Sleeping around here these days isn't coming in bulk. A few hours at a time is about all that happens when you have 90 points with three games left and 3 teams capable of taking your spot in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
The jackets are most certainly in charge of their own fate and are in the driver's seat, but until there is a little 'x' next the the Blue Jackets name in the standings, there is no rest for the weary. Hitch is definitely not one to sugar coat what needs to be done with his team, therefore, I am left to find solace in other places. Until the jackets are 'in' and playing better, the old coach's hair will continue to whiten and possibly even become clear like fishing line.
1 point here and 1 point there, they are inching towards their first ever playoff birth, but jeez, it is slow moving at this point. The last thing we need is for this thing to come down to the last game of the season vs. Minnesota. It is definitely the last thing I need anyway.
Billy? He is sleeping fine...he is in heaven actually. His bout of diarreha somehow graduated him from the crate to the bed and he hasn't looked back. He now cuddles up to me through the night and sleeps like like a teenager on the weekend.
3 more games and 3 points would guarantee us a spot, 1 point is likely all that is necessary, 2 would be fantastic, but 3 would be us putting a stamp on the season and getting that 'only franchise to have never made the post season' monkey off our backs.

Go Jackets!!!!!!!!!!!!
Things are going to get real interesting tonight. A regulation loss by either Nashville or St. Louis, tonight, and all we need is one point.
So go Hawks and Yotes.. lol
No doubt--tonight is a HUGE night for a lot of teams, including the jackets. I don't really see the 'yotes beating the Blues, but I also didn't forsee the Avs beating the canucks the other night either.
The blues have been playing on house money as of late, with the 'nothing to lose' type of attitude. Suddenly the games they are about to play will directly determine their fate. Fortunately for them, they will be facing 2 of the weakest opponents in the west.
I don't see Nashville going 3-0 though...man, this is BRUTAL!.
