The Power Rankings are now out. Keep in mind they were posted within the last few days so they might not reflect the current records of the league.
The Blue Jackets are still trying to string together a few wins to really jump up the standings. With the West as tight as it is, a 3 or 4-game win streak will go a long way. The last week of games have really put a scare into everyone. Is this team a first-quarter wonder? Was last year just a fluke? Can the Power Play be salvaged and turned back to respectable? We’ll know soon enough.
CARRY THE FLAG!!!
GO JACKETS!!!
