Blue Jackets Score: November 12, 2016

Game 13 / Check out the whole project here

CBJ are making a good habit of scoring the first goal of the game quickly. Ganger put it in the net 2:34 after the puck was dropped last night at Nationwide. And when The Blues tied it later in the period, Foligno responded with a goal of his own within 8 seconds. Fast forward 27 minutes and the cannon continued to fire 5 consecutive times. It was starting to look like another Montreal game, but with one big difference: we were getting lucky. Instead of taking calculated shots, thought out passes and setting up simple but impactful plays, we were throwing the puck at the goal and it happened to go in. 4 of the final 8 CBJ goals were scored from deflections off Blues players. Let's keep the cannons going, but maybe they are a touch more planned than lucky.

Game Highlights:
