Re: GDT: Blues @ Minnesota - 7:00 4/8
2For all the criticism Binnington takes (occasionally from me), I think it's cool as hell that fans of other teams can't stand the guy.
...but whatever, the Blues won the Cup!!!!!

3Giving up two shorties in 23 seconds is the performance Ive been dying to see

6The Blues played significantly worse in The 2nd Period, than they did in The 1st. The Blues' team defence has been piss-poor. Binnington hasn't been stellar. I'll be curious to see how well he plays after Army improves the team's defensive corps, and Berube also improves the team's overall defence. I guess I'll have to live with this year's Blues' season, and hope The Jets bring me a little satisfaction in The playoffs.

7Neighbours knocks one in!! Blues are back within two. I hope they won't tie it up (IF they still are in danger of another team dropping below them). Nice to see him score!
Re: GDT: Blues @ Minnesota - 7:00 4/8
8Buchnevich pops in the great long feeder pass from Leddy!!! Blues trail by only one! We need a Wild goal to cut The Blues' momentum.

9Ottawa won and Detroit lost, so we'll still be at the #11 draft position (via tiebreaker) even if we win.Robb_K wrote: Sat Apr 08, 2023 9:01 pm Neighbours knocks one in!! Blues are back within two.

10Another feeble clearing attempt by Parayko that could have been stopped by my dead grandmother, (may she rest in peace.). He often behaves like he's playing with a slipped disc (tries to move his body parts as little as possible, to avoid pain).
Re: GDT: Blues @ Minnesota - 7:00 4/8
11I'm not worried just about the standings tonight, but, rather at the end of the season. We need to finish no higher than 9th. Can we get down to 9th (or, at least 10th) with the 3 games left?RAFritchey wrote: Sat Apr 08, 2023 9:16 pmOttawa won and Detroit lost, so we'll still be at the #11 draft position (via tiebreaker) even if we win.Robb_K wrote: Sat Apr 08, 2023 9:01 pm Neighbours knocks one in!!

12Not a great game to watch. But, it was nice to see The Blues cut the lead back down to one. Nice to see Neighbours looking better. Lets hope Vrana, Kapanen, and Blais get hot again for the remaining 2 games, despite The Blues losing and "tumbling" down to the 10th worst record (or even 9th - IF that is still possible).
Re: GDT: Blues @ Minnesota - 7:00 4/8
13After losing tonight, we could still draft 8th, but we'd have to out (under) perform Washington, Vancouver, and Detroit. We're 4 points ahead of Washington and Vancouver, with 2-3 games remaining each, which is unlikely. Detroit is only 1 point behind and have 3 games to play.Robb_K wrote: Sat Apr 08, 2023 9:27 pmI'm not worried just about the standings tonight, but, rather at the end of the season.

Ottawa is now 2 points ahead of us and in the 12th draft spot (and just out of the Bedard sweepstakes) and we each have 2 games to play, Buffalo is 4 points ahead of us, but would have the tie breaker even if we win out in regulation and they lose out, so I think it's impossible that we drop to 13th or lower.
We're drafting at 11th currently (The last 'lottery' position), could likely move up or down by one spot, MAYBE reach 8th or 9th, but that looks highly unlikely. I'm pretty sure we'll end up 10th-12th.

Army will need to perform some trade magic.
Re: GDT: Blues @ Minnesota - 7:00 4/8
15Don’t give up hope yet, Blues are only two points ahead of the Canucks who sit 9th and have a game in hand. It’s still possible. Blues last two games are vs the Stars whoRobb_K wrote: Sat Apr 08, 2023 9:51 pmNot what I was hoping for once we knew we couldn't make the playoffs.

16Can't blame the players for being checked out... the season is over... even pro hockey players are humans... and who has ever cared about the last three days of anything when you're whole year was a failure.
