That game meant nothing to the Wings and everything to Nashville. Not hard to see why they didn't give 100%. Sucks though!!
Maybe, just maybe Columbus will come in with the attitude that they're in and give themselves a little rest. Quite frankly, it doesn't matter. The Blues fate is in their own hands. Win out and they're in. Lose or get an OTL and they'll need help.
Look for a strong start and a win for the Note tonight!!

Well I was wrong before but I believe one win and one otl gives us the playoff spot.
When was the last time we had such a big home game??
The place will be rockin.........too bad it ain't at the " Arena".

The Note is in! What a battle!
That's prolly one of the best games I've seen Tkachuk play. Hell the whole team was on ....they played as if it were for the final four not 8th place.
I don't know who we're playin just yet but please don't tell this team they are 'sposed to lose ....these guys think they are goin for the Cup.

Yep, they're ripe for a letdown. It will be a challenge to keep them "up" for every game. These past 10-15 games have been as intense as the playoffs. It's hard to keep that level of intensity for that long.
Let's look at the positive though. They're in!! Mason is playing at top level and looks solid. His mechanics are sound and he seems to always be in the correct position. He's giving up few rebounds and directing the ones he gives up, to the corners. They're scoring and it is coming from more than one line. The "D" is solid. albeit a little lacking in puck movement and offensive punch. Tkachuk and Backes are using their size, in front of the net and doing their jobs!! If the intensity stays strong, I see the Note giving San Jose or Detroit all they want.
Go Blue!!

It's amazing how mentally sharp Mason has remained thruout all of this....I am guessing he has never played better than right now. I am curious about the momentum thing too and how long they can keep it up......but .......I'm done worrying or wondering.......yep......that's right Leo....I'm a believer!! !!

Who's played better down the stretch than the Note? Uh... no one. They are hot, believe, and could make a little noise. I wouldn't want to play them in the first round if I were Detroit...

I wouldn't want to play anyone if I were Detroit. Those boyz are not looking as sharp as that should, for the level of talent they have. I picked them to come out of the West and win The Cup again!! Now I'm not so sure. Their goaltending has been average at best and their "D" is not nearly as strong as it should be. They are tough on the power play but they give up too many goals... It wouldn't surprise me to see Chicago make a run. They have really put it together in the last several games. I especially like their "D".
The only hope the Blues have is to simply outwork and out-hustle the other other teams. They must play physical and tight-checking games. If they try to get into a shootout, with end-to-end action, they will lose, especially with the likes of Detroit or Chicago...

Fork all that. I don't know how far the Blue's will go, but look at the stats. Who's the hottest team in the NHL since the all-ster break?

Damn boys....who'd of thunk it in December....a win tommorrow and the Note is in 6th place....playing Vancouver in the first round. That ain't a bad spot to be in.....we wouldn't play Detroit, if the rest of the series go to the highest seed, until the Conference finals.
I wasn't prepared to say this even 2 weeks ago.....but if we win tommorrow look for a crazy run by this team.
By God......we got a chance to do something here not done in damn near 40 years......go to the finals and get wiped out by Boston.

bwaaaaaaaaaa...............we spend 3 months at hells pace to go from last to 8th and now we can jump 2 spots in one game!!! Good things happen when you're the best in the league for 90 days.
Thanks to Minn for playin their guys out to take out the Preds.
For once in my life I wish it WAS Detroit. But it's SJ or the Caunucks......and I can gaurantee neither of them had us on their radar and prolly ain't likin what they see now.
I'd just soon win today to end on a win...get the 2 points and play the Canucks. That's plenty enough drama for me.
And Sptsman's right.....on this anyway bwaa......can the Blues sustain this intensity?.....bounce back if they drop 2 games into it? This is playoff hockey now and EVERY team will be trying to do the same.
Look at us...we all said just get in this year for the experience so it will pay off next year. Now I'm a believer so's if they lose I can't just slough it off....I gotta get pizzed off about it!
Brang on whoever and let's get at it. This believer chit is nerve-racking.

There's plenty of room on this wagon! Come aboard...
Solid win and great way for the boyz to wrap up the season. Best thing to do now is enjoy the ride, however long it lasts!! Vancouver is a damn good team and they have been playing pretty solid hockey. I'm sure they've been watching and will not get caught off guard by a surging Blues team.
It's playoff hockey and their isn't much better in all of sports!!!!!
