The regular season started a month ago. Columbus has played 13 games in that time, and yet not a single one has been within the division. That feels weird, right? Yeah, that’s weird.
I look at this much like college athletics. You know how OSU will play out of conference opponents to start the season, before getting into Big Ten play? After getting warmed up against the Western Conference (6-2-2 record against that group), now it’s time to start facing our most common opponents.
More good news? The Jackets are in 5th place in the Metro, with games in hand on every other team.
