Jeff Quirin: Bluenotes for March 9th: Is Halak or Elliott the Playoff Starter? A collection of Blues related talking points: Who starts in goal come the playoffs, TJ Oshie has arrived, Backes for Selke and ranting about ranting Rivermen fans.

When you're working with a 1a and 1b scenario and talking playoffs, you go for the guy who has proven he can do it first. Halak carried a team once to the conference final against seemingly impossible odds. He's the guy until he isn't the guy, in my opinion.

Was gonna say the same thing. I'd go with Halak just because of that run with Montreal. It's good to have a back up plan.

I wish my team made the playoffs....

Not sure why its even a question. No doubt Halak is the man in the playoffs. Elliott has been great but Halak is still the starter and will be in the playoffs.

I can't (frank)ing WAIT to see halak in the play offs....

He was SOOO GOOD in montreal... I don't know why we got rid of him *sigh*

I don't even like price.. he is cocky, flashy, and just plain weak blocker high and glove high, He is a pretty decent suck it into your chest type guy though.

I wish my team made the playoffs....

They will make the playoffs... as soon as they move to Quebec or Brooklyn...

Because statistically they're close. That will lead to those who don't know the situation asking. Therefore, I answer the question.

Blues fans said the same thing not so long ago...

Exactly.

Halak, if you know what's good for you.

halak no question

there's still a month remaining in the season and the Blues will be on a 7 game road trip after tonight. IF halak is the starter he has to continue to win games and show consistency. There wont be a clear cut starting goaltender until the last few games of the season

I picked the blues to win the cup so hopefully whoever it is gets the job done. You go with Halak though. Not a question to be thought about. Halak packed a god awful team to the conference finals.
