Amazing that when the Jackets try to get speed through the neutral zone they are met by the Devil defense
On the other hand when Hughes speeds through the zone the Jackets give him an escort

This storyline feels familiar. Suggest author takes a chance on another as the formulaic approach is really failing to engage the interest of their fans. -aRuss

Fantilli never saw the ice in OT because...? Also I was wrong, Jiricek got even less time after the Werenski injury. I actually hate our coach
The whole organization seems to be a big bag of failure anymore. Just a big country club not serious about winning and more serious about putting glitter on a turd and trying to package and market it as a product.

The REAL AI Match Report:
In an exhilarating showdown at the Prudential Center, the New Jersey Devils edged out the Columbus Blue Jackets in a tightly contested match, ending in a 4-3 overtime victory for the Devils. This intense game was marked by a series of crucial plays and goals that kept the fans on the edge of their seats.

The match started with the Devils taking an early lead with a goal by Jack Hughes, assisted by Tyler Toffoli, just 47 seconds into the first period. This was quickly followed by another goal from Erik Haula, putting the Devils up 2-0. However, Columbus fought back, with Kirill Marchenko scoring on a power play, and Yegor Chinakhov leveling the score at 2-2.

The second period saw the Devils regain the lead with Toffoli scoring, assisted by Jesper Bratt. The Blue Jackets responded with Chinakhov's second goal of the night, and Dawson Mercer tied the game for the Devils, leading to a 3-3 deadlock at the end of the third period.

The final minutes of regulation were a whirlwind of activity. The Blue Jackets briefly took a 3-2 lead with Chinakhov's goal, but this was quickly nullified by Luke Hughes' equalizer for the Devils, sending the game into overtime. In the overtime period, Timo Meier emerged as the hero for the Devils, scoring a breakaway goal to seal a dramatic 4-3 victory.

This victory was a fitting end to the Devils' 2023 home schedule, showcasing their resilience and ability to come from behind, much to the delight of the home crowd. The Blue Jackets, despite a strong showing, will rue missed opportunities but can take heart from a spirited performance against a formidable opponent.

On the plus side - twice we had guys beat McLeod on face offs in overtime.

On the minus side - it didn’t really matter that twice we had guys beat McLeod on face offs in overtime.

I expect to see losses and pleasantly surprised when I see wins but this whole franchise is an utter failure. Need to move on from JD and Jarmo.

The CBJ version from AI:
In a disheartening turn of events for the Columbus Blue Jackets, their valiant efforts were undermined by a series of questionable calls and missed opportunities in a 4-3 overtime loss to the New Jersey Devils. The Blue Jackets, who showcased resilience and skill throughout the game, were met with an unfavorable outcome that belied their on-ice performance.

The game began promisingly, with the Blue Jackets overcoming an early deficit to level the score, thanks to strategic plays and commendable teamwork. Yegor Chinakhov's stellar performance, scoring twice, was a highlight, demonstrating the untapped potential of the team. However, the tide turned with a series of penalties that seemed to disproportionately affect the Blue Jackets, disrupting their rhythm and allowing the Devils to capitalize on their power-play opportunities.

In the third period, the Blue Jackets momentarily seized the lead, only to be thwarted by a rapid response from the Devils, tying the game and sending it into overtime. The extra period saw Timo Meier of the Devils scoring a breakaway goal, a fitting end to a game that seemed to consistently favor the home team.

This loss, particularly in the manner it unfolded, leaves a bitter taste, underscoring the challenges the Blue Jackets face in a league where every detail counts. The team's efforts, while commendable, were not reflected in the final score, a reminder of the harsh realities of professional hockey.

And finally, my favorite:
As a Blue Jackets fan, it's hard not to feel like we just watched a masterclass in "how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory" against the New Jersey Devils. I mean, seriously? We lead, we lose the lead, we lead again, only to end up losing in overtime? Classic Blue Jackets.

Yegor Chinakhov was out there doing his best impression of a one-man army, scoring twice, but apparently, that wasn't enough. And the penalties, oh boy! It was like our guys thought they'd get bonus points for time spent in the penalty box.

Then, overtime happened, and Timo Meier decided to play the role of heartbreaker. A breakaway goal? Really? Just when you think your team might pull off something amazing, the hockey gods laugh and remind you - nope, this is Columbus hockey.

So, hats off to the Devils, I guess. They played well, but let's be honest, we're more used to snatching defeat from victory than they are at sniping goals in overtime.

Hopefully in 2 years every single front office and guy behind the bench is gone. Id say sooner but really I dont think theyll spend the money to turn things around and we will have to endure 2 more years of garbage coaching and the same lack of roster construction

That’s been the “hang in there!” line from CBJ since day 1. That AI has a marketing degree

They aren’t the only ones the team needs to move on from
Id remove everyone except the Russians, Fantilli, Jiricek, Johnny and KJ. Some guys could stay like Danforth and Boone but the "stars" in Werenski and Laine (both always hurt) and both overpaid could go to the highest bidders. Would be curious to see what they'd get in return for a healthy Z. Probably not as much as some might think.

I think Werenski would actually bring a haul of a return, he’s widely regarded as a top 20 d man in the league

I'd like to see Jarmo gone but it strikes me as odd that folks are using this as an occasion to call for clearing out half the roster and the whole operation. Hardly our worst showing! They were (what looked like) a late deflection away from picking up the 2 points against a difficult opponent.

There are many things about our roster construction that I don't like but one of our biggest problems is turnover. It's guys who can't read each other and haven't learned to trust each other. It looks like it's getting a lot better over the last month. I'd rather not have too much more turnover.

So I asked it to go back and give it another try. I can tell it's using game reports from other writers. Here's the revised AI game report:

In an electrifying matchup on December 27, 2023, the New Jersey Devils clinched a dramatic 4-3 overtime victory against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The game, especially its final minutes, was a rollercoaster of emotions and action.

The Devils' Ondrej Palat opened the scoring, netting a goal shortly after returning from the penalty box in the first period, with assists from Erik Haula and Dawson Mercer. This goal evened the score at 1-1, following an earlier goal by the Blue Jackets' Jake Bean, assisted by Alexandre Texier and Brendan Gaunce.

The second period saw the Blue Jackets taking a 2-1 lead with a goal from Justin Danforth, assisted by Adam Fantilli and David Jiricek. However, the Devils fought back in the third period with Dawson Mercer scoring, assisted by Simon Nemec, to tie the game at 2-2.

The game's climax unfolded in the final minutes of the third period. The Blue Jackets briefly took the lead with a goal by Yegor Chinakhov, only for the Devils to respond swiftly. Luke Hughes scored a remarkable goal, carrying the puck the length of the ice to tie the game at 3-3, assisted by Dawson Mercer and Jack Hughes. This late equalizer by Luke Hughes was particularly noteworthy, as it exemplified the tense and back-and-forth nature of the game's closing moments.

Timo Meier emerged as the hero for the Devils in overtime, scoring the game-winning goal on a breakaway, sealing the 4-3 victory. Dawson Mercer had a standout performance with one goal and two assists, contributing significantly to the Devils' triumph.

In addition to the on-ice action, the game featured some notable player storylines. Devils' goalie Vitek Vanecek continued in goal despite an injury scare during a Blue Jackets power play. Furthermore, the match marked Damon Severson's return to New Jersey after being traded to Columbus, a significant moment considering his decade-long tenure with the Devils. Additionally, Colin Miller returned to the Devils' lineup after the birth of his child just before Christmas.
