every year, the same old optimism.  The Blues are the Cubs of hockey. Year after year.  My prediction for the last 35 years has been the blues will make the playoffs and lose in the 1st or 2nd round.  78% success rate.  I could have been a millionaire if I was a betting man.  LOL!  Good luck!

The Blues of years past had to play there best to compete with the Kings and Hawks. This year they can beat the top teams without needing a perfect game.  With all the injuries the team has had we are just now seeing what they can do. 14-3 since February 28th. Winning record against all the top teams in the West during this time and for the year. A coach who has loosened the reigns a bit and excellent goal tending.  Win on the road against chicago tonight in a game they did not play great never win in years past. But they still managed to win. I am drinking the koolaid...they look ready...now they gotta prove it.

Did you hear about the ST. LOUIS BLUES fan who called a talk radio sports show in ST. LOUIS & asked the host to forward a request he had to the BLUES players. The host asked the caller what his request was of the BLUES players. The caller responded that upon his death he requested that 6 BLUES players lower his coffin into the ground. When the host asked the caller why 6 BLUES players & not friends & / or loved ones the caller responded, " THEY HAVE LET ME DOWN SO MANY TIMES, WHY NOT ONCE MORE " !!!!!!! Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. Not a good idea to want to play or bet against a team that has won 3 cups in the last 6 years. " GO HAWKS " !!!!!!!

Last night's game showed how resilient this team is and how good goaltending can help you win against a good team.  Unless the Stars lose their last game and we win against the Caps, it's going to be a good series against the Hawks next week.

[Nitroman]

Yes it will be a series that I would not want to miss. The BLUES have a very solid team & are a legit cup contender. But, once the HAWKS get back #65 #81 #15 #2 #50 so are they & they should all be back for the series. Keith will miss game #1 but there is nothing they can do about that. I know the BLUES have a couple of guy's banged up also that should return so the playing field should be level. It's going to come down to skill / talent, who wants it more, & luck. May the best team win & may " I not suffer a massive coronary while watching it " !!!!!!!

so nitro are you a cubs fan too

No sir, the only sport I follow is HOCKEY & primarily NHL. Born & raised in Chicago, came down here 14 years ago ( STARTED FISHING TABLE ROCK IN 1976 ) when we bought the resort. Gave up on all other sports when I figured out all I am going to do is sit down & fall asleep. Really should not lie to you, watch DAYTONA 500, & SUPERBOWL, but that's about it. Back in Chicago I was a WHITE SOX fan when my kids were young. Been a HAWKS fan since I can remember & I am talking all the way back to Bobby Hull, Stan Makita, Glen Hall, a long time back. Had a whole bunch of really bad years to go through except 1994 when we lost to the PENNS. in the cup finals in 4 games ( WAS @ THAT LAST GAME WITH BOX SEATS ON THE GLASS ) & remember it like it was yesterday. Have 1 room in my house devoted to the "HAWKS & FISHING & NOTHING ELSE " !!!!!!! Got many of our guests that are from the ST. LOUIS area & are big BLUES fans. It can get pretty viscous & personal @ times out around the pool especially in April, May, June during the playoffs but I guess I have not crossed any lines yet as they keep coming back for more. OH, maybe it's the HAWKS decals that somehow find their way into their units & onto their windows & bumpers, still trying to catch that guy. " GO HAWKS, WILL BLEED RED - BLACK - WHITE - TILL THE DAY I LEAVE THIS EARTH " !!!!!!! The one & only thing I miss about Chicago ( THIS MAY SOUND BAD BUT IT'S TRUE ) even though I have 3 children & 6 grand children back there is " THE HAWKS " !!!!!!! But once a year we go back over the XMASS & NEW YEARS HOLIDAYS & I get over to the UNITED CENTER for a game or two, then back here I have the NHL PAACKAGE on my computer & NBCSN on the big screen so I somehow survive. Good luck to you if we meet in a playoff series, I really hope you guys win " 3 OF THE 7 GAMES " !!!!!!!

Well, we got what we wanted. Chicago vs St Louis. First round. 

Time for the Blues to show up and prove they're as good as people believe them to be. That monkey won't get any lighter until they get past the first round.
