' first-round pick, Oscar Hemming, and former first-round pick Cayden Lindstrom.
S1 E22: For good or ill, Timothy, Matthew and Owen Arace came out of the womb as Blue Jackets fans. In their formative years, they were known within the household as a collective, the "Reign of Terror." In this latest Reign edition of Cannon Balls, they weigh in on the #cbj prior to the draft. There's not a surplus of hope here, not with the Zach Werenski question looming like a dark cloud. The show was recorded Wednesday night -- a day before the Jackets acquired winger Valeri Nichushkin from the Colorado Avalanche for three picks, and two days before the first round of the draft. #NHL #NHLDraft
Columbus Blue Jackets president of hockey operations/general manager meets the local media a day ahead of the first round of the NHL draft. Right off the hop, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic gets to the Zach Werenski question. #cbj #nhl #nhldraft
S1 E21: Aaron Portzline of The Athletic, the mayor of Jacketville, rejoins host Michael Arace of TheDisrespected.com to talk about the Stanley Cup grind, an unenjoyable final, Mike Babcock (!), the big month ahead for the #cbj and much, much more.
