The Blue Jackets trailed 6-0 after the first period Wednesday, on their way to a 9-4 loss to the Buffalo Sabres.
so far this season, which is befitting of a team that entered Wednesday's game against the Buffalo Sabres in last place in the Eastern Conference and ranked 30th of 32 teams overall.
"We sucked pretty much the whole game," Laine said."You can definitely see that on the scoreboard. They were just pretty much playing with us the whole game." The Blue Jackets got an up-close view at exactly how Thompson has developed his 6-6 frame and turned into one of the more dangerous offensive players in the league. His first goal, a backhand that he lifted over Joonas Korpisalo, demonstrated the soft touch he has with the puck — a touch not often expected from players of his size.
"No," forward Johnny Gaudreau said when asked if he was shocked by the 6-0 score after the first."The way we started in the first, not really. We didn’t come out sharp and we took too many penalties. Left our goalies out to dry. ... Came out flat-footed. Took way too many penalties. Next thing you know, it’s 6-0."The Blue Jackets entered Wednesday's game averaging 8.25 penalty minutes per game.
Kuraly took one more penalty before the first period was over, though the Blue Jackets were able to kill that one off. They stayed out of the box in the second period, but the frustrations continued to bubble for Kuraly, who added a 10-minute misconduct to his stat line in the third period when he got into an altercation with Cozens.
