Everyone says the Blues have the 3rd easiest schedule but when we play crap teams we play down to their level. Maybe NJ and PIT will pass us up.
Just look at the leadup to the last San Jose loss (which ended a Blues series win streak of eight games, no less)...
2023-11-03 New Jersey 4-1 W
2023-11-04 Montreal 6-3 W
2023-11-07 Winnipeg 2-5 L
2023-11-09 Arizona 2-1 W
2023-11-11 at Colorado 8-2 W
2023-11-14 Tampa Bay 5-0 W
2023-11-16 at San Jose 1-5 L
It's maddening. And we could put together 3-4 presentations exactly like this, if not more. Nashville was dead in the water, we were sailing along in a playoff spot for a month straight, they'd lost 9-2 to Dallas and like eight or nine in a row or something, and we go lay a fat egg. The Columbus loss right before the ASG. It just goes on and on. It's like they're pranking us.
