Blues streak looks bleak

"Me personally, I could care less about the streak," Chris Pronger said. "I want to make the playoffs to win the Stanley Cup, not to keep a streak going."

When will people realize the correct saying is..........."I couldn't care less"?

There is a huge fucking difference

No shit. I could care less about this place. I couldn't care less about Jack Sparrow.

I always used to say "could care less" until I thought about it and realized what Jack says is right. It is an idiom, I guess, doesn't really mean what it says.

Back on topic, I think the Blues are likely to keep the streak going. LA is finally faltering, and I don't think they're going to make the playoffs.

I just view it as sarcasm.

Actually, I agree with Pronger: I couldn't care less if the streak continued....it's a measuring stick for mediocrity to me....

Or you could say LA has had a bad stretch and is still only 2 pts behind, and figure they will start winning again.

Blues will likely make it, and if they get eight, maybe this will be the year they finally beat Det.

Blues will miss the playoffs. Boo fucking hoo. I'd rather see them miss the playoffs and fire Pleau than have them make it, lose in the first round again, and they say, "Great job guys, you fought hard and made the playoffs and kept the streak alive, and got us some playoff revenue too." <_<

There are now 10 teams competing for eight spots though so two will miss, as the Oilers have roared back into the race and were in eighth place coming into today.

Pronger is right. The streak is worthless. The Cup is all that should matter.

I agree with you. That is exactly why I have been rooting for the Blues to lose lately for the first time in my life--in my mind, them losing now is the only hope for them possibly winning something in the future.

It's representative of history of this franchise that a melancholy 'claim to fame' is something as lame as this............one of the best 16 teams in the league standings.

I couldn't care less.
