Tonight the Blue Jackets lost to a team that deserved to win, the Washington Capitals, by a score of 6-3. It was closer than that, but it wasn't. Barry Trotz has this Capitals team playing at a peak performance level, and I emphasize the word team. The Capitals created chances for their shooters that gave them time and space, and they cashed in on those chances. The CBJ played well, especially in the first period, but the Capitals seized their chances, and converted with shooters isolated on a rusty goal tender. A hot Bobrovsky would have gotten some of those, but he wouldn't have had them all, and the outcome would not have changed.
