Opinion: NHL stars weigh-in on the Blue Jackets’ cannon

In any event, the cannon was fired early and often. And it was LOUD….much to the agitation of some of the players involved in the game. Florida Panthers goaltender Roberto Luongo summed up the feelings of many of the All-Stars with this tweet:
The canon has to go @BlueJacketsNHL
