Even when the Blue Jackets were on their near record-setting winning streak at the end of last season, something very odd struck me.
Now, perhaps I wasn't looking in the right places, but any conversation I saw - on this community, on twitter or anywhere else I happened to be - there wasn't a whole lot, or any, talk of "THIS is our year! THIS is our year!" It's more of...shock? Awe? Wonder?
Well, it was some of that. Maybe all of those. But sometime during the streak, hell maybe even before the streak, the wins became expected.
