Last week I wrote about my optimistic view of the first four games of the season. Things really didn’t look that bad, the Jackets were controlling possession, while producing more scoring chances than they’re opponents. At the time it seemed like the win-less record was more a result of bad luck and a soon to end slow start in goal for Sergei Bobrovsky, and if Columbus continued to play the same way things would inevitably get better.
Well two games and three days later and things look a little different. Over the weekend, including Friday night, the Boys in Blue were out-shot in both games by a total of 64-50.
