Carolina Hurricanes 2 Columbus Blue Jackets 1
Defense, Special Teams, Goal Tending, and Brind’Amour with 2 goals. Game Over.
Columbus Coach Gallant said it best: “They’re playing as a team, that’s why they’re winning, that’s why they’re leading their division,… “They deserved the win, with a good goalie and good defense.”
I remember at one point in the game seeing Brindy get pissed off at Jody (45) and I just knew from that point on that he was going to have a great game. The whole team played well even in the 1st period where there was no scoring they were putting a lot of shots on net.
The crowd last night was pretty weak..I guess many people aren’t sure where Columbus is or even what the blue jackets are….
I expect a big crowd Saturday as New Jersey has always been a hated team in this area going back to the days of Keith prime (glad he’s gone) and Scott Stevens Knocking the Crap out of Ron Francis in the Playoff Series some years ago.
I cannot wait for that game Saturday. Tailgating maybe in a snowstorm and watching hockey… I expect to see a Carolina Hurricanes 5 goal game, with a win of course.
