I’ve recently noticed a darker mood among the Columbus Blue Jackets faithful in recent weeks. Whether it’s on Twitter, in the Cannon comments, or even in the writer’s Slack channel (/waves at MrSwift), there is not as much hope for the short or long term future of this team. Each loss is met with doom-and-gloom fatalism.
And yet, this team still sits near the top of the Metro Division standings. I’m reminded of a piece our own Ryan Real wrote last season: The Blue Jackets Are Good, But It’s Not Enough. Notice that it was published on December 19, 2017.
