Zak MacMillan: CBJ - Even and Hurting Blue Jackets conclude preseason with a 4-4 record. They also were 2-1 in the Prospects Challenge. However, they are down five forwards to injury days before the regular season begins.

Was able to get intermittent streaming for last night's game. It wasn't pretty. The defense was MIA. On one goal it was 1 (Pitt) on 2 (CBJ) and neither CBJ player attacked the Pitt skater, allowing him to skate right in on Tarasov. Amazing!!

Unbelievable...

looking at that lineup on opening night, season is over before it started . I mean, with the loss of Gaudreau , this already put a strain the offensif......but this...this is unwatchable.

I have


Johnson-Monahan-Marchenko

Van Riemsdyk- Fantilli-Labanc

Malatesta-Sillinger- Chinakov

Gambell-Kuraly-Olivier

Werensky-Severson
Provorov-Jiricek
Harris-Gudbranson

Merzlikis
Tarasov

Alex,

Another site had Johnson on the 3rd pair instead of Harris.

I'm not sure what else can be done with the injuries and everything else. The last week of training camp is a disaster, usually the roster gets to play together for four or five games before the injuries start.

Addendum: I wonder what the over/under on shots will be this season, 15?

The CBJ needs to play like a lower half club in the Premier League table playing City: 5 guys behind the puck and ice it all night long hoping one guy can get a breakaway and score.
