2017-18 Player Review: Sergei Bobrovsky
Bob flashed his trademark smile a lot, until the end Coming into the 2017-18 season, the consensus opinion on Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky read something like this: An all-world goalie upon whose shoulders rested the fortunes of the CBJ, which was precisely why they could never progress past the first round. Bob would dominate the regular season (he does have two Vezina Trophies, after all) only to collapse (historically against the Penguins in the postseason and dash the Blue Jackets’ hopes. So after logging a career high in minutes (3,912) and ranking near the top...

Alexander Wennberg may be the most important player in Columbus
Not the best, mind you, but...just hear me out If you ask who the most valuable member of the 2017-18 Columbus Blue Jackets was, the obvious answer would be one of Artemi Panarin, Sergei Bobrovsky, or Seth Jones. If you ask who the best center was, of course it was rookie phenom Pierre-Luc Dubois.

The Caps jumped out to a 3-1 lead after two periods and added to their lead throughout the third. The Blue Jackets showed signs of life, but couldn’t dig out of the early hole. Nick Foligno scored twice and Pierre Luc-Dubois got his second of the playoffs. Bob wasn’t great....
