Just a minute into the third period the Chicago Blackhawks found themselves up with a lead of 4-2 against the Columbus Blue Jackets. I remember thinking to myself at that time that this team was taking the next step we talked about earlier this week, but that all changed after four third period goals for the Jackets.
The Blackhawks did not play a complete game last night. After a five-game win streak, at some point, the team was going to fall off the streak, but losing the way they did last night was not fun to see.
