Blues looked very bad down 1-0 after the 1st against an extremely shorthanded Rags lineup. Sitting Lundquist and missing Stepan, McD, Zucc, Klein, Moore. Similar disinterest as was exhibited by Detroit last night.
I hit my head today..What do we want the Blues to do again?? Win or Lose?

When the Blues play the Islanders, who do you root for? Just no OT?

I think we have 30th basically secured.
No, we want the L.
Much more important for us to lock-up 30th overall than to maybe push the Blues pick (which will be in the mid-20s) up one spot at most.
Actually draft picks 15-30 are determined by playoff finish, so, if we're assuming St Louis is a playoff team, a loss vs St Louis is beneficial because it affects our draft pick. St Louis could win the presidents trophy, they are knocked out of the playoffs int he 1st round, they pick 22nd. They finish as the 8th seed and win the cup, they pick 30th.
Right.
So unless we believe that the Blues losing to us tonight would be the difference between them making or missing the playoffs (which I doubt), it is better for us to lose and continue to lock up 30th.

Playoff seeds matter though.
