The CBJ are:
Tied for 16th in points-34.
They rank 9th in goals for
They rank 25th in goals against
They are 15th in goals differential. They are even.
They are 25th on the PP
They are 17th on the PK
I guess all of the "bounces" and "luck" have really gone against them so far.
Of their 9 remaining games this month, only 2 are against teams currently in a playoff berth position in the standings. Add in the first 2 games of the new year and it's 9 of 11 versus opponents outside the playoff line. If the the CBJ can't make hay against these doormats, it's going to be a long, long season.
Jones’ goal is his 36th with the Blue Jackets, tying him with Jack Johnson for fourth on the franchise list. Only Rostislav Klesla (41) and Fedor Tyutin (39) have more. Here’s the catch: Jones has played 217 games with Columbus, half as many as any of the guys mentioned in this paragraph. Klesla played 515, Tyutin 553 and Johnson 445
The Blue Jackets have lost four consecutive to the Canucks overall and five consecutive in Nationwide Arena. They haven’t beaten Vancouver in regulation since March 19, 2015. The last win in Nationwide was on Oct. 20, 2013, when Marian Gaborik, R.J. Umberger and Ryan Johansen scored for Columbus in a 3-2 win.
According to moneypuck.com, Virtanen’s shot had just a 1.5 percent chance of becoming a goal.
Eh, after going back and watching the highlight, I still think he was out of position regardless. He tried to play the initial shot, which was going wide, to the point where it would have left him unable to get back in position if anything other than the shot hitting him happened, which is what occurred. 3rd goal obviously should've been stopped.The second goal deflected twice; that's why he was out of position. Not much he could do there.
The third, OTOH, yeah.
Fair enough. I don't think of that as a bad decision per se, but I can see why you might.Eh, after going back and watching the highlight, I still think he was out of position regardless.

I have to peel back on my post claiming the top line spent too much time in their own end. Alison's stats in today's The Athletic tell me more favorable story on their offensive work. My eyes - for the first time - deceived me.....(But it was good wine).Don't disagree about two goals being lucky. Suggest you read a prior post on the second being a goal that deflected its way end. I would disagree if you are saying they didn't allow a lot of play in their own end.

CBJ spent the entire third period trying to kill off the time and hold on for the win.
Worst thing CBJ did was try to make it family friendly and over PC.You could see their third goal coming from the face-off.
CBJ spent the entire third period trying to kill off the time and hold on for the win. Minute by minute they lost momentum and became more desperate to "not lose".
I have become completely cynical and bitter when listening to the CBJ marketing; "Come and see your team as they enter a critical six (no five...., no four) game homestand." They do not play as if it were critical, they do not play as if they were at home at all.
And people are beginning to notice.
Here's a Problem: The Blue Jackets Don’t Have A Home Ice Advantage at Nationwide Arena
Asked my wife if she wanted to go to any of the home games in the next two weeks, and she answered "Why? They don't play well at home"
The head coach says otherwise.I think folks are importing this narrative from previous games. It's not what happened last night. You can look at the charts and see where the play was over the course of the game. In the third the play was largely in Vancouver's end. The Canucks just got very lucky.

He was interview on 97.1 the fan today and talked about it, around 2pmDoes he? I watched last night's presser and he said the team was better, Vancouver just got lucky.
Perhaps he was referring to one or two shifts where Vancouver got in our zone, and the plays on those shifts. The third as a whole wasn't a bad period at all.

The great Nik Lidstrom once was quoted as saying "Great teams should be upset at losing two in a row, and never, ever dream of losing three in a row."
This "it's only 5 games" BS is indicative of the classic CBJ fan mindset.
You should have heard us boo the heck out of that NASCAR driver!Worst thing CBJ did was try to make it family friendly and over PC.
Where are the “you suck” chants after goals and that sort of thing. The booing when certain players touch the puck. I’m 21 and I miss those days.
sounds like an ideal time for a "holiday" trade.If Andy is out with concussion they need to call some scoring from Monsters, Sedlack is not a fill for Andy.
Hello Miles!If this team is a Stanley Cup contender, I am Miles Davis.
