Paul Berthelot: Post Battle ECQF Game #1 – Jackets can’t capitalize on strong first period Blue Jackets lose Game 1 3-1.

Didn't see a second of the game due to work, but it sounds like another great effort wasted just like the last month of the season. I trust the coaching staff to have the right players on the ice, but maybe the wrong third pair was out there for two of the three or three of the three goals they scored.

It's one game, but they need to get off the schnide offensively.

Time for the BOO Jackets to step up to the big time. They are not playing the JV squad

As stated in ek's blogg , this was all show and no bite , once again, and it's frustrating.

If last night was any indication, then it's over before it started , valiant effort, but I cringe at the idea they cannot beat Pittsburgh's B team.

Other than the 3 minutes or so of the 2nd period I thought it was a good effort. They just needed to capitalize on some of the early scoring opportunities and it could have been a different outcome. And please Torts, don't play that 3rd D pair again, that was brutal. Oh, and PIT fans apparently think CHECKING is a penality.
GO JACKETS!

The series is about to get better for you as it looks like you'll see more of MAF. He's actually great at home, but TERRIBLE on the road.

Losing Letang drastically hurts the Pens' chances of going deep, but I wouldn't call this their B Team.

You sound like a Flyers fan.
