Blue Jackets Score: October 25, 2016

Game 5 / Check out the whole project here

Here are 2 things about West Coast hockey: they play quick (pun intended) hockey and aren't afraid to hit. I don't know if they have their water swapped with Red Bulls, but if you can't keep up it is noticeable. And even though we lost in the end, CBJ definitely kept up and more. With only 1 penalty and lots of tight passing and defense, we looked pretty solid on the ice. Which made the OT loss even more painful.

Game Highlights:
-Another 0-0 first period that showed good offensive and defensive time
-Saad scored his first goal of the season (and the game)
-Werenski continues to build a case for being a slingshot with the puck (no goals tonight though)
-Currently ranked 5th in the NHL for penalty kills (and we are killing it)
