Blues Finish In Sixth; Vancouver Up Next

PrintWith a 1-0 shutout win over the Colorado Avalanche Sunday afternoon, the Blues hopped over the Anaheim Ducks AND Columbus Blue Jackets to earn sixth place in the Western Conference.
Sixth place is maroon. What's eighth, pink?
The Blues are arguably the hottest team in the league with a 9-1-1 finish down the stretch. Screw that talk about how they've played since January, they've been hot in late March and early April. Apparently Chris Mason didn't want to go to San Jose this week.
This is your celebratory game wrap-up post. We'll have stuff talking about the creepiness of Vancouver, breaking down the matchup and hopefully some funny stuff to entertain you waiting for the Blues' first playoff game since Mike Danton was a free man.
Sixth. That's crazy.

Thanks for having me
alas, real life calls. Bleck.
Making stuff up since real Leafs news is far too depressing
Excellent!!
San Jose might have been a weaker draw, but I’ll take my chances with Vancouver…I love that this team finished strong!
Remember way back there in late February, I think, Brad posted 5 keys for the Blues down the stretch…something like that…Goaltending and finishing strong were two of the keys…fuck if I can remember what the others were, and I’m too lazy to look it up…maybe someone will repost that before the playoff games begin to see how we did against that…my sense is that we did pretty good…we got sixth seed from it!
I'm not afraid of 'em .....

Sixth fucking place!!
Now I’ll really be rooting for Columbus or Anaheim, that way no Detroit in Round 2

Let's go Blues!
Wonderful finish
Let’s hope the great play continues through June

Luongo vs. Mason
I think that will be the key to this series. Whichever goalie decides his team isn’t going to be allowed to lose. I’m not scared of Vancouver.
I’m amazed by what this team has managed to accomplish. These guys are the best NHL team in 2009. I hope they can keep the same intensity from here on out.
I would love to see Kariya back out there, but only if he is completely ready to go.
Wow, the Blues are Even Steven...
41 wins, 41 (technically – let’s not argue this one for sake of backing up the point) losses.
227 goals for, 227 goals against.
Quick, somebody steal a twenty from them and see if tomorrow they find another twenty in the pocket of an old jacket.
I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.
Yahoo Sports Is showing it as 233 for - 233 against.
So I don’t know where 227 came from…unless FSN wasn’t counting shootout winners? Which would also mean the Blues went Even Steven in shootouts (6-6)…does that seem right?

Holy shit!
That . . . is crooked.
Almost as amazing as Stan Musial’s career hit totals . . . 3,630 total . . . 1,815 at home and 1,815 on the road.
Fucking strange, man.

We tried to warn you, Blues fans
Prepare to face your doom. 2003 was a walk in the park compared to the destruction about to befall you.
Not only is our current Canucks team better than the one in 2003, but the Blues’ current team is worse than it was in 2003. They couldn’t even beat Cloutier in a 7-game series
heheh

"Is that a happy tissue or a sad tissue?"
I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.
Hey, I noticed everything there has to be translated to french.
goodluck with that.
Whatever it takes?
We already faced it...every time we had to see Keenan coaching against our team.
Now, everything else is cake. Ahhh! Start the G-damn playoffs already!

hehehe!
Didn’t that guy marry his cousin?
Figures that a bunch of classless Missouri people would idolize the words of Billy Bob Thornton!
If his cousin was Angelina Jolie..
In which case, I would marry mine if she looked like that.
(But no, they weren’t cousins)
And hey, The guy is an award winning actor and screenwrite.. I guess they didn’t translate that stuff to french for you guys..
Whatever it takes?

D'oh...wanted to continue that post
Won 6-4 on Jan 9 (second game of a 2 game win streak)
Lost 6-4 on Feb 10 (first game of a 2 game losing streak)
Lost 3-0 on Mar 19 (second game of a 2 game losing streak)
Won 4-2 on Mar 26 (third game of a 5 game winning streak)
All four games were played after the new year.
Schedule Prediction
I just posted on what I though the schedule would be;
Game one: Thursday night
Game two: Saturday night
Based on GM Place availability and what the networks want.
Canucks win in 6.

How ecstatic is the rest of the Western Conference?
Arguably the two hottest teams in the NHL are playing each other and one will be eliminated. LETS GO BLUES

9-1-1

Interesting sidenote: For the past month to month-and-half I have refused to watch games in my Blues hoodie. There was a trend developing with hoodie-wearing and Blues losses, so I took it out of the equation and look what happened! Having reached the playoffs, I figured the hex was off and the superstition was no longer necessary…and the Blues still won! So I no longer need a self-imposed gamesay ban on certain clothing.
Quick poll: For the playoffs — dye my beer blue, or not, or wait until the (here’s hoping) finals?

Predicted Schedule for Series
My bet is that game one will be on Thursday night, while game 2 will be on Saturday-based on other events at GM Place and what the networks would desire.
It’s going to be a great series, even though I was hoping to play Columbus, as a Canucks fan. These are two of the hottest teams since February (for the Canucks) and since the new year (for the Blues).
Canucks win series in 6.

German is not an official language in Canada
Nah, you’re stuck with frog-speak…
The only time Frenchie ever got all up in Germany’s face, it took the first Anti-Christ to do it, and it was still Germans (Prussians, specifically) who made the difference in kicking Napoleon’s pasty-white ass at Waterloo.

Schedule's out.
This is from a tweet I got from KMOX:
Wednesday and Friday, 9pm in Vancouver.
Sunday at 6, Tuesday at 7 in St. Louis.
Friday at 9 in Vancouver (if necessary). Sun at 7 in St Louis (if necessary). Tuesday 9 in Vancouver (if necessary). All times Central time zone.
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've got to start tweeting
But it’ll just keep me on this computer even longer.
Thanks for the heads up.
Just the opposite of what was posted above as a possibility.
Can’t trust those Nucker fans
Tweeting is actually a lot more useful than people assume it is.
It’s actually where I get about half of my hockey info from.

That didn't take long
