Well since I've been sucking as of late on posting, you can scroll down 2 or 3 posts, and see what I predicted with 10 games left in the season or just click here.
I'm actually pretty happy with myself, because my NCAA Hockey Tourney prediction was really really brutal!! To be able and bounce back with these predictions is gratifying, as I only watched a handful of NCAA hockey games this year, and probably watched over 200 NHL games this year.. It's been a great year for me..
Here's what I predicted for the Blues with 10 games left: (if red= wrong, blue means true!)
vs Los Angeles: 2 points (Osh's hit on the Capt. towards the end of the game was great)
vs. Vancouver: 2 point (Osh's goal against Roberto is getting voted as goal of year on nhl.com)
vs. CBJ: 2 points (Did you see that hit on Nash? Ohh my)
AT CBJ: Win (I predicted Loss, and Nash also predicted he'd lay out Osh from last nights excursion, turns out we were both wrong, as the Blues beat the Jackets, and Osh laid Nash out again)
AT Chicago: 0 point(I'm not happy to predict losses but no way do the Blues go 5-0-1 against their heated rival this year, the Hawks needed the win so they could help destroy Anaheim, and Nashville and help the Blues, see it all happens for a reason!)
AT Detroit: 1 points (I didn't think Backes would score 5 goals in a game, we all know it's 5 not 4.)
AT Dallas: 2 points (Really, the Blues dominated, and should've had 2 points, but lost in OT, Modano's still got talent left in the tank.) (I've give myself half a point)
AT Phoenix: 2 points (Blues put an exclamation point on that win)
April 10 vs. Columbus: 2 points
April 12 AT Colorado: 2 points
So far, I've got 5.5 out of 8 right, and I'm thinking I might go 7.5 for 10... Not bad.. The best part about it though is that I predicted the standings to be this:
1. San Jose
2. Detroit
3. Calgary
4. Chicago
5. Vancouver
6. Columbus
7. Edmonton
8. St Louis
(I'm off on Edmonton, as Anaheim's in their spot but still 9 out 10 not bad...)
With the current standings looking like this:

I'd really like to see Columbus lose to the Blues, and Wild. While the Blues beat Colorado, leaving the Jackets and Blues tied at 92 points! Then if Anaheim wins out too, it's a 3 way tie, boosting the Blues since they've got the best head to head record against the 3, boosts the BLUES INTO 6th place!!!!!
Who would've thought that the team who before the season when they had all their players healthy were picked to FINISH LAST IN THE CONFERENCE, and 30th in the LEAGUE by the "experts". For them then to lose their #1 and #2 defensemen for the year, then they lose their #1, #2, and #3 forwards for over 30 games.. It's a testament to the coaching staff, and the whole team. I do believe the Blues (or as I like to call them the Red Cross) have the 2nd most man games lost to injury in the entire league.
The Blues are in control of their destiny to make the playoffs, and if they do, it's mission accomplished 1 year ahead of schedule.. I hate to even think about what this team's going to be like next year, and in 3 years. As every reporter or person who has watched this Blues team will tell you the Blues are being led by 22 year old Oshie (rookie), 25 year old Backes (3rd year), 20 year old Perron(2nd year), 20 yr old Berglund (rookie), but also they've had some great goaltending coming for Chris Mason.
I guess I'd like to see the Blues square off in the playoffs against either San Jose, or Calgary in the 1st round. Both teams they match up well against.
Therefore, sorry Nashville, and Minny, those teams miss the playoffs this year..
That's all for now I need to get back to work..
