The Columbus Blue Jackets did not play their best game last night. There were flashes of good play, mostly in the first and third period. Sergei Bobrovsky was his typical Vezina caliber self. The second period was the teams weakness, and it has been all season. Unfortunately this is the playoffs so mistakes are magnified and the hurting runs a bit deeper. It’s tough right now, but don’t panic just yet.

I’ll skip the lip service that the Jackets played well and we should be perfectly content and optimistic for the future.
