For the fourth straight season and fifth time in team history, the Columbus Blue Jackets have advanced to the NHL’s postseason with a chance to hoist the Stanley Cup at the end of the tournament. This season’s tournament will be a little bit different, with 24 teams allowed in instead of the usual 16, but we’ll get to that later.
If you missed the boat last year or lapsed during the regular season, we’ve got you covered. Consider this your unofficial primer to get you (re)started as a Columbus Blue Jackets fan. We’re glad to have you.
