Nothing good happened yesterday so it’s just best to move on. Blues need a win, as simple as that. The other big game is Preds and Ducks.

Detroit v Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh – Wings could fall back to the wild card.

Carolina v Columbus. Columbus – root for the team with blue in their logo.

Florida v NY Rangers. Florida – but fading hopes for the Panthers to make the wild card.

St. Louis v Dallas. St. Louis – need to start a win streak instead of just churning.

Philadephia v Ottawa. Ottawa – very slight chance at the wild card so let’s give Philly no chance.

Boston v Washington. Washington – loss by the Bruins can help the Panthers.

Nashville v Anaheim. Anaheim – I hate this game. No 3-pointer. If the Blues can’t take the West, at least win the Central.

The Penguins are sure playing nasty against the Wings today. Hornqvist laid a cheap shot on Zetterberg and then a little later Downie got a 10 minute misconduct for knocking down a linesman.

Going to be nice watching the Ducks smear the Preds..

Still two games in hand on them..Blues control their own destiny.

Ducks up 3-2 with eight minutes left..

Be nice to be tied for first with two games in hand..

Now 4-2 Ducks with under 3:00 to go. This will be a soul crushing loss for the Preds if it holds up, and I'm going out on a limb and say they continue to slide and finish 3rd in the Central.

Ducks win 4-2! Blues back in first in The Central. But they trail Anaheim by 2 points (but with 2 games in hand) - for The Western Conference lead (which they will need - if they meet Anaheim in The WCF).
