| What a season for the Jackets, even though they didn't make the playoffs after an 8-2-0 finish. The future is actually bright. | ||

| It didn't look good for the Blue Jackets to hold onto the eighth seed (or even take seventh!) considering they had to face this road trip and they were a bad road team. Yet they keep winning. What a story. | ||

| The Jackets still have a lot of work ahead, but they have begun this closing stretch strong. The first of this six-game road trip was a win, making three straight. All they need to do is score a couple and Sergei Bobrovsky will seemingly make it stand. | ||

| It's crazy to see them this high and I don't think they really are this good in the scheme of things, but they're still hot. ... Will Todd Richards get some love for the Jack Adams hiring if this continues? | ||

| That points streak was great and it has Columbus actually in the playoff race, but they just played nine of 10 at home. Time to see if they can actually do it on the road where they play four of their next five. | ||

| Is this the time that we start talking about Sergei Bobrovsky and the Vezina? It just may be. It's great to see life around a franchise that has been part of the walking dead for years. | ||

| Somebody break up the Blue Jackets! They have won five in a row and just dominated the Red Wings this season. You can see some light at the end of the tunnel. | ||

| The Jackets certainly don't have a ton of skill but they do play hard. Credit goes to Todd Richards and his staff for that ... It's just worth noting that they are 25 points back in their division. They have only played 22 games. | ||

| You have to give the Blue Jackets this: they have a lot of fight. They might not be very good but they are not an easy win. They're going to play you tough. Just ask the Blackhawks after Sunday night. | ||

| Ah yes, back where they belong not only in the rankings but in the standings too. Really, the best thing for new GM Jarmo Kekalainen would be to get that No. 1 pick and start from there. | ||

| The season already figured to be a rough one for the Blue Jackets, but then the lockout gave them a condensed schedule against the Central. Oof. We like their odds for the most lottery balls again and maybe they'll win this time. | ||
