Tom Powers: Wild-Blues battle now feels like playoffs

ST. LOUIS -- Ice packs all around!

Now we're cooking. Now it feels like the playoffs. Just ask Devan Dubnyk, who already has had enough of the Blues' Steve Ott. Dubnyk gave Ott a couple of rapid fire whacks with his big goalie stick in the second period. Nailed him right in the back of the legs.

"I'm sure the whole building heard him scream," Dubnyk said.

Left unsaid: Like a little whiner.

"He was just trying to let everybody know that it hurt him," Dubnyk added. "That's his job. He knows what he's doing when he's out there.
