Despite some big trade deadline moves, the Blue Jackets are currently on the outside of the NHL playoff picture. SportsnetSpec breaks it down.
“We’ve just got to play better,” Blue Jackets defenseman Seth Jones told the Columbus Dispatch after the latest loss. “I mean, you look at the game tonight, are playing for nothing and we’re playing for something – and that’s not what it looks like.Kekalainen has assembled what appears to be an elite roster of players. But are they players ready to be an elite team?
“It’s been a funky time since the deadline, as far as losing ourselves a little bit,” Tortorella admitted. “Integration of the new players, I don’t think that’s been a problem. I think some guys have added pressure on themselves, when it’s said that now they’re supposed to win some rounds.” “It’s a strange dynamic with athletes. No matter how strong-minded they need to be to play at this level, playing different expectations for some guys, it sometimes affects their game,” Tortorella said. “They’re good players. These are good players. We’re down to short strokes now, with games left. We can talk about scoring chances… We have to find a way to will ourselves to results here.”
