THE playoff story to watch

That's hard to imagine, they have 6 points to make up on Detroit and Calgary. Can't see that personally.

The freakin Blues would be comfortably in the playoffs if they had at least a .500 record at home. I can't believe that they are so much better on the road then at home.

The Blues may have also had a collective 'sophomore jinx', I wouldn't count them out from having a massive bounce back year with the young bucks they have. Tkachuk is off the books I think and definitely Karya's 6 million is off. Plus, if they made Boyes available, they might trade him in the summer and use their young nucleus + perhaps a couple of new, more attractive vets and try to compete a la Phoenix, Colorado etc.

Blues only 4 points back, and they play the Red Wings on Wednesday!!!

Holy Dung, maybe they can do it.

Actually, the Coyotes are 1 point back of the Sharks now for the lead in the Pacific - and three points out of the lead in the West.

Unreal, maybe the Sharks will end up 4th and have to play LA with all their young guns.

Whatever, chicago and vancouver for west finals, my useless prediction

Nevermind, the Blues are 6 back now with the Wings winning tonight. Still, they can do it!

I'd like to point out that the story of the playoffs is probably going to be Phoenix who are now 2 points out of the lead in the Western conference and have won 8 in a row.

Wow. This is crazy. These guys are going into the playoffs hot. Wouldn't it be something if they took first place in the West and then manhandled some chumps.

I think they're better off where they are right now. Much better off against an LA/Colorado/Nashville in the first round.

What's happening in Phoenix is downright amazing.
