Patrick Kane, after scoring the tying goal in a wild 3 goal comeback, takes one of the most needless, stupid penalties I've ever seen late in the 3rd period, leading to a Minnesota goal & a regulation loss for Detroit with their season on the line. Can't believe it. #LGRW

#CBJ defenseman Zach Werenski with his thoughts on what ails the Blue Jackets right now. It boils down to being on the same page on the ice, and the Jackets aren't.

You know what…I BELIEVE. I refuse to accept that a team can go from the hottest team in the NHL since January to unable to play hockey overnight. It just doesn’t make sense. Forget the last week and LOCK IN. #CBJ

What will happen is this year’s #CBJ team will squeak into the playoffs even though they don’t deserve it, whereas last year’s team deserved to make it and was squeezed out. That’s the vibe right now.

Asked Rick Bowness about Kent Johnson this morning and what he wants to see. "Listen, when he gets the puck, he's gotta go to the open ice. He's an open ice player. Some guys can dangle their way through two or three bodies. He can't. He's gotta go to the open ice." #CBJ

Have gotten beat or given up points to every team you’ve been in the race with this season. Coming out hot in the first period to absolutely nothing the next 2. Injuries are piling up. They’re just doing it to themselves by not finishing games again and that’s the frustrating part. The playoffs are gonna be gone because of a couple last second goals. I hope it’s not the case but at the moment the other teams seem hungrier than #CBJ

#CBJ center Charlie Coyle postgame: "It's up to us, no matter what happens, to stay on it. We can’t be turning the puck over like that and giving them easy transition. It just wasn’t the way we were supposed to play. We did it all the first (period), and we certainly got away from it. We can’t afford to do that or else we get those results."

They looked so dang tired the last 45 minutes. #cbj
