Brad and Sean will probably write about this more eloquently than I can. The Blues, the team that idled in 15th place much of 2008 clinched a playoff berth tonight (thanks Minnesota!). The Blues were so bad, Gallagher wrote about tanking to get a good draft pick. He wasn't being a downer — that was just how we all felt. Then David Backes tipped in a goal on MLK Day and shit started going right. Holy cow, playoff hockey is back in St. Louis.
Poor College Student will have links tomorrow — all of them should be awesome. The Bossmen I'm sure will have something to say, but Brad informs me there will be much drinking tonight. Enjoy the win, Blues fans. If you were here after the lock out and watched guys like Mike Glumac suit up, enjoy it even more.

So what’d ya’ll think…. who do we have the best chance against? San Jose, Detroit, or Vancouver?
I’m thinking San Jose… let’s take revenge for 2000 playoffs!!!
I'm thinking San Jose
Because we’ve played them tough all year…and we owe them payback from 2000-2001.

That a gorgeous chart
Until later. Son #1 has an 8:00 soccer game so it’s early wake up time. Not as early as our across the pond folks thankfully.
Don’t know if I’ll be here Sunday, but will be watching.
Off to bed...
Like I can pretend to sleep. I’ll catch everyone later – night, guys!
Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?
Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.
I don't give a fuck who the Blues play
As long as they play like they did tonight.
Only one good thing came out of Detroit, because nothing good would stay in Detroit.
I still need help with this NHL. com poll
we to beat columbus as the best story of the season.
Only one good thing came out of Detroit, because nothing good would stay in Detroit.
Why is Colombus considered the best story of the year at all?
Seriously, did they come out of nowhere in the season, or is it just cause they’ve never been in the playoffs?
I don't know why
But it must be stopped

Holy sheet
Unlucky 13 for the Ducks.
Stars tie it 3-3 with 13 secs left. Steve Ott on a heck of a shot. OT now
Just got back
Coaxed my old STH buddy to join me at this one, and I thought of Brad Lee’s “misty eyed=allergies” tonight as we suddenly got dust in our eyes on several occasions. This was a bit of an exorcism happening there, ridding the pain and bottoming out of the years since the lockout. We saw the MIN/NSH final on the out-of-town scoreboard, and we kept praying that they hold off before announcing it to the crowd. I guess 2:00 left is okay, but it still scared the bejeezus outta me.
I love that the BJs are really starting to hate Oshie, yet they still can’t knock him down. It ain’t the size of the boat that gets ya, it’s the motion of the Oshie…

Best night of my life...
and i wasnt even at the game
You say 'Tomato', I say 'FUCK DETROIT', so lets call the season off
Wow
I’m still in shock. Watching the highlights on the Blues site and when that buzzer sounds and the crowd roars like that, I tear up.
I guess sleep is out

How cool was it...
…that the FANS were the #1 star of the game?…
I know that “really” isn’t true on the official stat sheet, but we ARE the 7th man….
Lets Go Blues ! ! !
Damn
I wish I had 150 bucks to get some playoff strip seats,
fuck and yeah we’re in!
Holy Shit.
Holy shit. I’m in shock. What a dominant performance tonight. Speaking completely objectively – the Blues play like they did tonight, there is NO one in the Western Conference they can’t take down. NO ONE. Not even Detwat. It’s ON, baby.
Playoff FUCKING hockey. I didn’t get tickets for tonight, but I sure as FUCK locked up my seats for the playoffs. Holy shit I’m excited. Sleep is NOT happening tonight.
Jeff Q?
A great friend of mine from college.
I KNOW I’ve invited him here once or twice.

Holy fuck boys and girls......
we did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m still in shock, but I’m so happy I just had to say that at 3:54 AM eastern time that I want to thank all of you other Blues ex-pats for being my support system. The fun has only just begun :-D And now I can finally say these magic words
WE’RE IN THE MOTHER FUCKING PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
