The BLues will be all-right.

There is no way that Chris Pronger and Doug Weight suddenly became less talented players. The play of these two guys is seriously impacting the over-all success of the team. It would be silly to think that players of their skill level will not come out of it.

This team is playing poooorly now. BUt they actually played worse hockey going down the stretch last year.

Now they are in a position of playing desperate hockey in the last three months of the season. And if they don't respond then this team might miss the playoffs for the first time in almost 30 years.

I think Pronger needs to learn a new move now in front of the net - since he's being called for his hacking now (it's about time!).

I dont see how theres anyway that a team like the Blues will miss the playoffs. But then again, Ive been saying that a few years now with the Rangers.

I don't think the Blues will miss the playoffs.

THis team is just performing like a broken toy right now.

They made a huge goaltending mistake this offseason, and they're gonna pay for it for a while. It's the old one step forward, two steps back.

Actually the Blues are on a 10 game winning streak right now and got things clicking again.

Can't wait to face them tomorrow to break that streak :)

Damn - Chicago beat us to it and ended the St. Louis Blues winning streak.

It will still be a great Central Division matchup tonight :)

Sure hope you didn't put any money on the Blues. Detroit outplayed St. Louis on Brett Hull talent and the talent our of rookie star Pavel Datsyuk.

Final: 5-2

(**This is the first time St. Louis' stingy defense has given up 5 goals all season**)

Nope, no money was wagered on that game. I was going to, until Chicago broke the streak.

Detroit looked really good, but what else is new?
