As always great write up Jason.

I had a bad feeling about the Arizona game being a trap game. Sure enough. The team has to be feeling a bit tired and probably felt they could half butt a win.

They really just need to just win their next two games. The pressure from that plus the amount of destiny it will afford them would be huge.

If only they would grow a pair and keep playing these college signees. To me you have nothing to lose. Why bother playing Butler when his play has just continually gone down hill the past two seasons?

My best guess is, due to the already depleted defense, the Blues just want a guy that can provide a steady few minutes each period. Nothing fancy and no rookie mistakes leading to a goal against.

Tonight should be fun. 2 points tonight goes a long way!

I understand the thinking but sometimes you have to be bold. They cannot assume they are going to win, which means it is a good time for development.

I'm with you. Butler is not going to help you win a crucial game, ever.

The Blues have three games left, now and if they find a way to sneak into the first round will play a maximum of six more games after that. There's not enough talent healthy enough to go any deeper.

Play some of young 'uns and see if they can create a spark.

The most important off-season acquisition this year will be whomever they bring in to coach the power play. It has destroyed this team this season.

Tough loss last night. Luckily Colorado also lost to keep us in a spot where we can still control our own destiny.

2 games against Chicago, and 1 against Colorado. Win out and we are for sure in. But it is looking like the winner of the last game of the season is going to get in.

I would love it if we win both games against Chicago and Colorado lose to San Jose, making the last game with Colorado as nothing.

Honestly, at this point I just want to go to at least a couple more games in my seats. I found out last night that my seats are being take out as part of the renovations this summer. I am not going to the Chicago game, so if we don't squeak into the playoffs, I have seen my last Blues game from my season ticket seats of 13 years. I loved my seats.



Please get in!!!

Caps should be sitting, or at least reducing some of their stars minutes. Capitalize on the opportunity boys!

Blues control their own destiny. Every chance to still make the playoffs. They better come out big tomorrow night. I am going to that game(my friends bday game also) then driving up to Denver for the game on Saturday. Have a friend that stays in Boulder and going to the game with him.


Lets Go Blues!!!!

Are you keeping your tickets? Are they at least finding you new seats in the same section or at least similar?

The Preds writer is so beyond biased it just gets worn out old.

The Blues better just win the next two games and hope San Jose destroys the Avs, making it a meaningless game.

Stupid Blues, if they beat Arizona, or just stepped on the Caps throats it would be a much easier path. Two eggs like that, in this situation, at this time of the year.

Yeah, I think so. They are going to give us more info in the next two weeks about our options for moving.

For my situation, I am in 329 above the Pepsi Plaza cutout.Currently, in both 328 & 329, there are rows A & B, then the cutout and rows begin again at row L through M in 328 and rows L through Q in 329. With the renovations, there will no longer be seating in 328 or 329 above the Pepsi Plaza cutout. Only rows A & B will remain.

So if I am able to stay in 329, it will mean moving down to a higher price point. We'll see what the options are. It might mean moving down and getting a half season going forward as I really like being on the end directly behind the goal.
