Todd Cordell: Blue Jackets Win First Playoff Game, Even Series With Penguins

Congrats to the Jackets. I've been pulling for them all year now that they are in the east

It has to feel great to get their 1st playoff win so here's hoping they can keep going strong and get to the 2nd round.

Congrats to the CBJ and their fans. Long time coming. Now win 3 more so we can hear Crosby whine

Kudos Jackets. Great effort and they got the win the deserved. The world is rooting for you, because let's face it, most people hate the Pens and love an underdog. We'll just have to see what happens.

Craptacular game from the team overall. If last night didn't wake up the Pens stars (especially Malkin and Neal), then this 'team' isn't going anywhere.

On the Jackets side, impressive effort. To see them follow up a disappointing result with that kind of game says something. And as much as I hate to admit it, Dubinsky is being a factor.

I'm a fan of the team, and even I hate them.

Todd,

Thanks for taking the blogging job over, at least in the short term. Did not get to watch the game, but it sounds like Game 2 was much like Game 1 with lots of momentum changes, big mistakes, and some great plays by each side. Reading the Pens fans it almost seems like losing one game is losing the series, how in the world could Pittsburgh lose to Columbus?

Hopefully they will have lots of complaints about game 3 too when it is all said and done Monday night.
