Utah will be a very tough game…
They have beaten Dallas, Winnipeg, and Calgary this month. They are playing very good hockey.

They've taken 2 out of three games from us, 4-2, 4-2. We beat them in early February at their place 2-1. We hadn't even started the streak yet. But yes, Keller and Schmaltz have our number. I'm hoping our desperation, playing at home, and them wanting to get the season over and hit the golf course and beach is enough. We have more talent. We should win.

Re: Utah will be a very tough game…
I hope that is a factor. I have not studied their schedule. And as another poster mentioned above, AZ/Utah has been a real thorn for us the past few years!steve li wrote: ↑13 Apr 2025 07:50 amPlus it'll be their third game in four nights, having played last night.Wattage wrote: ↑13 Apr 2025 02:40 amUtah will be in 2nd game of back to back when they face us.

Re: Utah will be a very tough game…
It is their 3rd game in four nights but the Blues still need to score. These teams like Utah and Seattle have some meaning to their last few games as they get to play spoiler. Stress free hockey and compete for their jobs next year.
I think thats why the Blues are playing how they did the last few games. too much focus on looking for the sure goal while trying not to make a mistake.

How about SJ just wins in regulation tonight and then UTAH can beat us 10-0 on Tuesday.

Re: Utah will be a very tough game…
Okay, I'm with you. I'll take a San Jose win tonight. However, San Jose is on an eight game losing streak. They are either due for a win, or they can't wait for the season to end and take another loss.TruBlueFan_1970 wrote: ↑13 Apr 2025 10:26 am How about SJ just wins in regulation tonight and then UTAH can beat us 10-0 on Tuesday.

They have their fate in their own hands with a home game. Can't really ask for much more.

They might be on the losing streak but it hasn't been for a lack of effort.hockey jedi wrote: ↑13 Apr 2025 10:40 amOkay, I'm with you. I'll take a San Jose win tonight.

They've been in a lot of those games until the 3rd period when their lack of talent becomes evident.
So let's hope they are just due.

Agreed. The team knows what is at stake. If they can't get a win when it matters most, then they don't deserve the playoffs.succinct712 wrote: ↑13 Apr 2025 11:11 am They have their fate in their own hands with a home game. Can't really ask for much more.
