I don`t see the Jackets having a chance vs the Bolts but if there is an aspect of their game I do think would benefit the B`s if they get past the Leafs to face the Bolts is that Columbus won`t be like the Devils last year in the sense that they play a physical style where the Devils barely grazed a Bolts player so the series will be physically demanding
Obviously Tampa will be the heavy favorites but the Jackets have a lot better chance of upsetting the Bolts than the Canadiens do and besides anytime the Canadiens don't make the playoffs and get a mid to late round pick in the process is music to my ears, the only thing that would be better would be Bruins putting the final nail in the coffin or beating them in a playoff series.
The jackets also have the ability to physically punish and wear down the Lightning in a series, which would be huge if the Bruins get by Toronto.
