Man, what a bummer. His injury has put a damper on this entire season. Hopefully he can just continue to heal up and be in good shape for next year.

Great. Finally they show a Blues game on TV, once they've been eliminated from the playoffs. Perfect.

For all the crap with digital ads and blackout issues, etc... I've loved their switch to espn+ (and personal get it "free" through a cell plan). And bonus, you would be blacked out from the Yotes!

Looking forward to the NHL playoffs, I never watch many regular season games.
[Reply]

I'm the same. I love hockey if I can watch it in person. So much goes on the camera doesn't see but the cup changes it. Well that and there isn't much other left to watch since Caitlin Clark is done for the season.

First time in 14 seasons the Blues miss the NHL playoffs.

Why is the NHL not starting its playoffs this weekend? Bizarre choice by whoever made it, whether it was the league or TV executives.
[Reply]

Yeah, Blues fans have been really lucky in that respect. They rarely miss the playoffs. probably just a handful of seasons in the 38 years I've been watching them. They'll be back next season.

They missed in 2017-2018 in which they lost a win-or-go home with the Avalanche in Denver in Game 82 to the end season.

Nice start.

The fickleness of hockey.. dominate a game for a while and it's 3-3. :-)

MacKinnon hat trick to take the lead with under 2:00. Fuck yeah.

Felt like playoff hockey last night... I hadn't really been into games lately, but that got me in the playoff mood.

Granted, will be recording a lot of games with the 10pm start times for the Avalanche and Oilers series. :-)

I understand that they want to maximize the number of games they can snow, but it's frustrating that the Avs are pretty much always in late series in the first round. Even in MT it's a bit rough.
[Reply]

Yeah, the quirkiness of the NHL... start the playoffs on a Monday night, but put McDavid and MacKinnon in 10pm EDT time slots.

AZ is pretty perfect this time of year being in Pacific time, with 4/4:30 and 7/7:30 double headers... but will cope with early morning replays this postseason.
