There isn’t really much to talk about after the Carolina Hurricanes were handed a 6-0 loss at home to the Columbus Blue Jackets Thursday night.
Because I mean, the Jackets had lost their last five in a row, were missing one of their leading scorers due to COVID protocol and hadn’t beaten the Canes in their last five matches.
But we should have all seen this coming right?
Even with the Canes missing their top defenseman and having been off for so many days, there was a force on Columbus’ side much more powerful than any of those: A nationally televised game.
