Ah, yes, the day every sports fan waits for all year long…
...the day the #CBJ only have 15 games left in the regular season.
The Jackets start the day with a Magic Number (discounting tie-breakers) of 30. They are 1 point (and a tie-breaker) out of both WC2 and WC1. They are 2 points (and a tie-breaker) out of MET3 and 3 points (and a tie-breaker) out of MET2. They have a game in hand on each of those four spots.
Tonight could prove big for the #CBJ, as they have the chance to gain points off of a bad Rangers team on the 2nd of a back-to-back. If they can’t win that game…
Meanwhile, we get to pull for the Habs over the Detroit (or at least just a 2-point game) and Ottawa over the Islanders (or, again, just a 2-pointer). If the Jets can drop the Bruins (unlikely, but hey, one can dream), that would make for a perfect evening on the out of town scoreboard for the Jackets.
