Comedy CowPies in the 'Lumbus

[forty_three]

Not sure if the outdoor game had anything to do with it but the Jackets have looked like a team running on fumes for the last couple of weeks.

Has all the earmarks of a young team that improved faster than most (including themselves probably) expected, then just ran out of gas down the stretch.

Doubtful that happens again. The Jackets have a really nice future, IMO.

Zach ran out of gas for sure. He needs a rest as he's never really played a full season in his career.

I would have expected the injured guys coming back to provide some jump, but Jenner has been less than stellar. Another big issue is Provorov and Olivier playing hard worried about their futures here. Olivier got signed an Provorov stayed put, and both have dropped off a cliff.

And our goalie had another baby, and the wife and baby wound up in Intensive Care. And our other goalie is apparently completely cooked.

It's been a fun ride, they way over-achieved. Need to fill out the forwards (Bennett and Boeser, please), get a vet backup in net and next year should be much, much better.
