“Is a Blue Jackets Breakthrough on the Horizon? Unpacking the Surprising Weekend Rankings!”
2. The Western bubble turned out to be way better – We all but wrote off the West months ago, with it looking like it would be a two-team dance between the overachieving Flames and the broken Canucks. But now it looks a lot more like a four-team race, with Utah hanging around and the Blues looking strong down the stretch to hold the hammer.

For the Caps, it would be their fourth, which would move them into a tie for the second most in the trophy’s history. For the Jets, it would be the very first for both the franchise and the market. Does anyone care? Not really, especially since the Presidents’ Trophy winner hasn’t won the Cup since 2013, and not in a full season since 2008. But we should celebrate regular-season success more than we do, so let’s at least pretend to be interested.
