Jesus, CBJ looks insane!!!
They surely frickin’ DO!!
Scary frickin insane!! Excellent physical hockey, that had an answer for EVERYTHING Tampa threw at them!
If Cooper is truly a good coach, then he ought to really be giving some heavy props to the Jackets, in the postgame comments.
Tampa may have sat on their laurels in the first two home games, but games three and four, they were in HOT WATER, and knew it!
I believe Tampa came out in 3 and 4, really trying and believing they could start gaining some momentum. THEY TRIED......real hard, IMHO!! Columbus just kept TAKING OVER the flow of the game, despite Tampa’s concerted efforts!!
Especially in games 3, and 4, it wasn’t a case of Tampa not playing so well, but rather Columbus NOT PERMITTING it to happen!! Tampa just got BEAT!!
Then in the 3rd period of game 4, in Columbus, we witnessed the Blue Jackets simply, and completely, break the will of every Tampa player on the bench!
It was like......🎵”Wake up, little Susie, Wake up”🎵. LOL 😂
(Almost felt a bit of sympathy for the Bolts at the end)....THEN I DIDNT!!!
It will, however, be very difficult for Columbus to maintain that level of intensity throughout their playoff run. But if they can find a way to re-tap into that well, just enough, then the sky’s the limit for them!!
