As I scrolled through my timeline last night, I noticed a couple of people getting a bit salty on this beloved website we call Twitter. To my surprise, the two people throwing the barbs were the Blue Jackets’ very own Jeff Rimer and former GM of the Blue Jackets, Doug Maclean. Let’s take a look at their tete-a-tete:
In the USA. No HNIC but Joe Micheletti with NBC is excellent . Solid hockey guy , love his game analysis.

It all started out harmless enough. But then…
Class act! Michelletti not you Doug! https://t.co/aVpgYlpKEX

Fire. Straight fire. I love everything about it. Whether it was in good nature or not isn’t for me to say, but boy did I enjoy the quick jab. It doesn’t end there though…
you thought I was when I hired you . Now ! Not so much !

The classic “I gave you your job” comeback. Not a lot can be said after something like that. How will Rimer react?
Not true. Just have to take a shot yourself sometime. Lord knows you hand them out like candy! https://t.co/0WDQvINDoy

Rimer takes a bit of the high-road here, deciding to put a stop to it before lines are crossed. I do like that he points out that Maclean loves dishing it out but can’t take it.
Can you tell that summer is going by too slowly? Nonetheless, I enjoyed the playful banter. I wish public figures in hockey did this type of thing more often.
