This is why Blues fans miss Erik Johnson, he has the ability to change the game. He was a beast in this game and the Blues next season are going to be a threat with Johnson and Pietrangelo running things in the back end. Then with Perron, Boyes, Berlgund, Oshie and possibly Eller next season. Then You have that beast of a goalie Ben Bishop. Then you never know who's coming and going at the trade deadline. Who knows.

I was at that Detroit Red Wings game on New Years Eve. :D

I think because edmonton beat them at eighth seed everyone thinks they can beat them now but the truth of the matter is edmonton had the best defenseman in the world that year and a hot goalie. Even if manny was hot going in he's 5'8 and doesn't know how to handle pressure. So I think what I'm trying to say is you bettter hope you get better than 8th

[RandallRitchey]

Manny is 5'10.

red wings better hope we get better than the 8th seed

Who was in goal that year when they choked against the oilers? What is the wing's record against a 8th since the intra-conference playoffs format came in?

Answers: 1- Manny Legace 2- 21-15 (4-2). Therefore, Manny should be ready if the blues are 8th after April 6th.
