If you thought this day was going to be a possibility in September, you’re a liar. Or we need to talk because I’d like to know the winning lottery numbers please. No one in their right mind would have predicted that the Columbus Blue Jackets could clinch a playoff spot with 11 games remaining in the season.
But here we are, just a CBJ win over last place New Jersey away from punching a ticket to the post season. On top of that, a win would put them in a tie for first place in the league with Washington, again.
