The Columbus Blue Jackets entered Game 4 with a series lead because of disciplined play, strong special teams and otherworldly play from Sergei Bobrovsky. They received a solid performance from Bob on Thursday night, but everything else went out the window as the Boston Bruins won 4-1 to tie the series at two games apiece.
CBJ coach John Tortorella tripped and fell on his way to the bench to start the game, which may have been an omen for how the rest of the night would play out. The normally sharp, responsible Blue Jackets looked uncharacteristically messy in Game 4 to the tune of 22 penalty minutes and 46 shots allowed.
