Earlier in the season, I provided a first quarter assessment of the Columbus Blue Jackets. That was a quite easy task as the Blue Jackets stormed out of the gate to a franchise best 14-6-0 record.
But ever since the Jackets? historic start, they have gone 6-11-3 through the next 20 games and have fallen to 13th in the Western Conference
I tried to be optimistic that a repeat of last season?s debacle under former head coach Ken Hitchock wouldn?t happen again, but I?m sad to report that while not a free-fall to that level, the Blue Jackets have once again struggled into the halfway point of their regular season under current head coach Scott Arniel.
In a manner similar to last quarter?s assessment, I offer my insights both for the season, to date, as well as how the Blue Jackets have fared during their most recent 20 games of the season (Games 21-40).�And while their overall mark is better than at this time last season, the ghosts of late-November?s, December?s and early January?s have resurfaced once again.
