The Columbus Blue Jackets barely showed up tonight, which means I have a recap I don’t want to write, and you probably don’t want to read.
It was a nationally televised game and it was a packed house at Nationwide Arena for the home finale. If you’ve watched enough of this team this season, you know how it usually goes when either of those things happen.
The Jackets could have clinched a playoff spot with a win and a Montreal loss. Instead, the Canadiens won and the Jackets got no points. Carolina won too, which leapfrogs them past Columbus.
