I just wanted to mention something shortly while I'm thinking of it. Bill Davidge said this last night and it was reaffirmed in my mind while reading the recap from the Dispatch. We are currently sitting at 82 points, three points ahead of Edmonton for the seven spot in the playoff standings and seven points of St. Louis, who is currently ninth. According to Aaron Portzline of the Dispatch, if we were to finish the season with winning half of our ten remaining games, St. Louis would have to go 9-1 to eclipse us for the final playoff spot. First off, how great of a note is that. We are so close, baby! I can almost taste the Stanley Cup Playoffs! It makes me excited, just thinking about it.
But here's the extra thought. Now that we are so close to wrapping up our first playoff spot, let's keep our focus ahead. Both Chicago and Vancouver are three points ahead of us. Thank you, Phoenix. Why can't we go for fourth? Ralph asked this question to me earlier in the week on the show, and I responded the same as I will now. Home-ice advantage. There is no question that the Blue Jackets would play better at NWA and I would much rather attend four playoff games, rather than three. Now that we've all but clinched, let's look ahead to what we can do from here on out.
LET'S GO JACKETS!!!
BK out!
