I think . . . [the] Kings are done for the season, mentally.

Ya think?!  Did you see or read about McLellan's press conference after the game?

This has been such an awful season, although that made it easy for me to forego going through all the rigmarole and cost of going to a game.

It'll be interesting to see which of the core four are with the team to begin next year.  They have over $32M in cap space tied up with Kopitar, Brown, Doughty and Quick (plus $2.6M of Carter's salary and just over $1M for Dion Phaneuf).  Kopitar and Doughty aren't going anywhere.  I'd like to see Brown and Quick retire as Kings.  Brown could stick around for his final year, but I don't see how they keep Quick on the roster for two more years.


Just reading that the AVs are resting a lot of players tonight. I’d rather play Minnesota than the Blues as well. Curious to see their effort tonight.

Well...the Kings are starting Troy Grosenick in net, so....

Yep, the Avs will likely tank tonight to ensure playing the Wild in the first round.

Gary, you are far more optimistic about the Blues chances than I am. Let's hope I am wrong and you are correct.

I just like the way certain players have been playing heading into the playoffs. It was a brutal season given all the injuries we had but they have managed to right the ship and are playing a team game right now. With the Championship experience they have and the right guys playing well....all I know is I wouldn’t be excited about drawing them the first round. It’s not going to be an easy series to win against them.

Vegas and Colorado have really good teams. But you still have to execute when it counts. If they do then they’ll be tough to beat. But if their butts pucker and they start feeling the pressure then we will see what their made of. The majority of the Blues squad has proven they can handle the pressure of the Cup run. I think that’s just as valuable as anything else.

Very true, but Binnington will need to be on his game almost every night.  He can't pull this "mediocre one game, awesome the next" routine that he pulls far too often.  Don't get me wrong, I love the guy, and I give him the most credit for the G7 win over the Bruins (he played out of his mind in the 1st period before the rest of the team pulled their heads out of their asses), but a little more consistency sometimes would be nice.

I certainly hope so.  Vegas is one of only 3-4 of the playoff teams that I absolutely do NOT want to see win the Cup.

I agree. But, Ever since his “we’re coming” comment he’s been on his game. I forgot the stats but he’s been near the top of them for the past month or so. If he gains some momentum it’s good news.

This, so much. They’re my number 2 least liked after the Bruins.

Yes it should. We beat them opening night 4-1 then got stomped 8-0 then next night then:

Lost 3-2
Lost 2-1
Lost 4-3
Lost 4-2 (empty net goal...was 3-2)
Won 5-3
Won 4-1

Outside of the second game of the year we've played right with them in every game and even in a couple of those losses outplayed them but they found ways to win like good teams do. The last two games we beat them was after the Blues finally started looking like the Blues should. So, while they are a very intimidating team for sure....I'm not one of the ones who is convinced that Colorado is going to wipe the floor with us. You gotta play the games and earn it. Like I mentioned earlier....I like having that Championship run experience sitting on our bench. I'll take the 'underdog' role in this one. It'll be a fun series to watch.

I think he's trying to say that (other than the 8-0 ass-raping) all of the Blues' losses to them this season were essentially 1-goal games.

Yeah I know.  Still trying to be positive. Sounds like Kev isn't.  Honestly, I don't know what to think.  Our division the 4 teams in the playoffs all possible to get to the cup.

Well, the President's Cup winner hasn't made it past the 2nd round since 2015, so let's hope that trend continues and the Avs go down in the 1st round.  :biggrin:

I think I get where Kev is coming from as well. The Championship run of 2019 I and most Blues fans never had much doubt they'd win it all. Everything fell into place and they were just playing SO confident and well as a team and as fans there was never a sense of worry or that they weren't going to pull it out. It really was a 'magical' run and experience. It's tough to explain.....

That feeling was a once in a lifetime deal I think. There's certainly not that feeling surrounding this incarnation of the Blues given the season they've had. Where my optimism falls is just leaning on the experience that they have from that run and the fact that they are just now over the past few weeks starting to play as a team and have a good team game going. Will it be enough to be able to beat two juggernaut teams in a row? Who knows? But I don't think they're in danger of getting slaughtered 4-1 or anything like that. I can easily see a 7 game series happening given how well they've played against Colorado. Anyway.....

It really was.  While guys like Tarasenko, O'Reilly and Petro were/are all really, really good players, it's pretty hard to repeat as champs and/or get a dynasty in hockey without at least one or two true superstars, and the Blues didn't really have one.  That is why that run did have that lightning in a bottle feeling.

It's crazy how that happens sometimes.  Heck, looking at baseball, the Cardinals were awesome in '04 and '05, but didn't win the World Series either year, and then won it in '06 with a team not nearly as good as the two prior ones.  Or take your Patriots in football where the best team of the Brady/Belichick dynasty ('07) didn't win it.  Just goes to show ya that it matters most how you are playing come postseason time, which I guess harkens back to Gary's point about the Blues, who probably are playing their best hockey lately.

I correctly predicted a Caps OT win today, although I said it's be 4-3..

Bruins found themselves in an OT game despite playing pretty unengaged hockey tonight. They're going to need to pick it up big time.

I correctly predicted a Caps OT win today, although I said it's be 4-3..

Bruins found themselves in an OT game despite playing pretty unengaged hockey tonight. They're going to need to pick it up big time.

I only watched the OT, but Anderson has only played what ... 2 games all year.  They should've been crashing the net and throwing the puck at him at every opportunity.

Why are the North games not starting until Thursday?

They start Wednesday. Why? Who the fuck knows. They likely had to wait due to Calgary and Vancouver still playing regular season games.

With them both out, I still fail to understand why the North playoffs could start as early as tomorrow (Tor/Mtl) and Monday (Edm/Wpg).  It makes no sense to me.

B's not hitting the net enough. Then crash the net.

Perron placed in COVID status two days before playoffs.  :censored  If this isn’t a false positive then I will amend my optimism. Outside of Oreily.....he’s the most important forward we have. He finished over a point a game and has been playing great.

He’s the third Blues to hit COVID protocol in the past week. Hope this isn’t an outbreak. I doubt the league postpones the playoffs for the Blues. I believe they would if it were a couple of the darling teams but have no doubt they’ll make the Blues play the games with beer vendors and equipment managers.

Losing Perron will be brutal.
