Games of Interest 3/1-3/8

This is a really big week in terms of the blues playoff push. Both Dallas and Minnesota have to play San Jose this week and Nashville and Edmonton will be facing off against Eastern conference teams that could provide an opening for the blues to move up in the standigns.

Here are the games we need to be watching this week with the optimal result (I think, sometimes the outcome sucks either way) for the blues in parenthesis.

Sunday:
Dallas - Pens (pens win!)
Hawks - Kings (Hawks win, which is good for later)
Van - Cbus (van)

Monday:
none really, two terrible teams play one another.

Tuesday:
Detroit - Blues (obvious)
LA - Cbus (LA, we need to really really root for LA this week, like theyre our adopted second team hard.)
Edmonton - Nashville ( gotta pull for nashville, we have a game in hand on them and the preds have fewer points than the oil)
Anaheim - Chicago (go hawks)
Minnesota - Vancouver (go Sedins)
Dallas - San Jose (go sharks)

If we Win Tuesday and both Dallas and Minn lose we will leapfrog them in the standings.

Weds (Trade Deadline Day):
No games of consequence for the note.

Thurs:
Dallas and LA (go kings, hopefully having lost the last two games)
Cbus - Nashville (cbus, i guess, but this makes it hard to reach them)
Minn - SJ (sharks)
Edmonton - Ottawa (sens)

Here, if they win, Dallas and Minn both get a chance to bounce above us in the standings again.

Friday:
Blues - Bolts (obvious)
Anaheim (pronger less?) - Dallas (this one flat out sucks. If the blues win then we need to pull for dallas, but if we lose in tampa it may be better for anaheim to win because we at least have games in hand on them, just no overtime, please.)

If the Blues win Friday night it knocks them up to 68 points and into what would probably be eigth place if everything listed here follows.

Saturday:
Blues - Panthers (J-Bo less?)
Minn - LA (go kings)
Edmonton - Toronto (leafs)
Nashville - Philly (flyers)
Cbus - Det (wings)

As I wrote at the top of this, its going to be a hell of a week. Throw the trade deadline frenzy in there and this could be the most exciting week of hockey St. Louis has seen since the lockout.

Thoughts??

And if no clear winner emerges from all of this, the two-man sack race will be held on consecutive Sundays until a champion can be crowned.

Yeah I was checking this out

trying to always figure who it’d be best to hope wins. I believe that we also have a game in hand with Columbus or will have one soon. As long as we continue to pass teams up and win then it doesn’t matter too much as long as the teams above us don’t win all their games. I’m thinking we need at minimum to win three more games in a row before a loss. Putting us up to 70 pts. This will have us on the edge or in the top eight.
