Hockey is an odd sport. Weird equipment, odd terminology, and funny bounces all play a huge role in this game. Just as odd is that perhaps the biggest game of the season is tonight’s matchup between the Columbus Blue Jackets and Florida Panthers.
These two very untraditional hockey teams are red hot right now and surging towards the playoffs. The Columbus Blue Jackets nine game winning streak has them threatening not only a playoff spot, but the top of the Metropolitan division. The Florida Panthers might be the only hotter team in the NHL. Since February they have been almost unbeatable.
