The Columbus Blue Jackets make their return to the Stanley Cup Playoffs tonight. Folks in Jackets Country have waited three years for this rematch with the Pittsburgh Penguins. It has been a tumultuous journey for Columbus to return to this very spot. This is not the same team from three years ago, and that is a very good thing. The story lines are different. The attitude on the ice is different. The intensity between these rivals, that is still the same.
Fast Start Needed
Not having home ice is going to be a big hurdle for the Jackets to overcome.
