If you're sitting there wonderinghow the heck did that happen?, well, you're probably not alone.
It's not that the Blue Jackets won a playoff series for the first time ever on Tuesday night. This is a good team, and a playoff series win was bound to happen at some point. The surprise was the comprehensive, impressive and downright dominating way they did it, sweeping the Presidents' Trophy winner right out of the first round by a combined score of 19-8.
After an NHL record-tying 62 wins during the regular season, the Bolts left the postseason with zero wins, and the first team to qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs was the first team out after losing four straight to the last team to qualify.
It was a series of storylines like that, so how did the Blue Jackets do it? Here's a look at some facts, figures, and randomness from the historic occasion.
