Do NOT underestimate the Blues. Despite the fact that we have beaten them already (both last season *the whole series* and once in 08) these boys are no joke. Led by Keith Tkachuk who will be celebrating his 1000th point before the game, the former Jet/Yote is one tough competitor and has 8 PP goals so far this season. Injuries often allow role players to step into the limelight and shine. Andy Mac and Paul Kariya are both MIA but the Blues are still producing (5-5-2 at home) 4th PP and 7th PK and 5-3-2 in their last 10… An emotional award ceremony, role player over achievements + over confidence against these guys could result in sever burn marks on our asses and egg on our faces.

BUT…St. Louis (10-11-3) will enter the game less than 24 hours after losing to Calgary 4-3 in overtime on home ice. This is should be good news for the visiting Yotes, who roll into StLou fresh off a set of crazy wins. #1 goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov apparently rebooted and high in confidence from his return to net on Thurs against the Leafs. Martin Hanzal and Steven Reinprecht have suddenly discovered the formula for multiple goals and the team has developed a meagre killer instinct. All of these elements will be crucial to getting a sweet 2 points in St. Louie.

Odie and I laughed our butts off last night about a Blue’s Clues GDT… as always our 2 brains are warped and hilarious…especially late at night (and Onyx on drugs) so go check him out, it is a really sweet GDT.

GO YOTES!
