Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort. Jon Snow and the Night King. The Montreal Canadiens and the Columbus Blue Jackets. Two powers in the NHL fighting for one thing.
For Harry and You-Know-Who, it was for the safety of the wizarding world. For Jon, it’ll be to protect Westeros and the millions of people in it. And for the battle between the Habs and Blue Jackets, only one will be able to call themselves a playoff team (unless something goes horribly wrong and the Carolina Hurricanes fall out of the running entirely).
It’ll be equally as important to pay attention to what Columbus is doing as they’re success directly impact the Habs.
