I'm totally with you to be honest.I'm not looking to get a rise, and I've been here (sporadically) during good streaks as well.
It's that our record on the road pretty much speaks for itself. We simply will not win a playoff series against one of these teams until we can beat them in their building. Not when we can barely manage 50/50 at home versus them anyway.
It doesnt make me happy at all. Quite the opposite. I'm sick and tired of this coaching staff and the stale, predictable, easily shutdown decisions they make. A 13 game point streak? Why should I care, when we've done this season in and season out, with the same pathetic results at the end?
We lost to Chicago today in much the same fashion as we lost to them in the playoffs. Bonehead, stupid mistakes at terrible points in the game. Lily soft defense that gives opposing skaters an incredible amount of leeway before doing anything about them. An offensive gameplan that our coaching staff has no clue on.
If that labels me a troll, fine. I'll take it.
It kind of astonishes me that so many people are okay with these 3-2 and 4-2 losses. To them it shows we are "close", yet they keep happening so really no progress is being made. The top teams are always just a bit better, and that's all you need to win a playoff series - be a bit better than the other team.
People can call me crazy but I've said it before and I'll say it again. I don't care if the Blues lose 5-1 or 2-1 against these teams. The point is they keep finding ways to lose.
I don't think Chicago and LA are invincible but I just can't predict this current Blues team to beat either of them. The proof isn't there, so anyone that thinks they will... Props to you, but that's just blind optimism IMO. There's really no basis to believe that will happen.
