Last night's 5-3 loss against the San Jose Sharks is the kind of game that happens to a team during a year of hockey. San Jose was hot, and while they were coming off a back to back, the Blue Jackets were playing their third game in 4 days, and their fourth in 6 days. So energy was a bit of a wash early. Late in the third period a veteran team took advantage of a younger team, and before you looked around the Blue Jackets third period lead was gone.
In the grand scheme of things, this is a game to take lessons from, and get better.
