Goal Jackets!!!!

1-0 Jackets 2:00 left in first period

Goal Ottawa
1-1
Scored on a delayed penalty.
Ottawa had six players on the ice.

Well that didnt take long for Ottawa to tie it up. Less then 60 seconds after the CBJ goal.

Tied at 1.
End of the first.

Jackets Power Play

That could be the worst execution I have ever seen on a power play.
They cannot handle passes, had several turnovers and almost gave up a shorthanded goal.

Ottawa power play.

Solid penalty kill by the Jackets.

Another Jackets power play.

Another worthless power play for the Jackets.

Jackets power play.

Jackets waste another power play.

Ottawa power play.

Still tied at 1 after two periods.

Jackets kill a penalty to begin the third period.

What is with the Jackets defense this year?

^^^ It seems like when it rains, it pours for them. If they give up one goal, it is soon followed by more.

Jackets come up empty on another power play.
At least they controlled the puck this time.

Great save by Mason.

Terrible call by the refs, giving Ottawa a power play.
A Blue Jacket hit a Senator from behind and got a penalty.
A Senator hit a Blue Jacket from behind and got nothing.
