from Michael Arace of the Columbus Dispatch,

If you are a Blue Jackets fan, you don’t want to think the Pittsburgh Penguins are in your team’s head, like a subcranial hematoma pressing on the cerebellum, affecting balance. Yet, you have to consider the possibility.

The Jackets played well in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series Friday night. They did, however, lose.

“(Pucks) are bouncing every which way but in our net,” captain Nick Foligno said. “As soon as they start bouncing our way, look out.”...

“We’re excited,” Brandon Dubinsky said. “We’re not feeling down. We’re excited to get home to Nationwide. That place is going to be buzzing.”...

“I thought everyone of our team played their (butts) off,” Tortorella said. “We’re not doing too much thinking about who we’re playing against. We’re just playing the right way.”

The Jackets believe they will bounce back at home. They think they just need a couple of bounces. If you are a Jackets fan, you hope they’re right.
