The usual line is that teams don’t make the playoffs in October (or November), but they can certainly miss them there.
The Blue Jackets have been in pretty solid control of their playoff hopes through their first eleven games, and even though a few of their losses have been incredibly frustrating, the team is still sitting at 3rd in the Metro and showing no indication of going away.
So with that said, I thought it might be worth talking about some of the things (good and bad) the team has shown so far in this young season, and where they might be headed.
