The Columbus Blue Jackets, one month and some change into the season, find themselves in deep water. Out of 18 games played, they’ve won only three in regulation. They’re three points clear of dead last in the NHL as of this writing. Their power play is a dog’s breakfast.
All of those should sound the alarm, even this early in the season and even showing signs of progress. The Blue Jackets have a bigger problem than being bad, though: they’re boring.
This post could end here, with that sentiment, and you’d get the point.
