Even though they expect more goals with Johnny Gaudreau signed, Blue Jackets coaches spent this offseason analyzing the team's defensive shortcomings.
in a trade to free up salary-cap space, the goal of returning to the playoffs felt more realistic. Season-ticket sales went way up. Fans also bought Gaudreau jerseys.
That interest is attached to the Jackets’ odds of qualifying for the playoffs, which they haven’t done the past two yearsBlue Jackets have large gap to shrink to make playoffs “If you want to be a playoff team, you’ve gotta be in the green,” Larsen said, referring to the color used by the NHL’s web site for positive goal differentials. “It’s not rocket science there either. I think there was one team that made it , Dallas, that was in the red, and it wasn’t like they were minus-25. It was a very low number.”
“We scored last year,” Larsen said. “We’ve got to swing the pendulum back a little bit, but it should not take away from our aggressiveness, how we attack, how we get after the game. We’ve got fast guys. We’ve got some skilled guys. I don’t ever want to take the stick out of their hands. But they’ve got to meet us halfway here and make sure that we’re doing the intangibles on the other side to keep it out.
