Oh man. Last night’s third period could not have come at a worse time in light of what I wrote below. But I’m writing this disclaimer to let you know the bottom is largely staying in tact and the title remains, for one game does not constitute a season.
That meltdown was bound to happen because sports (I feel somewhat better saying that Thursday’s game against the Hurricanes evens out last night’s loss since the Blue Jackets overcame a two-goal deficit Thursday but I digress) but the fifth goal in Saturday’s game was the all-too typical power play response in which they capped off an 0-for-5 night and the Flyers regained the lead on a short-handed goal — this season the Jackets have four power play goals through 11 games while giving up three short-handed tallies.
