Q: Why was the Brooklyn hipster better at swimming than skating?
A: He liked the ice before it was cool.
The Blue Jackets are a team which appears to be struggling in every game. Flu has torn through the locker room. 2⁄3 of the regular defensemen are out with injury for an indeterminate amount of time. And yet...those same Jackets have won 3 of the last 4 and are 5-5 since the famous 16 game win streak. It’s not ideal, but treading water is good enough for now. After just 2 more games they’ll get a much-needed respite during the All Star break.
