So if we get 9 out of the remaining 18 pts, you think we are making it?
AskarovWith Saros struggling in the last game, who starts on Saturday? Saros or Lankinen?
10 points guarantees us being in. Any game St. Louis loses makes that number lower too. So yeah it’s possible we could miss the playoffs but it would take a pretty major collapse in which case it’s probably better we miss anyways.St. Louis has 18 remaining points that are obtainable. They are 8 points behind. It's certainly possible they'd catch us, Their schedule is easier than ours I would say. We can't coast thinking it's over, but if we can beat them and get a few more wins then things should be taken care of.

Data is a funny thing. Are we the team that went 5-10 to start the year? The team that then went 14-4 and something? The team that then went 3-7 or something to that effect or the team that went 16-0-2 and then finally lost one?I'm, not a fan of the term "must win game" unless it's an actual elimination game. This Avalanche game is an important game for the psyche of the team but probably more so the fans. The team believes in themselves and are confident in their ability to win this game, even if they do lose they aren't going to give up on themselves.
The fans on the other hand, seem to be waiting for the losing streak that proves the points streak was a fluke. In that sense, for the fans, this is probably a must win game, whether or not it actually is a linchpin game in the standings.
I'd rather stay in the Central. If they end up in the Pacific, they have Edmonton in round 2 if they can even manage win against Vancouver. They are more likely to get swept by Vancouver.Do we even want to catch the Jets, though? I'd much rather go in as the WC2 and take on Vancouver, than sneak in as the 3rd in-division and go against Colorado.
Plus the Jets lost. Still 4 points back of 3rd.Blues lost to the Sharks tonight, 4-0.
Magic number drops by 2 poi s even with our ugly loss
If I had to guess I'd say most blues fans are resigned to not making the playoffs this season, but for any who aren't this has to be a wtf moment for them..
Edited to add, Kings lost too, so as ugly as it was last night, we lost didn't lose any ground and our magic number got smaller
And Minnesota forfeited their loser point by pulling the goalie and losing in OT.
The Knights players said they were looking for the "surprise" move from Hynes.Blues lost to the Sharks tonight, 4-0.

Yeah sadly you didn't miss much once the penalty happened. Just completely destroyed all of our momentum, combined with other calls that were/weren't made I think it was a tall order for the guys after that.Had family stuff yesterday and only saw the third period. Seems like that penalty really changed the game and it was essentially over by the time I tuned in.
I have been posting a bunch of good, happy stats and notes lately but unfortunately time for a bad one:
We have allowed 19 goals in the last 3 games. Before that we had allowed 19 in the previous TWELVE games combined.
Yikes......
