As a follow up to the prediction thread, vote for your prediction of the team's success.
Well if the NHL and NHLPA can come to an agreement, I don't see why the Blues can't, you know win that one thing.
They should make The Western Conference Finals. It's tough to call -they could win it, or lose to any of 3 other teams (of similar strength). As only one can win, the odds of them winning it are less than half, so I went with the odds, and predict they'll lose in 6 or 7. I hope I'm wrong, and they win The Stanley Cup. But I think that happens NEXT season.
Our fanbase here is too cautious for being our own boards. Stanley cup champs, baby!
If anything, this year will be more special of a cup due to the extremely compressed schedule. Sure, you're playing only 3/4 of the games, but you're doing so under the time frame of closer to 1/2 of a season. It's going to be a war of attrition starting from game 1.I've been saying for years that 2013 is the year the Blues win it all. We'll see if they prove me right. BTW I take back the crap I said during the lockout about it not being as special if we won it during a shortened season. That's rubbish. Like you guys said, a cup is a cup. I couldn't be more excited for this season. Let's Go Blues!
