Welcome to the NHL Playoffs.
The first game of the post-season was a stunner as the Columbus Blue Jackets came back from a three-goal deficit in the first period against the 62-win Tampa Bay Lightning led by superstars Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos. I’ll say it again — welcome to the NHL Playoffs.
Seth Jones potted the game-winner for the Blue Jackets, securing the 4-3 win in Game 1 of their opening-round matchup with the Lightning.
Here’s a look at some the best reactions to the shocking comeback.

Was Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella, who led the Lightning to their first and only Stanley Cup win in 2004, happy about the comeback?
You could probably say that. Did the fans love what they were seeing from Tortorella after the Jackets win?

You could probably say that too.
The whole Blue Jacket fanbase will likely be riding high as the underdogs look to steal another win in Game 2 on Friday.
