This may be the closest thing to a playoff game we have this season. Looking forward to a Blues victory. A 3-2 win feels about right. Kyrou scores again.

please, for the love of all that is good, lets not turn this into another love petro vs hate petro take over thread...
but if that does indeed happen, I won't care as I will be at the game with my daughter, with tickets provided by her
AND I was at the soccer game on Saturday with my other daughter, daughter-in-law and son, with tickets provided by him
finally a little ROI

I genuinely don't understand rooting against the Blues in this one.
We're currently 6 points up on the 11th worst slot that would give us a chance at 1st overall and 8 points up on the 10th worst slot. The 8th-10th worst teams are all in free-fall and 'catching' them with an 8+ point advantage seems extremely unlikely.
Meanwhile, a regulation win tonight gets us within 2 points of a playoff spot behind a Vegas team that is decimated with injuries and too many cap issues to plug all their guys back into the lineup if they get healthy. One of their most recent injuries is their starting goalie.
The odds of a top pick are extremely slim at this point. Realistically, we're talking about making the playoffs and picking 17th/18th or missing the playoffs and picking 12th-15th. At that point, give me a playoff push. Especially if it can come at the expense of one of the NHL's new heel franchises that bought a ton at the deadline.
I snagged last minute tickets to this one and will be there hoping for a Blues win. I won't be devastated if they lose, but this game should have a playoff atmosphere and playoffs are fun.

Yeah the chances of a draft pick below 14 are pretty much nil. It’s either wildcard 2 or 15-16th pick at this point.
After watching VGK's last four games, I can't say I'm to hopeful we'll make the playoffs, regardless of tonight's result. In all those games they looked closer to the Stanley Cup champions than a bubble team, despite the players they are missing. Granted, they lost to the hapless Flames just before that, and the other three wins were against weak teams, but the Blues aren't dominating any of those weak teams like VGK did.
That said the standings are the standings, and we do have a real shot at this. So lets go Blues! Given how VGK look to me this is 100% a must-win game because if we do end up sneaking by them, it's going to be close.

Go Blues. Would love to see the Blues come out with their hair on fire and just take it to them. I have my doubts, but it'd be fun to see. Curious if Bannister pulls the goalie if the score is tied in the third. Probably not, but Vegas getting any points tonight puts a serious damper on the slim playoff hopes.

The proverbial four point game. Don't see a lot of these anymore. Looking for a big game out of Thomas, he's struggling to produce since the calendar flipped to March. Would love to see Binner come out and slam the door in what everyone on the Blues has to consider a must-win game.
Not sure if I can watch the game b/c I don't have NHL Network, but I'm full throat cheering for the Blues to win. f*** draft slot concerns, I trust our scouting staff at this point over what some dude on the Athletic thinks.

To each their own. We will get smoked in the playoffs. I'd rather pick one spot higher than face any of the top teams we are likely to see in Round 1.
My reason. For wanting us to lose has never been that we can't make the playoffs. It's that we can't do anything if we do. That still stands for me.

Yeah it's been an "illness" the past 4 games. I can't think of the last time an NHLer has missed a full week due to an illness that wasn't Covid (or obviously very serious).

Rooting for the Blues in this one. Regardless of if they make the playoffs or not, they’re probably drafting in the 14-17 range. Might as well try to screw over Vegas in the process.
