The Blues are starting to look like contenders.

[HolyJumpin]

Even though the Blues lost to the world's most boring roster ever assembled last night, they looked like the superior team the entire night. The Blues have looked great beating everyone worth a damn in their conference so far and the only team to worry about that they've lost to was Tampa by a score of 2-1. Jake Allen looks like a legitimate starter.

Can we talk about them please? They could go pretty far this year. Once they've got their 3rd line situation solved, this is a great team that will only improve next year. Jordan Kyrou, Klim Kostin, Robert Thomas, and Tage Thompson are all players that could be impact players next year.

also they're gonna beat Toronto tomorrow

People have said they could go pretty far pretty much every year.

They just don't.

They remind me of the Caps in the East.

Nothing left to prove in the regular season.

They look excellent this year.

They are going to destroy my Leafs tomorrow, that's for sure.

Sadly true.. They did look really good against my Kings, but I'll believe them when they make it to the finals.

takes some special kind of hubris to make this thread before the 1st round of the playoffs

Nice veiled shot at the Flyers... not really sure what you meant by that, but I like the taste of salty tears.

The Blues need to prove it in the playoffs - I couldn't care less about how they look in the regular season anymore.

Bigger hubris than all the Canadian teams talking about contending that have barely sniffed the playoffs?

And the Blues have been just about as good as any other team in the Playoffs, the only teams that have beat them the last two years have gone to the Finals.

Great, now make the Finals.

Great, now make the Finals.

Different team, different year.

Different team, different year.

You should be pleased that everyone takes your team for granted as a competitive team that could make noise in the playoffs.

 

[Evincar]

I figured they would be a playoff team once again but not this good. Theyve had some bad injury luck too.

The Blues just need an inkling more skill and creativity.
Someone like a Vadim Shipachyov on their third line would put them over the top. They can shelter him and the Blues have plenty of Russian-speakers.

Ship

To LAS VEGAS:

Thanks for this thread, I now know that I can skip the next three games that are for sure going to be a losing streak thanks to this Jinx thread.

We can not afford Ship without a contract going back

I don't think our teams are in the same tier, if that's what you are saying.

 

[TheAngryHank]

How would the Blues know what a contender looks like?

 

[HollaHaula]

Yeo is their coach. I'm eager to see how this team is doing in January and February.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Blues are killing it in the regular season....just like they always do.

We’ve seen this before. We have to prove it in the postseason or it won’t matter

Whoah! Slow down there Panger, lets talk later in the season, the Blues are really good at disappointing fans.

Thanks for this thread, I now know that I can skip the next three games that are for sure going to be a losing streak thanks to this Jinx thread.

You said it, I guess I have free time during those games now.

They eliminate us in the playoffs most years.

 

[Reality Check]

Have heard this for nearly 30 years about the Blues..

 

[ManyIdeas]

The Blues just need an inkling more skill and creativity.

A good, small extremely skilled winger like Fabbri should be able to help them out...`
