The Blue Jackets have been busy, busy people. Thursday brought physicals and testing. Friday and Saturday included the two mile run, and arduous skating drills and scrimmages. Sunday feature home-and-home games with the Blues, while Monday had them traveling to Boston to take on the Bruins. NHL Network carried the game, providing some with an opportunity for some bonus hockey.
As John Tortorella so eloquently stated on Sunday, the pre-season “doesn’t mean a thing.” That holds true whether it is a win or loss, and the fact that the Blue Jackets garnered a victory in Beantown does not change the equation.
