We have the 2nd most points in the conference....4 pts. behind Chicago (1 less game played)...1 pt. ahead of Detroit (same # of games played).

We're 2-0-0 vs. Detroit so far this year and one point up on them in the conference. Going up 3-0-0 in the season series and going up 3 pts. on Detroit before the game in Detroit later this week would be very nice.

Wish Oshie were playing. Hope Langenbrunner is playing. Glad Elliot is playing.

Let's kick some ass tonight.

Amen . Let's hope they can stay active on tired legs.

Ells in goal eh?

Blues 3 (Shatty, Backes, Perron)

[Kreegz2]

A win tonight would be huge. Detroit is 13-2-1 at home this year, so it would be nice to walk into the Joe and manhandle them.

Back to back VS games for the Blues. Nice!

And any Blues-Red Wings tilt gives me the excuse to post this....

Good timing by this guy. When I was working in Detroit, we played the Wings twice at home. Now I'm home and we play them in Detroit. I shouldn't bitch too much, the "Joe" is a horrible facility to attend a game. I want to feel good about this one, but I'm not getting the right vibes. I'll say:

Wings 3
Blues 1

Hope I'm wrong on this one.

[Hotaru_Sobi17]

Right back at it tonight! Let's make it BACK-TO-BACK WINS!!!!

[drwoland]

Without Oshie, I'm not sure we have the fire it would take to beat the Wings at home right now..

3-2 Detroit. Hope I'm wrong because

[Ron Finger]

If the team plays a two hundred foot game, like Hitch has been saying, they could be in this one.

[STLADOGG]

Got to dominate the time of possession, win face-offs, and be physical.

Crombeen back in the lineup tonight.

In for... hopefully Crombeen bloodies up some Wangs.

Crombeen back in the lineup tonight.

Good to hear that this morning!

I have a bad feeling. If I was Hitchcock I'd tell the guys to sleep until noon and maybe some light jogging before game time but back to back nights just sucks... and the Red Wings are 13-2-1 at home this year and we barely got those wins in teh STL the two previous. idonno...

And every game I've seen Elliott play this year (I'm assuming he's starting?) he surrenders at least 3 goals I am apparently very bad luck.

Dead Things 3
Blues 1

Perron with the lone Blues tally.

Hope this is completely opposite, but without Oshie, I'm not feeling it.

The Dead Things did play in Nashville last night, so both teams had to travel around the same time. The back-to-back night thing should affect both teams relatively equally. Elliott should be the difference maker, IMO.
