Game 71: Vancouver

Vancouver 4 - Columbus 3
22-42-7, 5th in Central Division, 12 pts. out of 29th in the NHL

The visiting Columbus Blue Jackets dropped a 4-3 decision in regulation to the Vancouver Canucks at the Rogers Centre.

No "5 Thoughts" tonight...not because it was a terrible game, though.  It actually was a decent game from a CBJ perspective; they were skating uphill against a superior opponent all night yet still kept it to a one-goal game.  It had the potential to be downright embarrassing yet wasn't.  Well, unless you were Nikita Nikitin.

Nope, the "5 Thoughts" aren't coming because of the on-ice performance.  They aren't coming because it's too flipping late and I'm tired after a long day.  You're welcome to add your thoughts in the comments.

NEXT UP: The good night's sleep spoiled Western Canada road trip concludes tomorrow (Sunday) night in Calgary at 8PM EST (!!!!!).
