Just get 2 points.

That's all that matters....good game, bad game, ugly game....it doesn't matter...just get 2 points....

At this point the 2 points don't even matter. Just focus on execution and sticking to their structure; it's all about trying to be fine-tuned for two weeks from now. The only other important thing is remaining healthy; but that's not something you can concern yourself with outside of giving guys (like Parayko or Krug) an extra night off.

Time flies! But congrats to Perron who is one of my favorite Blues ever!

What the hell happened to Krug?

 

[MissouriMook]

JR and Jim Thomas both reporting that there is a good chance that Vladdi is back in tonight with Clifford back out. Just what in the hell does Sanford have to do to get permanently stapled to the press box? I hope the first thing Kostin does when he is cleared to practice with the team is to beat the living shit out of Sanford and tell him "That's my spot now!"

What the hell happened to Krug?

Day-to-day with a bruised ego after reading comments from Blues fans online about his play...

They literally have a greater than 99% chance of making the playoffs. Focus on the gap-control, defensive responsibilities and puck possession and the results will come; mathematically clinching is an eventual certainty. At this time of year playing well in a loss is a better outcome than being sloppy and lucky to win simply because the opposing goalie was a disaster (for instance).

At this point we don't really have to worry about teams chasing us. None of them can get hot enough to catch us. Only way we miss playoffs is if we fall apart.

Is Backes playing? Nice to send him off into retirement with a video tribute tonight.

 

[Ranksu]

Couple days ago Mikkola had birthday.

I call you Mikkola!

 

[Tvillewr419]

Is Sanfords greatest accomplishment in the note taking that beating in practice that turned around the 2019 season?! I’m kidding, but yea if we could get that 20 game stretch of Sanford for 82 games, that wud be great

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

[Kaljis]
