Columbus, Ohio - A city located in the Western half of the United States.
Imagine Michael Peca in the playoffs.
Then imagine that the year is not 1999, but the blessed year of Our Lord 2009!
We here at DKM usually do not believe in curses, Jinxes, generally subtle feelings of fearing the Great Void of Dark Abyss, or Dani Minogue.
But I fear this post may cause a Hex of King Tutankhamun’s Epic Killing Scale.
Your Columbus Blue Jackets – the team [and city] that 90% of United States of America -Fuck-Yeah sports writers have never heard of – are currently holding down the 6th playoff spot in the Western Conference (despite being further east than Slick Rick, Public Enemy, and 2/3rds of the Beastie Boys). The Columbus Blue Jackets! And they are holding down the 6th spot nearly comfortably. They are 5 points ahead of Anaheim and Nashville, who are 7th and 8th.
I mean last night they beat a Conference Finals favourite in the Calgary Flames 5 to nothing. Olli Jokinen is really screwing me over this week in my fantasy hockey pool to the Bench Boss, but I digress.
Obviously, the Blue Jackets have never made the playoffs. I do hope they make it, but if they don’t I want to take credit for this post causing them to fall in the standings. I bet Rick Nash is pooping his pants in delight right now. Pierre M-Dawg can’t wait to call him a Monster in the post-season.
…and just who does Steve Mason think he is?
Well done Big ‘Stotle, good read.
It’s also a good way to make sure you never lose a playoff game. See “Thrashers, Atlanta”.
Thanks ‘Boss, and good point on the Atlanta Flames, dwarf!
