Nobody should be worried about the Blues showing a 60-minute effort. They have already proven they will do that in the playoffs. That has never been a problem, because against both the Blackhawks and Kings the last 2 years, the tempo was cranked up big time and the Blues kept pace. It's just a matter of scoring timely goals when it matters.
Nothing the Blues do for the rest of the regular season will change my opinion about them except for winning that final game they have left in Chicago. Pretty much everything else doesn't matter to me. I just want them to pick up as many points as possible, but don't care how they do it. I've been critical of them against the top dogs, but that doesn't mean they aren't still a good team. And whether they're sloppy or not right now will have zero impact on how they perform in the playoffs. Zero. Just like losing 6 in a row to end last year's season didn't carry over.
