On this episode, we are in denial after the Blue Jackets drop both games against the New York Islanders this week. We discuss the Blue Jackets' inconsistent play throughout both games and discuss some of the game's best performers, such as Emil Bemstrom and Justin Danforth. We take a look ahead to the Blue Jackets' first matchup of two against the Boston Bruins, where Nick Foligno will celebrate his 1000th game with his former teammates in attendance. Finally, we discuss Ohio State Women's Hockey and their National Championship, along with its impact on the sport.
