Recapping a wild 24 hours for the Blue Jackets-Korpisalo injured, Tortorella’s rant, Merzlikins takes over in net Dec 31, 2019

Show notes

The Blue Jackets lost to Chicago Sunday, but that wasn’t the biggest story. A failed clock re-set cost the team an overtime win, and ultimately set up a shootout that would see Joonas Korpisalo leave the game due to injury, and a post-game John Tortorella rant. Now, Korpisalo is out weeks and Elvis Merzlikins takes over as the starting goaltender. Aaron Portzline and Alison Lukan recap all of these events and offer their perspective on how it all went down and how the club moves forward from this series of events.
