I don't think you're better than Calgary but STL is still a very good team and will be dangerous in the playoffs. Futures wise, your prospect pool is absolutely awful.

Are there a lot of Blues fans who don’t think you’re good lol?

IMO, speaking as a Wild fan, I think CGY is 2nd best after COL, but then it’s the Blues, followed by Wild, Preds and even Dallas being pretty close.

Its looking reasonably likely that we meet in Rd 1. Which, will be a stressful one.

Honestly I love how we play CGY but I could see that too
They are good

Well we’ve been good for a while so that makes sense
But I think we’ll be fine if we keep our firsts and don’t trade them

Sunny’s good but a 4th line guy
A second of course
Walman who’s been good in sheltered minutes

With rakell Simon and ZAR are good 3rd and 4th line guys
The goalie they gave up I’m super high on so that’s why

oh that makes sense but they were basically identical in value apart from the goalie

I mean, yeah we’re still good. People are totally overreacting to a special teams slump. Obviously have some very real and exploitable flaws, but this is not the team that got swept last year… not even close.

Exactly
We are much better imo everyone is helping and playing there part, except Scandella
Also may have to change the PFP now

Yeah I dont see it either. I think it would be a very close and very rough series. Coin toss for who wins it, depending on who has the better goalie.

I think it’s very unlikely that either team would father the other

I agree I can see us beating any team in the playoffs if our defense plays like it should not like I’d does some nights
They tend return to peewee hockey form from time to time

We still have the deepest front nine in the league. Just makes you wonder if we didn’t go 500 over the past 5/6 weeks if front office would have paid the premium for a chyckrun/lindholm. I still think at our best we can beat anyone but we haven’t shown we can consistently reach those levels as of late.

Kinda cool to see Blues mix and match 4th liners so defense and goalies see different guys each night. I mean you have the personnel to do it with Bozak coming back, Neighbours available, Brown, Torop, Walker, Kostin, Dak, Mac, be funny to see Scandella on the wing. The Blues have done well with the next man up mentality, which could be used in the playoffs too. Find 4-6 guys that are playing hot and switch them out when need be.
