Hockey is a very superstitious sport, which is probably why this massive Stanley Cup poster installed in Columbus has caught the eye of Jackets fans.
The Blue Jackets haven’t been a particularly successful franchise in their history, only making the playoffs twice and they’ve never had home ice advantage. It’s best not to do anything to jinx the success of the team now, but the team doesn’t appear to be too worried. A 16-game winning streak has almost locked them into a playoff spot, but they haven't clinched yet.
They posted this massive advertisement for the playoffs with their logo on the side of a building.
What is with Ohio’s obsession with massive posters. We suppose we get it, when you’re having to compete with this kind of advertising in your state, you have to get ahead of the game.
Now, how likely are the Blue Jackets to make the playoffs? Pretty likely. From the prettiest playoff odds on Twitter, you can see that their chances are 99.98%.
