This is one of those critical 4 point swing games that are crucial to win if you want to discourage teams still scrambling for the playoffs, to say nothing of the fact that you put yourself in a better position as well. Another "really really need to win" game.

True but it's less painful losing to, say, the Capitals or Sharks as opposed to the Wild, Stars, Flames, etc, if you want to talk in terms of not only point received but points denied other teams.glen a richter wrote:are there really any non-must wins at this point?

Exactly.glen a richter wrote:are there really any non-must wins at this point?
Is there a ranking system for must-win games? Something like "must-win or be eliminated" at the top, followed by "standard must-win," then "pretty sure this is a must-win," and finally "probably a must win but if we don't it's still theoretically possible that we can make up the points in the remaining games although it's going to make things more difficult" at the bottom.

I believe we should just shorten that last group to pamwbiwdistptwcmutpitrgaigtmtmd, just for the sake of simplicity.gaijin wrote:Exactly.glen a richter wrote:are there really any non-must wins at this point?

Is there not a penalty for hitting after the whistle?

Nice scrap with DJ King and Boogard (sp)...but I don't understand the penalty on Walt; I'm not sure what game the Refs are watching today!

Good to see that the Blues decided to end their season before the NCAA selection show was over. Way to go, guys.

No, he isn't. He's been doing it all season. He did it twice tonight and it cost us a goal.#1ELPBluzFan wrote:Freaking horrible clearing attempt...right up the middle!?!??!?!?

The biggest complaint I have about Jackman is his inability to clear the puck out of the zone. He's horrible at it.

He was horrible at everything tonight. I would say that was his worst game of the year, but he may take that as a challenge and actually play worse in one of the games we have left.
Now the worst home team in the league has to try and make up serious ground with the majority of our remaining games at home.

honestly why didn't Conklin get the start? I can understand you want to go with the hot goaltender with Mason, but come on he's not superman.
