Blues 2 Red Wings 1 (OT)

Ho hum. Another game, another win.

Wait a sec! This is the Blues we are talking about! My God! If anyone still followed the NHL this would be big news!

Even bigger news is that it actually pays to do a little scoreboard watching. Last night was a pretty good night for the Blues in other North American cities. Both the Avalanche and the Oilers, both just above the Blues in the standings, lost last night leaving the Blues 4 points out of ninth. It would have been a perfect night but the Wild beat Calgary in OT as well, keeping the Blues 8 points out of the last playoff spot.

All that stuff is nice, but it don't mean a thing if the Blues don't continue to pick up points. Tonight Nashville come into town again. They have had the Blues number this season, so this might say more about the Blues resurgence than any other game to date. Hopefully, the offense will get going tonight. They might have won their last two games, but the Blues only scored 3 goals doing it.
