The first period was great. Lots of forechecking. Lots of sustained possession in the offensive zone. Foligno got his 17th goal of the season to give Columbus a 1-0 lead.
Things went to hell in the second period. Everything good that happened in the first just...stopped happening. Columbus couldn’t maintain possession. Bob let in a series of soft goals and got pulled for Korpisalo after giving up his fourth goal early in the third.
With 5 minutes left Cam Atkinson got a goal but the game was already effectively over at that point.
So here’s the deal: there was a lot of frustration in the game thread, and I think we all need a chance to vent.
