Uglier and Uglier

The Blues are now 8 points from the final playoff spot in the West and five points from the worst record in the league. That's right, the Blues are closer to the bottom than the playoffs. I didn't expect that. In another post, I stated that I expected them to finish 2-4 points out of the playoffs. Than means they would have ~90 points for the season. The currently have 56 points and 28 games left. That estimation now appears optimistic.

In rumors today, the Blues will be trading Barrett Jackman, possibly to New York. The last time there was this much movement on a Blues rumor, it was speculated that Forsberg was close to signing. How does that look now.

Nothing much to do now but enjoy the games for the competition and wait for the offseason.

Gentlemen,

I finally got around to checking out the "Future 'Notes" blog again, after a long aabsence, and saw a message from you in one of the threads there.

I'd love to be able to link to your blog from mine, and vice-versa. Drop me a line at:

weidler@stlouisgametime.com

and let's talk about the details.

I like your site here; I hadn;t seen it before, but I'll definitely be checking it out more often.

Let's Go Blues,
