Down 5-2 with less than 11 minutes left, the Blue Jackets drew within one on Vyborny's rebound goal with 3:58 remaining. They almost tied it with just under two minutes left when goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin stopped Vyborny's shot from the high slot.

We almost tied!...We almost tied!...We almost tied!...there that is my new cheer...

Another too little too late performance by the CBJ. Completely out played in the first, played an even 2nd and then tried to pour it on in the 3rd. They need to play complete games to compete and win. All in all this has been a very disappointing season. Only about 2 months of hockey left this year cause I see no "bonus" hockey this year boys and girls. They have yet to show anything to prove otherwise. Too inconsistent!

Inconsistency, inconsistency. It makes you sick sometimes, we just cant put a string of games together, much less a string of periods.

And what makes this so sickening is that there is no excuse for it. With the talent they have in this line up it just boggles the mind of how BAD they can play sometimes!
