The Columbus Blue Jackets are a good team. They have some real talent up front, some great puck-movers and smart defenders in back, and a great goalie as the cherry on top. Their sweep of the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round certainly wasn’t a fluke.
Having said that, the main reason the Bruins aren’t up 2-0 in this second-round series is because they’ve done an excellent job of gift-wrapping chances for Columbus’ top talent to bury.
Every team profits off of turnovers, sure. But for Columbus, turnovers or penalties have been, maybe with one exception, the only way they’ve been able to score against the Bruins.
