Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone, and the Blue Jackets sit one point out of first place in the Metro and 3 points out of a tie for first place in the league. Rarefied atmosphere to be sure. On the other hand, as of this morning, the Penguins sit out of playoff contention, but only 5 points out of a tie for first in the Metro. That puts the CBJ and 3 other Metro teams between them and a tie with the surprising NJ Devils. So the Division is super tight, and likely to remain that way for some time to come.
