Expectations were not sky-high going into the season for the Columbus Blue Jackets. Most fans would have been satisfied with a team that showed improvement and growth and forgiving of a poor result in the standings as long as the team’s trajectory remained pointed upward. The signing of Johnny Gaudreau in the off-season did raise those expectations slightly, even bringing some to believe that the playoffs could be in sight, but most believed that there would be one more year’s wait before a highly competitive team would come out of Columbus. Unfortunately, the team’s performance through just eight games has some fans eyeing the panic button.
Where is the accountability in Columbus?
