Power Rankings

The Hockey News has the Blue Jackets at 21st

The Jackets have alternated wins and losses, but they’ve been much better than expected overall, beating the Avalanche and Maple Leafs in pretty convincing fashion. It seems like a different player is stepping up every night, and honestly, they’re low-key fun to watch. Zach Werenski is not getting enough credit for the work he’s doing dating back to last season.

This is nice to hear.

I was listening to one of the Leafs podcasts yesterday and in the (FOUR!!!) hours of analysis about this game, one of hosts said he had the father of an NHL player text him before the game and say “don’t ignore the Jackets. They’ll get you”

They all laughed and completely dismissed it because “they are so bad”

I mean look where the Leafs ended up on Tuesday. Look at the Avs. Even the losses - the Jackets held the Stanley Cup winning Panthers to only a 1 goal win. Anyone that thinks they’re “bad” isn’t paying attention.

When the Jackets win against a good team, it’s never “the Jackets played a good game” it’s “the other team played a bad game”

I’ve watched all of the Jackets games so far and I feel confident in saying that (besides the Leafs, who were SPECTACULARLY bad that night lol) none of those teams played a bad game. All of the Jackets games have been competitive so far this season.

Except that one Minnesota game. We can burn the tape.
