I had to double-check the standings to make sure they weren't in danger of potentially missing out on the playoffs entirely.

Wild card or bust!! Would actually prefer playing nashville first round anyways. Seen too many Hawk fans bag on the Blues this year and it has crow eating written all over it now that the Blues are getting healthy again. Preds on the other hand? Completely over performed this season.
But Hawks are heading towards the Ducks at the moment anyways. Im good with that. I seriously dont want the blues even though the hawks history against them is very good. But no kane? Blues win.

I didn't realize that this was a "Have A Skate With Bob" charity night with fans replacing the team.

I agree and keep in mind this Anaheim team is pretty terrible. Bad coaching, decent offense that Crow can shut down, bad goaltending/defense. They may be in contention for the presidents trophy but they don't pass the eye test and their shockingly low +9 goal differential backs it up.

My thoughts exactly. In fact, I was going to start a thread on that very subject, but you've already done an excellent job of summarizing it, and have certainly worded it better than I would have.
At the very least I'd like to see us ride these top-two lines for a while (more than twenty-minutes):
10 (20)-19-81
20 (10)-80-86
I don't have any strong feelings on how the bottom-six are arranged.
On the back-end:
2-7
4-27
44-5
I can't recall who shoots with what hand off the top of my head, so arrange the defensive pairings accordingly if need be (4-27 vs. 27-4). As you can see, I'm still holding out hope for 44. And even though 5 had a pretty rough game tonight, I still feel he's a more viable option than 32. He moves the puck decent-enough and has a good shot to boot. Which is also why I don't mind him on the PP.

What are you doing up at 10:00?!?!?!? I figured you guys would still be spooning.
Plus you normally don't crawl out of the dumpster until the crack of noon.

I've never really put a whole lot of stock into it myself. I mean, I have as much rep as you can get and I'm a goddamned moron. So... :dunno:

It seems like several times in the last month or two I've thought 'This is the worst game I've seen them play in a long time'.

The scoreboard doesn't accurately reflect it, but the Blue Jackets also fucked up the Blues last night in the Lou. That's something like their 8th- or 9th-straight road win.

I was in attendance for that game. Columbus is just playing incredible hockey right now.

Oh yeah? Nice! That must've been a real treat to see in person. I live in the Blues' market as well as the Hawks' market, so I'm able to catch most of their games on the tele as well. Tarasenko's goal was especially nasty, but besides that, the Blue Jackets definitely carried a majority of the play. They put on a real passing clinic with that second goal (PP). The third one wasn't too shabby either.
Makes me feel not as bad about our loss to them.
