Columbus Blue Jackets (Official Thread)

pittsburgh showed that it clearly has a different level than the jackets

not to say they can't win, but the last 30 minutes are how the series would be expected to go. going to take something special to beat them, but upsets have happened before

They might win a game or two especially in Columbus - had they won tonight it might have been a huge leap forward them but I don't think they are there yet.

As soon as it went to 3-1 I texted my buddy (a Pens fan) and told him they'd cough up that lead in the next 20 minutes. Little did I know it would take just 1 minute for the Jackets to gag it away.

They looked tired. Young team who just doesn't know how to handle all of this. Hoping they can win at least one in this series. They MUST not take stupid penalties. I had heard about Crosby being a cry baby but never really saw it until this game. He's a fucking pussy.

Yeah they came out balls to the wall and looked great, but they shot their wad and it showed up immediately in the 2nd period. That happens with young teams.

Columbus doesn't quite have the scoring punch they need to win this series, but if they stay physical and be careful with the puck they could win a game or two. This is a great learning experience for the young kids on the roster - they are learning that it's a different type of intensity as well as learning how important it is to finish games out.

Looks like what happened in game 1 had a big effect on this team....playing scared and still not staying out of the box.....looks like curtains would be surprised if they win a game in this series now.

Penalties. Stupid penalties. This game is about over as it seems that the Pens can score at will on the PP. Jackets need to come out firing in the 2nd but it looks like the Pens just have way too much skill for the Jackets to handle. The playoffs really can bring out the warts on a team and the Jackets seem to have plenty right now.
