YOUR Columbus Blue Jackets are in the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs! Yet I’m guessing some of you have reservations. After all, for much of the last month we were hoping the Jackets could do anything to avoid facing the Tampa Bay Lightning. Jarmo Kekalainen added pieces at the deadline to make a deep playoff run, and instead the team is facing a quick exit against one of the most impressive regular season performers of all time, and arguably the best of the salary cap era.
Tampa is clearly a great team, and it’s going to take a lot to defeat them.
