Blue Jackets earn a trip to the Conferance Finals

Columbus,OH cajn After beating the Toronto Maple Leafs in seven games, the Jackets are poised to take on the Rockies in the Conference Finals.

It was not long ago that GM Colston had been criticized by other GM's that he ruined his club by not protecting certain players. Could it be that Colston is more of a genius than people realize? Maybe, just maybe, the Jackets GM has put together a team that has a solid chance to advance to the cup Finals.

When asked about his teams success, GM Colston said "When I first took over as GM, I said that every team team had better bring their A game and that we would play a physical game.

It's taken a long time to get here, but here we are. We will take this series one game at a time, since the Rockies have the ability to shut down our top two lines. However, I do expect the Jackets to win in 6 games or less."

Wow, not sure if that was a statement of respect for the Rockies or if GM Colston just pushed the Rockies under the bus. There is also a rumor that Peter Forsberg is coming out of retirement. If that's true, then look out for that big Blue & Red bus!
