The Blue Jackets begin their annual trip to Western Canada tonight, with a matchup in Calgary against the Flames.
The Jackets are looking for a bounce-back performance after a very disappointing effort in their last game. It might be an understatement to say that Sunday's game was lackadaisical from the guys in Union Blue.
Let me be clear: they stunk, and deserved every bit of that loss. If not for their goaltender, this would have been a blowout.
Despite taking a 3-2 lead with less than 8 minutes left against the Islanders, the Jackets failed to even earn a point after surrendering 2 goals in 29 seconds late in the third.
