When will something be done?

Fortuntaly, I had my own game last night so I wasnt able to see or hear the game. (At least I won, and did what was expected of me.. making saves!) But on the other hand, I really didnt want to because of what I expected, another Blue Jackets loss
I still havent heard exactly what happended but it sounds like it was a typcial BJ game and Denis performance.
I did take a look at the Arizona Republic to get their story:

Tired Coyotes sting hapless Blue Jackets

The bad news for the Coyotes on Sunday was they had to play another game less than 24 hours after a thrilling and exhausting shootout victory at San Jose.
The good news was they had to play the Columbus Blue Jackets, the NHL's worst team.

Five Coyotes scored goals, and backup goalie David LeNeveu made 23 saves to lead Phoenix to a 5-1 victory at Glendale Arena - tying their most lopsided triumph of the season

Mike Johnson and Ladislav Nagy notched power-play goals in the first period, but Zbynek Michalek scored the key goal with a minute left in the second period that gave Phoenix a 3-1 lead 52 seconds after Columbus had pulled to within 2-1.

Blue Jackets coach Gerard Gallant agreed.

"I'm not happy about that goal at all," Gallant said. "We were running around, bad coverage . . . We needed to play hard in the second to come back. It was a tough goal to give up."

The Blue Jackets, a k a the franchise that has never beaten the Coyotes in Arizona in nine tries, made the game interesting, briefly, when 18-year-old rookie Gilbert Brule blew a slap shot by LeNeveu for his first of what likely will be many NHL goals.

Boyd Devereaux scored a third-period goal to end a six-game scoreless drought, and former Blue Jackets star Geoff Sanderson capped the scoring with 13:46 left in the game.
Sanderson, who anchored the Blue Jackets for four years before being traded to Phoenix early this season, said scoring against his former team was no big deal.

"Unfortunately, it didn't mean a whole lot," Sanderson said. "We had control of the game and it was pretty loose . . . It was just gravy for our team. They're having a tough year. I've been there with them through that, but this is obviously the low point I think of their franchise history, so I really do feel for those guys."

I'm a 48 year old beer league goalie, but I think I could do better.
Mr Mac, I plead with you. DO SOMETHING NOW. This seasion is lost, you must do some housecleaning. You have an very important, but very disgruntled fan base.

Yes, it can get worse. I love how Doug was all smiles when he acquired Federov. Like that was the season-saving move he'd been waiting for. Whatever, I can't watch anymore of these travesties. Not only are the BJs flat out rotten this year, but we're the butt of everyone's jokes now.
