Mr. Empty Netter with the Empty Netter!

[glen a richter]

great game padding the stats by Backes.

[ViPeRx007]

Kind of an ugly game, especially early on, but whatever. A win is a win. Lets keep it rolling vs. Detroit!

[dmiles2186]

Blues play one of their more uneven games in quite some time and still come away with the victory. Hate to see the goal-less 3rd period streak come to an end, but I'll take the 2 points.

Seriously, why was Brewer captain all those years? Captain Davey is the mang.

And props to Reaves for the fight to turn the momentum and hitting everything in sight.

This is a fun friggin' team to watch.

in related news, Chicago is losing (may have already lost by the time I finish posting this). Nashville getting the 2 points, it's really tightening up even more. Every win in a must.

[STLADOGG]

13 points separate the Blues and the 9th spot.

[WaukeeBlues]

CAN'T be the reason the Sabres start to turn it around.

Relentless Blues, let's roll.

Blues 4
Sabres 2

Count it!

[Nyghtewynd]

Is there any sane individual who wants to fight Reaves right now? He is a baaaad man.

[WaukeeBlues]

Also: Really, really like that top line of Oshie, Backes and Perron. Hitch can do what he wants with the other three lines but he needs to keep those guys together.

Well, unless something dire happens (Blues fans know how that happens) we *should* make the playoffs.
The current frontrunner for our first round opponent.... That's right, the motherfucking Blackhawks.. what better way to get back into playoff hockey than facing the true enemy (and kicking their balls up into their throats)


I do NOT want to play Nashville... for any reason.. ugh!

[drwoland]

I didnt get to watch the whole game, but I get the impression the berglund/Stewart line just plays zero real defense.. Probably contributed to the unevenness of the game. No goals and no defense? Gtfo.

Perron is looking great out there. He's fallen back from the initial point-per-game rate he was at when he first returned, but I won't be surprised if he ends the season at that mark.

Reaves = beast. Beat the shit out of a much larger dude and put in some decent work in the offensive end.

That's why it's important to win the division. If you don't finish first, you very well may play Chicago or Detroit in the first round in the 4th vs. 5th matchup.

The way Detroit, Chicago and ourselves have been playing all year so far... I'd say it's damn near a certainty.

And even if you DO with the division, if you take first in the west you end up in the same scenario anyway. Any way you slice it I think it's almost a guarantee Central vs. Central in the first round this year... not that that's difficult considering 4 of the 5 will likely be in the playoffs

There is a lot of season left.

This.

I could care less who they play or what spot they are in. Gotta actually make it before all of that.
