No, they didn't want Columbus to McTank for McDavid, they wanted games ended in overtime. The combination of an untimely penalty and the long change from switching ends conspired to do in the CBJ in overtime, as they lost to the Carolina Hurricanes 3-2, to be a mere point ahead of lowly Buffalo for last place in the NHL.
A quick thought before I bail, as this is a crazy weekend, and I will be on the run. The old school philosophy for building a competitive team in the NHL is to build up the middle, starting with goal tending, and then centermen. Who remains on IR for this team? Goal tenders and centermen mostly. Until the middle of the ice is beefed up, it's going to be tenuous. On the other hand, we now have the annual 'drop to the bottom of the league before running to the playoffs' out of the way, and we can focus on the running to the playoffs part of the equation.
Gotta run. Big night tonight for Columbus on a lot of fronts.
GO JACKETS!!
