Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#CBJ Monday Mailbag for March 23, 2026
Q: As the upcoming schedule gets tight with other teams also in the hunt for the playoffs, how do the Blue Jackets not lose their offensive spark while still keeping the defensive structure?
Keep a balance between attacking mindset and responsible defense by adjusting the system to create more chances without abandoning the core defensive structure; acknowledge that some games will require tighter defensive focus but maintain the push to generate offense.
#CBJ The Inside Edge for March 11, 2026 - Guests: Jeff Svoboda and Mike Haviland
Q: What makes the current Jackets' lineup effective, and how do you manage minutes and roles with injuries and depth players stepping up?
The discussion focuses on the importance of middle-line players and depth pieces who can win games through effort, PK discipline, and smart decisions, as well as adjusting to injuries and turnover.
#CBJ The Inside Edge for March 11, 2026 - Guests: Jeff Svoboda and Mike Haviland
Q: How did your path through the AHL and NHL influence your coaching philosophy, and what have you learned about adapting to new leadership?
Mike describes adapting to new bosses and systems, emphasizing the need to listen, stay flexible, and maintain a consistent voice at the table to drive buy-in from players.
#CBJ The Inside Edge for March 11, 2026 - Guests: Jeff Svoboda and Mike Haviland
Q: What did you find out about the game from your time as a player to now as a coach, and how did that transition shape your approach?
Mike explains that understanding every role on the team is crucial, from top-line players to bottom-line contributors, and that coaching success comes from communicating with all players and building a family mentality.
#CBJ Monday Mailbag for March 9, 2026
Q: What are the implications of a universal minutes policy for players like Fantelli and Marchenko?
The host argues that if a coaching policy is to be applied, it should be comprehensive and consistent for all players, ensuring accountability and maintaining team discipline across lines, while acknowledging individual circumstances and line combinations.
