it's a shame Columbus didn't make the playoffs

Columbus had the best record in the west the last 28 games of the season..even better than the Hawks and still didn't make it to the playoffs while Minnesota who is playing pretty bad make it...the worst part is not being able to see how Columbus could have done against the Hawks in the 1st round..i really think they would have had a shot to upset them...the 4 games the Hawks beat them were all by one goal and were all when Columbus wasn't playing well....oh well we'll never know

Definitely. I think the Jackets woulda gave the Hawks more of a scare and maybe even did the impossible. I don't see Minny giving them a whole lot of resistance. Hawks in 5 would be my guess.
