  • Breath of fresh air

    Jeremy and Laura have a great show week in and week out. While they are extremely up to date with everything CBJ, they also have thorough knowledge of the Blue Jackets past history. It's comforting as a long time fan to listen to 2 individuals who "get it" from the early 2000 days to the post 2019 sweep.
