We all know the joke by now: the Blues don’t play well against non-playoff teams, so thank God there aren’t any of those in the playoffs, right?
Well, the Blues frittering away (or stealing, more appropriately) a point last night against the very decidedly non-playoff Chicago Blackhawks means that the Blues aren’t in the middle of a three way tie for the top of the Central. Instead, they’re a point out of first and really need the Jets and Predators to stumble in their last two games.
To be painfully honest, as flabbergastingly awesome as winning the Central would be, second place is where it’s at.
