X marks the spot
A historical night for the Columbus Blue Jackets. The clinched their first playoff berth ever with a shootout win versus the Chicago Blackhawks.
My only gripe about this game is that the play was sloppy from the CBJ perspective. I felt that they were playing to timid and trying to force plays. The better playoff teams keep the play smart, and simple. Know your system and make quick, smart decisions. I feel they need to further simplify their play in order to be successful. It’s nice to know that with 92 points they have a better chance of hanging on to the 6th spot. I feel like I’d rather play against Calgary at this point then anyone else up there. That being said we’ll now need to make sure Vancouver doesn’t win out the division. If that happens, then it’s going to be a tough battle against players like the Sedins, Sundin, and Luongo. Let’s hope for the best now into the post-season. But I must say it’s pretty nice to know that they’re guaranteed a spot. Now we need to start a new cheer in Nationwide Arena.
WE WANT THE CUP! WE WANT THE CUP.
