Well, we decided to do a post-game podcast, JJ Regan, after the Columbus game.

0:11.2

And I think we all thought, well, this would be a good one because they'll probably score

0:14.5

four or five goals against a team that's bad and missing most of its best players.

0:20.2

And then the game started.

0:22.5

And wow, was that a dud?

0:24.1

1:22.9
