UNBELIEVABLE.

Never did a team deserve to win a game more than the Jackets did tonight.

They worked and worked and worked some more and tonight they didn't just win a hockey game and tie a series. This game means so much more. Tonight they won Ohio. Tonight they won a slew of future hockey fans in their city and all over North America.

How many people found themselves rooting for the Columbus Blue Jackets for the first time tonight? How many fans in Alberta, Florida, California, and elsewhere found themselves on the edge if their seats rooting for a team they probably have never watched unless their team was playing them?

That was my living room...and my family.

What a great night for the NHL and an even greater night for a franchise with a ton of people who have worked for many years to see a moment like this one.

Just awesome.
