Let's Go Blues

If they use kids in the lineup next year, they will take a step back instead of forward. Don't think they will do that. The kids will have to earn their way into the lineup one at a time over a few years. I now expect them to re-sign these vets or go get others. This ownership is into winning, not o...

For the people who KNOW the Blues won't make the playoffs this year -

what other unknowable things do you know?

thanks

If there was no talent in the system I think you'd have a stronger argument for tanking this season and getting picks. The Blues have young players on the way, although of course they always need more. Since the trade deadline is so early, it seems inevitable that they will have to hang on to their ...

The franchise needs to win games now and put fans back in the building.

Losing in order to get a better draft pick is not what professional sports are all about.

you guys act like this is the first time anyone's actually looked @ the numbers to figure out what it would take to make the playoffs. I did this almost a month ago and everyone ignored it. It's virtually impossible for this team to make the playoffs. They simply don't have the ability to pick up t...

Here's my gameplan:

1) Beat LA Saturday
2) Split the four game West Coast trip
3) Win 10 of the next 15 games (11 home, 4 road games)
4) In the last 19 games of the season, go 13-6. I think that gets 89 points for the season
5) Hope that's enough to make the playoffs.

The Blues keep closing the gap on the last playoff spot. Upcoming schedule has one big problem and then a great opportunity. After the Saturday home game vs. LA, they head west for four games. Could lose all of them. A 2-2 trip would be great. Yeah, this west coast trip is pretty important. A coupl...

What you also have to take into account is that the lack of attendence will most likely determine what they do. Without the revenues early in the season they will make every effort to generate revenues at the most profitable point the playoffs. Getting to the playoffs financially will strengthen th...

Best record in the NHL over the past 10 games - St. Louis Blues

I've changed my mind on trading players. Doubt the Blues will get into the playoff race although they are playing much better. Of the five vets, I would trade Legace, Brewer and Rucinsky and try to re-sign Guerin and Tkachuk. EJ can replace Brewer. Sejna or Birner can replace Rucinksy. Time to go wi...

Right now, the team is still 15th in the Western Conference. What you do, is not focus on playoffs or win percentage, but rather the team above you. Phoenix is in 14th place, only one point ahead of the Blues with 28 points this moment. You focus on getting ahead of Phoenix, and then going after L....

Little heavy on the Kool Aid boys. Playoffs? Doesn't really matter (to me) at this point. I want to see a team that acts like a team. I want to see a team that gets me excited, consistently excited, for the future. The past few games have shown a glimmer of that excitement, and that's fun. On the o...

The Blues are 10-19 now.

Looking at the schedule, 19-10 in the future is possible.

That gets back to .500. That could happen.
