As my compadres at DKM Hockey remind me often, I am an old fart. For those of you that don't recognize the tag line, it's from the old baseball poem 'Casey at the Bat'. To make a long story short, the poem ends:
There is no joy in Mudville, mighty Casey has struck out.
So, when Mrs. Gallos uttered those words on the way out of the arena, I had to use them. For it captures the essence of Blue Jackets fandom. Another season in the tank because they can't play to win. Too many conservative, defensive minded coaches, making them afraid to make a mistake.
