The Blues are starting to look like contenders.

Whew I was worried you hadn’t seen this thread. I feel better now.

You just jinxed it. Now the Leafs will blow them out.

Literally every year.

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

That’s a nice collection of young players you mention. They probably go as far as ALLEN carries them in the playoffs. They will be For You Blue.

Literally every year.

They lose in the first round every year, except for the last 2 years.

I will also add that their goaltending held them back the last few years but it seems like Allen has found another level starting with last years playoffs. He looks like he has figured it out.

I wish our posters would stop making threads on the main boards.

 

[Dbrownss]

Oh hey, you want to talk about the Blues? You know there's a subforum dedicated to that, right? Keep it there, because as your fellow Blues fans said, this NEVER goes well. Its been 1 month and the Blues don't look like a dumpster fire, Yay. This isn't some amazing achievement.




Also after Toronto clown pounds the Blues tomorrow and there is a thread about it.........i wonder who we can thank

 

[thedustman]

the blues might be tenders. PRE-tenders.

if they were serious tenders, i'd have to find another team to root for. I'ma go get some chicken tenders, come one, come all.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Nope

 

[Mike Liut]

The Blues are contenders every year, the problem is, they got beat by better teams in the playoffs. The Hawks and Kings were better teams those few years. The Blues have a great team and great young players on the way. They’ll be contenders for many more years. Can I have 1 cup in my lifetime? Just 1? I’m not greedy.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

At the beginning of the season I called for Schwartz and Petriangelo to have a great year and so far so good. If Robbi Fabbri gets going, look out.

I've got something to tell you, and you might want to sit down for this...

Pretty much this.

 

[ColbyChaos]

When did they not look like contenders 2016 should have shed all doubt about them already and I hate them. They had the unfortunate luck of running into peak LA and Chi from 2012-14. Only real year I feel they "choked" was 2015 losing to Minny they didnt even plan on making the playoffs last year from what it seemed with trading Shattenkirk and friends

2015-16 season: Western Conference Finals
2016-2017: 2nd Round of Playoffs

Both times beaten by the team that went to the finals that year. How many teams have been that good over the past two seasons? They're few and far between.

 

[winnipegger]

Need elite center to contend. They got no elite center

 

[sr edler]

I feel like we have this talk every year and they always fail in the playoffs.

Same reason the Wild failed last year, and every other year. Not enough firepower up front.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

So, what were they for the last several years?

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Blues lead the league in score adjusted fenwick for % in close situations. Is that good?

 

[Helistin]

Regural season contenders.

 

[Dbrownss]

No you don't NEED one, it's just really useful in winning the cup. Which would be a championship team.

In the past two years 14 teams have been beaten by a team that went to the finals. Not sure I'd be using that as some sort of barometer for success.
