This is Why Hockey is So Much Fun

What a fun game! Amazingly, the Jackets made the same 3-1 lead that they had against Boston stand up tonight against Chicago, against all odds, and the specter of an 0-8 losing streak is dead. As a fan, it is hard to describe how huge this is. As players, I hope the Jackets are happy about the win, but more pleased about their ability to skate with the Blackhawks. The Jackets lost their first two games to heavy, physical teams (Boston, San Jose), but were able to skate with a team that has won Stanley Cups by out skating their opponents.
