At long last, the Bluejackets are in
4-3 SO over Chicago! 91 points, and a clinched berth.

It's been a loooooong wait

1. Congrats to the Jackets!
Got the monkey off their back-so onward and upward. The best News Years Eve I ever had was at Nationwide Arena.

i like seeing new teams in the west emerge.

and love watching teams like montreal and the rangers sink in the east.

Here's hoping for a Pens/Jackets cup final!

edit: shave tomorrow, then lose your razor for a while. we'll compare playoff beards come cup time.

5. That's my question.
Very odd name for a team, but I'm sure there's some significance. Too lazy to wiki it.

6. mixed
NOW, it refers to Union soldiers. At first, I have no friggin clue. There's the dumbass mascot "Stinger," who is a blue yellowjacket (hence, bluejacket). But I really don't know where it came from :shrug:
