The Blue Jackets took 3 of 4 possible points on a weekend back to back against Tampa and Florida, beating a talented Bolts team and falling in a shootout with the Panthers. I thought the Jackets carried the play last night, in spite of lacking an edge to their skating, and peppered Roberto Luongo with shots. Sometimes you see that, when we are just flinging pucks from the outside, and we generate lots of shots. But I thought the net front presence was good, and the Jackets generated quality scoring chances, however, Luongo stood tall. So it goes.
The ageless Jagr scored one he partially whiffed on, and Brandon Saad scored on a blind, backhand that he hit very hard it seemed out of pure frustration.
