Whelp 8 games to go. We don't really play heads up against any team we are battling for the playoff spot....however THREE games are against the Jackets and we need at least two of 'em.
We have to be 1 game better than the teams in front of us...so without some outside help here that's prolly to win 5/6 of 8 or even 7 pending the others.
I just hope they finish strong........

6 teams within 3 pts. of each other fighting for 2 spots. I'm thinking now that it takes 92 pts to get in. We need 13 out of 16 pts. Of course, so do the other 5 teams. IN looking at the 65 schedules.....ours looks to be about right in the middle.....but the number of road games puts us in the top 2, at least, in toughness.
As far as I'm concerend, this IS the Blues playoffs, whether they get in or not it's great for a young team to experience.

Yeah retaliations have definitely stepped up.....you gotta admit the hit on Nash sparked the Jackets.....but I laughed hard when I saw him leave the penalty box and IMMEDIATELY beeline it to the corner to clean his clock. They will be looking for him tonight at their place.
Tkuchuk got the game star but it was Mason's.
It will be truely incredible if this team wins/ties today on their ice.

Tonight will not be a close game. Columbus will come out with fire in their eyes and misplaced anger. The Blues will have been told by Murray to expect it, keep their cool and focus on winning the hockey game.

Well you were right enough anyway...it wasn't any angry fire in their eyes they just got beat by the better Blues.
This is a run fellas......with the huge impact of the young guns I am trying to think of any past even close example teamwise to what we are seeing....I don't wanna go on and on with all the road games left but dayum impressed don't quite cover it........alls' I gotta say is " Go Blues!"

Never a doubt with this game. They had this one won before they even stepped off the plane. We are simply a better team than Columbus and there was no way they would have a meltdown after blowing last night's lead and needing the shootout to get the 2nd point... You knew they would play a hard 60 minutes of hockey and would only allow a goal or two. Heck, one of those goals was a fluke bounce!! (officiating was terrible again today - both ways)
What "The Note" needs to worry about is Chicago, Detroit and Minnesota, in 4 days. Chicago has not been playing all that great and there are some nervous folks in the Windy City. I've been up there on business several times in the last 4-6 weeks and I've been listening to the sports radio. They're a little concerned with the Hawk's play as of late. So, I think it will be a tough game but I give us a real good shot at winning that one. Detroit may be another matter. They are simply a better team. The Blues need an A+ effort and Detroit to have a slightly off-night. If they bring their A-game, we're screwed. Considering they're in a battle for 1st with San Jose, we may just see their A-game. Minnesota is very beatable, even at home. But that will be the 3rd game in 4 days and the boyz in blue may not have enough in the tank to finish them off. I saw some tired legs today. Fortunately, Columbus looked even more tired. I just hope these kids can go the full ride. Some of them have never had to to this and certainly not at this level. This is just as intense as playoff hockey!!!
If they can get 4 or 5 of the 6 points available on this swing, I'll feel real good about making it. If they only get 3 or less, it will be tough...
Amazing how these kids are stepping up!!
Go Blue!!

Zactly right .....although I think they are nervous in Columbus now too....they gave away two goals with horrible play.
The Wings sure didn't help us any today.....yet on top of all their talent advantage they seem to have OUR number.
Hell the Wings may well end up 2nd.....8th may be a better spot than 7 for us.....I just know it's a hell of a lot better than 9th.

A hat trick is 3 goals made by one player in a game....
Now do not ask me what icing and off sides are.

The finer points and rules of hockey explained in SLAPSHOT:
Jim Carr: Hi, Jim Carr again. Denis, I know that some in our audience don't know the finer points of hockey. Could you tell them, for example, what is icing?
Denis Lemieux: Well, um, icing happen when the puck come down, bang you know, before the other guys you know. Nobody there, you know. My arm go comes up then the game stop then start up.
Jim Carr: I see. What is high-sticking?
Denis Lemieux: High-sticking happen when the guy take the stick, you know, and he go like that
[high-sticks Jim Carr]
Denis Lemieux: you know. You don't do that.
Jim Carr: You don't do that?
Denis Lemieux: Oh no, never, never.
Jim Carr: Why not?
Denis Lemieux: Against the rules. You know, you're stupid when you do that. Just some English pig with no brains, you know.
Jim Carr: Uh, what is slashing?
Denis Lemieux: Slashing is um, like that
[demonstrates on Jim Carr]
Denis Lemieux: you know.
Jim Carr: Mm-hmm. And there's a penalty for that?
Denis Lemieux: Yeah and for the trip also, you know like that
[demonstrates]
Denis Lemieux: . And for hook like this
[demonstrates]
Denis Lemieux: . And for spear, you know, like that.
[demonstrates]
Denis Lemieux: You do that, you go to the box, you know. Two minutes, by yourself, you know and you feel shame, you know. And then you get free.
