What a finish!
Of course, we really shouldn't be saying all these things about the Blues pulling one out at the wire (*cough* 2 goal lead *cough*) but it certainly beats losing at the wire.
Regardless, we've got an even better shot at notching a playoff spot today. First order of business is beating those bastard Jackets again.
