Not counting tonight's game, the Jackets overall record in the calendar year of 2011 is 24-42-15. That is good for just 63 points.
Here is how those 63 points would have placed them the past 5 season:
2010-2011 - 29th (EDM 62 pts)
2009-2010 - 29th (EDM 62 pts)
2008-2009 - 29th (NYI 61 pts)
2007-2008 - 30th (TBY/LA 71 pts)
2006-2007 - 29th (PHI 56 pts)
So when that clock strikes midnight tonight to end 2011, let's just say from a Columbus Blue Jackets standpoint...
GOOD RIDDANCE!
While there is no hope for the playoffs in 2012, there will be new hope for the 2012-2013 season. So bring on 2012!
Finally, please do me two favors tonight:
1. Stay safe out there.
and..
2. Toast to Boomer when that "ball" drops!
C-ya at the game tonight!
Happy New Year and Let's Go Jackets!
EDIT: Corrected post as I missed a win. Thx to @DarkBlueJacket for heads up!
