Game Preview: Penguins vs. Blue Jackets

The struggling Columbus Blue Jackets come to Pittsburgh for a game against the Penguins

The Opponent

Wooo boy. What canyou say about the Columbus Blue Jackets ? They started the year with a dreadful 0-7-0 start that cost Todd Richards his job and tapped John Tortorella, of all people, to replace him. Since then they're 4-5-0, which is some progress but given the terrible goaltending they were getting, it was just a matter of time before they stabilized somewhat.

No surprise, there's been no happily ever after with Torts, who was so displeased with the Jackets at practice yesterday he stopped it to make them all do pushups on the ice for punishment.
