The Columbus Blue Jackets are entering a weird section of their season. Yesterday, they played the New York Islanders. Tomorrow, they play the New York Islanders, but this time it’s in their fancy new arena! Then, they do the same thing against Philadelphia, except without the fancy new arena. And go for two with Boston after that.
And it’s freaking awesome.
I remember, as a kid, always getting excited for these. I didn’t have a particular reason why. I remember one versus Philadelphia somewhere around 2012 where I was very excited to see Jakub Voracek in back-to-back games.
