Terry Frei at ESPN didn't have Big Al making it in this year, he was rooting for Larionov and Glenn Anderson instead of MacInnis and Stevens.

Well I think even the organization realizes where they are, when they added King & Backes to the Peoria playoff rosters that should have told anyone still harboring hopes of them making the SCPO's that the season is done. I think that it will be Calgary that ends up in the 90 to 94 range. And for th...

Update: 99 points to make the playoffs. 17 games remaining. 33 points needed Record to make the playoffs based on current paces: 16-0-1 Want to lay a friendly wager that it doesnt take 99 pts to get into the playoffs? For Calgary to get to 99 pts they will have to win all their games against non pl...

Again, all of this is besides the point. The discussion here is really should the Blues be sellers at the deadline. IMO, the answer is a RESOUNDING yes. It really depends on how we play up to the deadline. And trade deadline day should be very interesting to say the least. I don't think they should...

I would like to see them get something other than picks, I would prefer thtey get someone that can contribute this year. Similar to the deal they got for Weight last year you mean? Essentially didnt they just get a first rounder? Werent the others throw ins? I forget exactly what they got, I do rec...

So they stick with the status quo for "2 games of 17K" as opposed to trying to improve the team for the long run and maybe get 12 games at 17k? How has attendence been this year? Pretty good? You think they want to stick with lousy regular season attendance year after year in exchange for 2 playoff...

I am still waiting on someone to tell me how the St. Louis Blues could stay in business by missing the playoffs or tanking for multiple years in order to get those high draft picks? Ladies and gentlemen your 2011 stanley cup champions... the Portland Blues.... To say there is no logical reason to ke...

My great grand mother used to talk to herself and if you asked her who she was talking to she would 'Someone with some damned sense'....

Now I know how she felt...

A poster that I respect quite a bit asked this question on another board. Why should they re-sign old guys when there will be 28-year-old forwards available as unrestricted free agents this year? I can't wait to see all of you jumping off this 'Cup Contender' bandwagon the first time the Blues go o...

So obviously the blues have to win tonight and saturday but they needed to do that anyway, but if they do there is at least a possibility that they could be below the 6pt threshold before the break. I thought the 6 pt. threshold was to be at the trading deadline, and not the all-star break? It is, ...

I posted this over at Stltoday, it is possible that the blues could be 5 pts out of 8th by the all star break, if they get help from Chicago, Dallas and Anaheim if the stars stay at 51 and the oilers lose 1 of their 2 before the break the only team that can even tie 51 is Col and that is all they ca...

Bad business is continually losing money.

Winning Cups, from a business standpoint is not the ultimate goal, profitability and solvency is what they are looking at.

Over their last 17 they are 10-3-4, assuming shootout losses and OT losses are counted as ties. Either way they have 24 pts (1.41 per game) over their last 17, a record of 11-5-1 would yeild 23 pts.

My case is that losing isn't all bad...especially when the best case scenarion for this season really isn't that good. Well, technically speaking, the "best case scenrio" is the Blues continue their hot streak, make the playoffs, continue to be hot in the playoffs, upset some teams and win the cup....

29. St. Louis Blues (29): They went 8-2-1 in their last 11 games, but gained precious little ground in the playoff race. Though Blues fans might not want to give up on the season just yet, an early fire sale should yield huge dividends for 2007-08 and beyond, especially if the Coyotes remain in the...

You tend assert things as fact when they are really probabilities.

Did leaving the world probably out really bother you that much?

apparently

I badly need a vacation or or a beer.. or something

That's the percentage of points they Probably have to earn the rest of the season to have a shot at making the playoffs.

What you also have to take into account is that the lack of attendence will most likely determine what they do. Without the revenues early in the season they will make every effort to generate revenues at the most profitable point the playoffs. Getting to the playoffs financially will strengthen the...

Some of you may read my quick statistical analysis of the Blues playoff chances posted here on December 20th: http://www.letsgoblues.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=412897#412897 I decided to up date this since they've been hot recently.
