Hockey Post!

By my calculations, if the Blues beat the Avalanche on Sunday then they lock up the 6 seed in the NHL Western Conference Playoffs. The 6 seed, rather than the 8 seed, means playing 3rd seeded Vancouver rather than the best team in the NHL, the San Jose Sharks. The Blues split their season series with both teams, but I have got to believe their preference would be to play the Canucks. Whatever the case, playoff hockey is on its way and I am going to do my best to follow the Blues!

This fella really exceeded expectations today, I think. Awesome. Exciting. Grrrrreat!

I am very thankful the Cardinal bats woke up in the bottom of the 7th. How awful would it have been if the Cards lost that game 1 - 0?

Please also note: The Blues have two games to play and they are tied with Anaheim with a two point lead for 7th/8th in the Western Conference playoff race. Nashville is 2 pts. back and play tonight at Detroit and tomorrow at Minnesota. Speaking of The Wild, they are 3 pts. back and play Nashville on Saturday (I just said that) and at Columbus on Sunday. Feeling good, real good.
