Last night the Torts era began in much the same way the Richards one ended. After going up 2-1 through the first period, and seemingly playing well, the slightest of momentum shifts caused a near total collapse and lead to a 3-2 defeat.
With that Columbus is now 0-8, only the second team in history to start the season with eight regulation losses, and the first since 1944.
By far the most infuriating thing about this team is that they actually start most games playing reasonably well. But at the first sign of any trouble whatsoever they completely fall apart defensively.
