“Is a Blue Jackets Breakthrough on the Horizon? Unpacking the Surprising Weekend Rankings!”
Every time you look at those Eastern standings, you get to the Islanders and have that “oh right” moment. They’re coming off a strong week that included wins over the top-tier Panthers, plus an OT win over the Habs team they’re chasing and a point on Saturday against the Flames. They’re right in this thing.
And in a twisted way, you kind of have to love it. Building up to a big dramatic finale only to have the one team nobody’s rooting for emerge with the wild-card spot would be kind of amazing. Maybe it all just leads to another early exit, although at least they’ll miss the Hurricanes in round one this time. Or maybe we all do that thing we did a few years ago, counting the Islanders out and then watching them mow through supposedly better teams once the playoffs start.
