Columbus shoves New Jersey Devils’ harsh reality in their face

The Columbus Blue Jackets not only embarrassed the New Jersey Devils on the scoreboard Saturday night, but the Jackets are also doing a great job at making the Devils look bad from an organizational standpoint.

New Jersey’s rebuild began five years ago, or it was supposed to after the Devils ran general manager Lou Lamoriello out of town in favor of Ray Shero. Fewer than five seasons later, Shero is out as GM and the team is left with zero direction.

Columbus, on the other hand, was supposed to be bidding for a lottery pick this season.
