For many Blue Jackets fans this last few games since the streak has been hard, as the team is not playing particularly well. Personally I think this kind of thing is normal after a streak of that magnitude, but there are some underlying issues that erode the teams ability to play the smothering style of defense that they played during the streak. It is related to the injuries in the defensive corps, and it was illustrated last night very clearly (i.e. even I saw it).
Dalton Prout is a sturdy, defensive defenseman, and I will always love him for that one-punch knock down of Milan Lucic, which settled his hash with the Blue Jackets.
