After getting blasted 3-0 in the first period by the visiting Chicago Blackhawks, most Blue Jackets fans didn't expect much out of the final home game here in Columbus. Well, about that...
The painful, confusing, often heartbreaking mess that was the Columbus Blue Jackets 2015-2016 season was finally set to come to an end Saturday night, and it's strangely fitting that the Chicago Blackhawks were there to drive that final nail into the coffin.
With Nationwide Arena uncomfortably full of red sweaters (including more than a few CBJ season ticket holders who manage to find their Toews and Kane gear awfully quickly when the Hawks come to town), the only real question left for Columbus to answer was if they'd slot into #27 or #26 in the final season standings.
