Blues Win = Sixth Place

PrintAt dinner last night, the waiter saw my Blues pullover and brought up Friday night's game. Then he asked about the team's last game, Sunday afternoon at Colorado.
Waiter Bill: "Hey if the Blues win, what place will they be in?"
Me: "Well it all depends on how the other teams today. But I'm sure the BJs didn't lose again and the Ducks have been on fire. But let me check the scores on my wife's phone."
WB: "Cool. I hope they don't play Detroit."
Me: "Maybe if they advance. Ok, it's loading...Holy...Crap. Columbus lost again and the Ducks lost in extra. Wait. That means...a win puts the Blues in sixth place."
WB: "NO....WAY. You're lying, right? Come on, don't tease me."
Me: "Trust me buddy, I'm as shocked as you are."
What's really funny is that Gallagher and I actually thought about not putting up a GDT today to signify what we thought about this game and probably the team's attitude towards it.
So here's your chart, graphical proof of the possibility. My favorite part: every Blues square is green. I fucking hated those red ones the last few weeks.

You had better hope to hell you lose today.
You don’t want any part of the Canucks in the first round. A four-game sweep is what you’d be facing.
So let’s just all play nice today. Take the loss and you can have the supreme satisfaction of upsetting the Sharks in Rd 1. There’s no need to get all greedy. Especially on Easter Sunday.
I think we'll take our chances...
…the Blues owe Vancouver some payback, too (first round, 2003).

Friend
I think it is we who should say, “You don’t want any part of the Blues in the first round.”

You're sounding a little scared
Looking at comments around the boards, it doesn’t look like anyone wants the Blues.
I’m torn on how I think we’ll play. Have we used up so much emotion just getting in that we’ll tank.
Or, have all the youngsters figured out how much fun this is and they’ve got another notch left to jack it up even more.
I’d just rather not play the hottest team in the NHL in the first round, thankyouverymuch.
Watch as Backes scores the G7 OT goal to win it for the Blues.
IF ...... IF
the Blues win today, we take 6th and play VAN…
and then we beat them but there are no other upsets…
our path to the Cup would be VAN, San Jose, and then the winner of the DET/CHI series.
How sweet would THAT be? But let’s not get ahead of ourselves, here …..

I certainly wouldn't mind an old-school STL/CHI matchup.
Ahhh, the glory days of the 90s, where we made Eddie Belfour flip out. All Huet would do is get that nutty French serial killer smile and skate off.
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.
OMG!!!! since my grandparents are taking a separate car to the god damn fucktarded easter gathering I might be able to make it home in time for the game.
If I’m not here on time, PLEASE understand that I fought and clawed to get home at the time I wanted too.

Today
The Blues need to take today seriously and try for 6th. Saying we would rather face SJ because we played them well is BS. We can play them in another round.
But, I do like the idea of resting Mason and seeing what Bishop can do.

Greetings from cloudy and rainy Denver
(and we need the moisture!). I have to work today, so not only am I not going to the game, I won’t be able to hang which youse all and enjoy the game.
Have fun, cheer loudly, and kick the Avenot’s fucking asses!
I hate and will always hate Patrick Roy.
Go Blues!
I take it...
that a certain link regarding tonights game will be posted somewhere?
I’m relatively new here and finally able to stay up and watch…

You might try here. No guarantees on the quality, though. Sometimes the Ustreams aren’t the greatest.
Thanks
I’ll try both!

or here
links to a game feed are almost always posted in one of the first few comments of a game day thread

I wasn’t sure what the procedure was
