The Columbus Blue Jackets lost their eighth straight game tonight, losing to the Tampa Bay Lightning by a final score of 3-1. The game was not actually aesthetically pleasing, with big chunks of time passing with nothing much happening. With that being said, my bar is pretty low as of late, so showing effort and not getting blown out makes this one of the better games the team has played lately.
As I watched the game, I kept asking myself if the Jackets were playing well or if the Lightning were playing down to their competition.
