#CBJ Bowness on Sunday L to Boston:
“When I see teams skating down the middle of the ice … that's not us at all. 
That was definitely addressed. There were times we had three forwards on the same side. That never works. When I see a team coming through the middle, I'm upset.”

Blue Jackets Monday Gathering: After another kick in the teeth, Bowness will stay ‘very positive’

Is the pressure of success is simply too much for the Blue Jackets, collectively, to handle?

The Athletic

There is a simplified path to the playoffs for the #CBJ that requires focus on only Columbus and two other teams:

A) Hold off the Flyers
B) Get two more points than the Isles in the last eight (seven for NYI) games.

If they do that, they clinch a first round series vs. PIT.
