Big win for the boyz in blue... They need to reload and get ready for Dallas... I hope Murray has enough sense to let these guys rest, even make them rest. These games are so intense and have to be draining. We have NO EXCUSE for not beating Dallas. They're all but out of the playoffs and have been playing poorly as of late. Hopefully the Blues can jump on them early and help them get their dobbers down...
Go Blue!!

A week to go. Her's how it sits:
Columbus ...89 pts...78 games...chic, chic, stl, min
Anneheim....88pts....79 games...SJ, dal, pheonix
Nashville....86 pts...79 games...chic, det, minn
STL.........86 pts....79 games...pheonix, columbus, colorado
Minn........83 pts....78 games...det, dal, nash, columbus
Edmon....83 pts....79 games...LA, calgary, calgary
There's 5 different ways to look at this but with a game in hand and 88pts Columbus should be in unless Chicago decides to start playing hockey.
Anneheim has 2 pts on us and an easy way to get 4 more...they SHOULD BE in.
That leaves one slot open with Nash and STL tied up for it....the schedule is in our favor IF Chic and Detroit can play to win against Nash!!
Minn has a game in hand...(I hope they are still in it when they play Nashville) but they have a tough schedule and sit 3 pts back right now.
Edmonton too 3 pts back and has to play Calg twice ...not good odds.
Now all this is based on the better teams winning their games....last night the exact opposite happened with all of 'em and we lost ground. Will SJ, Chic and Det play hard to win or lay down??
Blues need to win 'em all and grab whatever falls off the table....there are no more gimmies left.

I'm still to pissed about the laydown last night. The Blues decided with about 5 mins to go that a tie or loss would be OK. Both the #3 and #4 goals for the Stars were the result of rookies not playing NHL hockey. On #3 Perron did not take his man in the defensive zone and he got an easy goal. If that kid thinks he is so gifted he doesn't have to come back in the defensive zone and help (i.e. do his job), he had better rack up 100+ points every year. That won't due. The #4 goal was simply an undressing of Polak. I'm high on that kid because he plays smart and loves to hit. So why the hell does he decide to play defense by poke-checking a man in front of his own net? A simple body check, knocks him off the puck and Mason clears it out. Rookie mistakes!! And I don't even want to talk about the game winner. Four players standing in a box, flat-footed, as if they were short-handed, just waiting for the Stars to take shots at Mason!!! Did anyone think it might be important to actually play hockey in OT?!?!?!?!
OK rant over...
The rest of the story is simple. They need to win out and need some help. Had they won last night, their destiny was in their hands. Now they have to rely on other teams that may be coasting and preserving energy for the playoffs...
Go Blue...

I didn't say nuthin about the game last night cuzz I fell asleep between the 2-3rd period!
Your recap doesn't sound too encouraging. Hopefully Murray saw it the same way.

Was sitting with two buddies, watching the game. Between regulation and OT, I said "If the Blues come out and play like they ended the 3rd, it will take Dallas about 2 mins to score..." I was wrong. They played worse and it took less than a minute...

I'm not making any excuses but every team needs out go out there and play hard to win. Now right now we got our own issues to worry about and that's fine....but friggen SJ better not be laying down on teams still in it. I figure Chicago and Detroit know they better get turned around so they should be bustin butt.....and as for the ones who are out of it I know damn well they will be lookin to knock off whoever they can along the way. Just so it's all level is all I ask.

Anaheim and Minnesota lose tonight, Columbus only gets a point in an overtime loss.....that helps.

That's fine.....but Anaheim only has Dallas and Pheonix left....and they can easily win both.
Bottom line.....Blues need to win out.
I thought 90 would do it.....and it may, but now, 92 gets it done for sure.

Right on both counts...but if the Ducks win out and we win out we are in ahead of them.
Been a great ride...hope they can finish strong.

uhhhhhhhhhh....I think I'm wrong about the Note over the Ducks if we both win out....I thought it was fewer losses but now I'm thinkin it's most wins? That be the Ducks.

The first tie breaker is number of wins.......look at the standings......that's not good for the Note....just saying.
Bottom line.....we still need help.

Sorry but the Note has to step it up here in the 2nd and 3rd....they are playing as if they are ahead and they ain't!
We can make a big move tonight...play like it!

The only thing I can say about Bryzalov staying in the game is that he must be holding one of Gretzky's kids for ransom.
Blues turned it on bigtime...great forecheck...one more period of solid play should do it for tonight.

Checketts, JD, Pleau and Murray have to be pretty damn proud of what they've put together.
