Heck, doesn't every game this season have the word 'rivals' in it when hyping the matchup?

Paul here using Bill's account so he receives the comment notifications and not me. He is without computer access at this moment and asked me to put up the live blog for him.

It feels like old times, playing the Blue Jackets once again, but this time with both teams in the Eastern Conference.

Expect the team from down there to hit anyone wearing red and it will be up to the Wings to play their puck possession game.

The Blue Jackets have improved and will play a full sixty-minute game and will pressure the Wings every chance the have.

With that said...
