Chasing the CBJ Ceiling
#278
Today at 2:00 PM

How good can this CBJ team be? After points in nine straight, some are wondering not if, but where the Blue Jackets will slot in to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. It's a risky proposition to look into the club from the outside, but on this episode, we discuss the current pundit playoff projections and where we see the Blue Jackets in the mix, discuss last week's action, and name our players that have been playing with some ****ing heart. You won't want to miss this one!
