3-1 would be phenominal.

I think 7-3 in our final 10 gets us in.

Flames still have Dallas, Edmonton, Colorado, Vegas x2, Minnesota, and Kings

When its all said and done, I think 6-4 will get us there but I'd be much more comfortable with 7 more wins.

We'll see. It could still come down to the last game of the season. Even if we somehow don't make it, at least it's been exciting for a change.

I said 11-3 when we had 14 games left with the outside possibility of 10-4 getting it done. On track so far...would be great to go 2-2 in those 4 games, but you can't overlook the others. For instance, Montreal won't be a pushover.

7-3 6-3-1 are the 2 scenarios I see the Blues getting in. Gets you to 94 or 95 points. Utah being the only game on the schedule left that could be billed as must win depending on what Utah does and of course it being the last game of the year and we might need the win regardless of how Utah does to get in. But, if the blues go over .500 and don't get in, They become more of a statistical anomaly than anything else.

95 points has a 97 percent chance of getting you in. It has only happened 2 times that a team with 95 points has failed to get in. 94 you are at 72 percent. 93 has a 50 percent. If Blues get above 93, they should be in. So cut these games up however you want to slice them. They all mean the same thing.

I like how Monty is managing the ice time. At the end of the day, it will be how he manages Binner and Hofer that puts the Blues over the top. He has both of them playing very well and keeping fresh. Meanwhile, the others in the race are running the goalies to the fringe. Lankinen is finally getting a night off - Canucks activated Demko off of IR. Flames running Wolf out there a lot ... Gustafson (Wild) is playing a TON ... Utah is missing Ingram and are running out a tandem that really doesn't cast fear into anyone.

Don't forget that the Blues won yesterday without Leddy, Sundqvist and Buchnevich. Those 3 eat a lot of minutes. Kudos to the guys who stepped in - especially Texier and Kessel - who haven't seen much ice time recently.

We didn't have Parayko either.

Have to love the attitude. Just another day, next man up.

Maybe the video board at Enterprise needs to run the Black Knight sketch from Holy Grail... "Tis but a scratch..."
