GDT: Blues vs. Ducks| Potential Playoff Clincher| 7pm, BSMW|

[The Note]

*Projected lineup -- Edited: Tarasenko, Blais out*

Schenn - O'Reilly - Perron
Schwartz - Bozak - Sanford
Hoffman - Thomas - Kyrou
Clifford - Barbashev - MacEachern

Scandella - Faulk
Mikkola - Parayko
Walman - Bortuzzo

Binnington

VS.



If the Blues win AND Arizona beats LA in regulation the Blues will officially clinch a playoff spot. So we got that going for us, which is nice. Also likely that this is Backes' last time in STL as a player.

Congrats David Backes on a fine career in professional hockey.

If we win under any circumstances we clinch no matter what correct?

 

[AVictoryDive]

If we win under any circumstances we clinch no matter what correct?

No. We need Arizona to beat LA in regulation along with us winning. That will mathematically eliminate both Arizona and LA

Big hitter, the Lama

I’d love to have prime Backes on this team

Ducks are bad. I'd hope the Blues can handle this team short-handed as they are. If not, just don't lose anybody else to injury. I doubt Anaheim will be going full bore tonight so I'd rather see this handled like an exhibition game than like a playoff game.

 

[Ranksu]

Good to see MacMac in.

Happy to see no Krug.

Why? Our power play looks much better with him on the top unit

Walman can easily play PP. I even could see Walman be better fit in our PP vs Krug.

I hope nobody gets hurt, but I do recall Backes liking to put on a show any time he plays St. Louis

Ahhh, yes, the player with two points in the NHL and only ever had more than 20 points once in the AHL, can easily play the PP.

 

[Meatball]

Eff the haters. I like our defense.

At least he's moved on from needlessly ripping on Faulk?

Apparently we’re wearing the retros again

As long as it isn't the reverse retro.

Yeah only if we dont inflate his abilities and put him as our 1C.

 

[Ranksu]

What is there Blues game? Rags - Caps is fun.

 

[BlueDream]

At this point the thing I am most thankful about Backes is the fact that he left our team and allowed us to win a Cup. That’s what I will remember more than anything else, fair to him or not.

I hate these jerseys
