Tonight the Nashville Predators defeated the Blue Jackets 4-3, in a game that the CBJ clawed back to a tie, but lost in the end. Coach Tortorella ascribes that to a bad line change; perhaps so. But all night long, it struck me that no matter what the CBJ did, the puck ended up on the tape for Nashville. Not in the skates, but on the tape. Perhaps that's what they did, but I didn't think our guys played that poorly. That's hockey, to be sure. Sometimes the bounces go your way, sometimes they don't. It would be hard for a team that won 16 straight to say they never got a bounce, so you swallow a night like tonight.
