Let's Go Blues

Every year every pundit picks a low seed to upset a high seed, this year I think this series will be the one a lot of guys pick. Well, this one and NJ over Florida, and Chicago over Phoenix... But those don't count. The three seed is usually a joke anyway. So far I've heard of no one picking SJ ove...

They haven't looked good lately, that's for sure. Sort of like the Blues. I really wouldn't be all that surprised if Ottawa takes them the distance, and then who knows what happens in a Game 7...

Wow, Flames up 3-1 now. Unless I'm missing something, if the Flames can hold on in regulation and the Blues win out, STL will take the West. We have the greater number of non-shootout wins, so I think that we can grab it. I know that the Blues will have fewer wins, but I think that they can still w...

Yeah, I'll call that out as being idiotic.

If Reaves' misconduct and ejection was unjust, then Franzen doesn't deserve one either. Both should have been two minute penalties, with Franzen's being 4 minutes at most.

You pansies need to buck up. Who's to say someone else would not have put the puck in the net besides Franzen? Franzen's non-call didn't force us to give up two goals. As a team you have to overcome that crap. And, gosh darn it, they did overcome it. Then Datsyuk was Datsyuk, and that's all she wro...

If that's legal, then I'm a banana.

And, we should start doing it to every team's captain, starting with Doan on Friday.

Also: someone PLEASE score a goal in the shootout. Holy goodness. It's a good thing there aren't any shootouts in the playoffs. They just need to watch The Mighty Ducks movie...triple deke. If Oshie, McDonald and Perron can't get it done, let's just start sending out Polak, Nichol and Colaiacovo. T...

Elliott is a monster. Again he didn't put the Blues in a spot where they were chasing from behind, and he saved more than his fair share. I see no way he could've saved the two Franzen goals.

He should start against the Coyotes.

If the loss to Columbus was disconcerting, then tonight's effort should be heartening. Two evenly matched teams in a great game that happened to conclude with a stupid ending in a stupid skills competition. Allowing a comeback is unfortunate, but what can you say: their goals were a result of fatigu...

Except no self-respecting Blues fan would ever pick the Chicago broadcast

The biggest question is still "Who do we want to win the NSH/DET series?" (assuming we get our sh*t together and win our series) The benefit to the 2 seed is that we escape the winner of that series as long as LA (or whoever wins the Pacific, it's still too close to call) beats Chicago. I'd say LA ...

With the Rags and Canucks winning last night, both the President's Trophy and first in the West seem highly unlikely now. I'd say that's a good thing. Time to focus on playing good hockey to get ready for the playoffs. Tonight will be a sweet victory. Blues 5 Wings 2 Ells' streak continues into the ...

The second seed is almost better than the first. Suppose no upsets, seeds 1, 2, 3, and 4 advance. The number 2 seed plays the 3 seed. The 3 seed is worse than the 4 seed. I'd rather play LA than Nashville. Stephen Schmanske, a Professor in California, suggested to me that teams should be able to pi...

It seems kinda sucky that Chicago gets a first-round reward for being 4th in their division by getting to face the worst division-winner. A similar thing is happening in the East, where New Jersey escapes the Philly-Pittsburgh buzzsaw and gets to play Florida. I'm thinking that if the NHL proceeds n...
