Columbus Blue Jackets made the playoffs for the first time in their short history. They got helped out big time by their young goaltender Steve Mason. They might make the playoffs for again next season and that would only be second time in the team's history.
They are a very young team at forward. They have a semi star in Rick Nash and he lead the team in goals, assists, and points overall. He is a good leader for the younger guys coming in and older veterans respect him too.
They are young on defense also. The leader in +/- for them was Jan Hejda who had a +23. I wouldn't be surprised if they try to bring in some veteran leadership into the defense.
Steve Mason will be the starter in net next year. He should be even better next year as long as he works on his weak spots this off season. Columbus looks to be able to get into the playoffs for the next couple years and maybe pushing deep into them also.
