GDT: Blues vs Utah. Is This How It Ends?

[Linkens Mastery]

Well. Here we go. One last game to take control of their own Destiny. If they win in Regulation they are in. If not. We have to see what happens with Calgary over they next few days. Lines got mixed up again with Neighbours back on the First Line with Kyrou with Snuggy and Schenn. Buckle up, take a deep breath, and let's have fun.

Edit : changed tag. Not epic enough

Half-assed to double-assed...that's the spirit! Everyone get in here you beautiful bastards.

Blues win 4-2, breaking this trend of blowing games late by tucking an empty netter to seal the deal. Snuggerud scores his first NHL goal. Defense looks much better than it has in 2 weeks with Parayko back with Fowler and Faulk on the second pairing with Broberg.

 

[SirPaste]

Just Win. (in regulation)

 

[TruBlueFan1970]

Hate that second line. Swap Bolduc with Snuggs who hasn’t been dangerous or creating much since his first game.

Also…..Blues coach Jim Montgomery said Holloway did some light stickhandling on the ice prior to St. Louis' three-game road trip last week but the forward "(isn't) even close to being ready to get back on the ice with us," and remains week to week.

Just beat the Coyotes, Yeti, Mammoths, Outlaws, or whatever they want to be called.

 

[Beninnola]

The lines make me happy.

 

[ScratchCatFever]

Ya just can't lose the last game of the season with a chance to clinch to a horse with no name.

 

[A Real Barn Burner]

Let nothing stop us from Clinching Tonight!

 

[Stealth JD]

This is it. For all the marbles.
No excuses, no letdowns, no tomorrow.
(Well, hopefully playoffs in a few days… Lol)

Let’s go Blues!

 

[mk80]

Let’s Go Blues! Let’s beat Utah and clinch this spot!

These added pressure playoff like games plus getting in playoffs will pay off long term for the development of the young guys!

If you lose your final 2 most important games of the year to Seattle and Utah, do you really want to face the Jets in rd 1?

 

[PeoriaBlues309]

Just several more hours to go. I’m so excited to be in the building tonight, let’s get this shit done boys.

I sure hope they go into this game with a Game 7 mentality. You can't (or shouldn't) rely on Calgary to help you out.

I want a Filthy one timed goal from Snuggy from a cross ice feed from Kyrou with Schenn having his ass in front of the goalie.

Season on the line, I can think of several other Blues I want taking a great Kyrou pass than the rookie whose attempted over 3 times as many shots as actually hit the net (21 Fenwick for 6 shots on goal).

they are definitely giving snuggy preference, arguably too much at times, hopefully it will start paying off soon

The thing about hip injuries (strains/flexors) is that they get better rapidly but until they do you cant do much in the meantime -- at least that's how mine have been. After 2-3 weeks of pain and having to limit putting any weight on it I would just wake up and feel great, but still had to be careful for a few days.

What is concerning is that he is 23 -- must have been more than a mild strain considering the lack of progress at this point. Still think there is a good chance we see him in round 1 should they make it and win a game or two.

Yep, very similar scenario to a game 7.

Yes. I’ll take Blues playoff hockey any day over watching other teams battle it out.

Agree 100%. He hasn’t done much IMHO and I would prefer to swap him and Bolduc tonight in this do or die game.
