The Blue Jackets are--wait for it--NOT IN LAST PLACE IN THE LEAGUE ANYMORE. Not even in the East! What to do?
OK. So, I know this has not much to do with this specific game, but the Jackets are now in 28th place instead of 30th. There are 27 games left. Edmonton and Toronto are pretty bad, not to mention Winnipeg, Buffalo, and Calgary. The Jackets appear capable of beating--or losing to--anyone in the league right now.
Which direction are they going to go?
If they decide to get hot--again--in the spring when it's largely meaningless, will it have been worth it?
