While the Blue Jackets and Red Wings are battling for draft position and lottery odds instead of a playoff spot -- with last night's win, Detroit moved one point ahead of Columbus at the bottom of the Central Division -- CBJ head coach John Tortorella has too much respect for the game to put that battle ahead of the one the teams will have on the ice to finish the season tonight.
In other words, there will be no tanking from the Jackets as they lace 'em up for the final time against the Wings.
"Oh God, I don't know how to spell (tank) and I don't think our athletes know how to spell it," Tortorella said earlier this week.
