Blue Jackets settle into NHL basement with lopsided loss to Carolina

New York Times  

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The best that can be said about the Blue Jackets’ latest lopsided loss on Thursday is that it brought them — limping, gagging and hacking — to the midpoint of a miserable season. Let’s start late in the second, when the Blue Jackets were down 2-1 but playing kinda/sorta OK when Carolina’s Martin Necas put them on a power-play at 13:53. Chatfield skated past Bemstrom like he was standing still and had enough steam to zoom past defenseman Tim Berni for a clean look at Blue Jackets goaltender Joonas Korpisalo. A half-second later, Blue Jackets forward Kent Johnson was trying to clear the puck out of harm’s way when he instead fired it directly into the net past a maskless Korpisalo, who was expecting play to be blown dead. “The rule states it’s a continuation, and it’s so bang-bang,” Blue Jackets coach Brad Larsen said.
