Jason Millen: Blues free falling, look to avoid going down to an Avalanche Blues free falling, look to avoid going down to an Avalanche

Love it

JC what a dumpster fire these avs are

Should be an easy game. Looking at your schedule, you have 7 "gimmes" that you should in no way lose.

Thanks for the great input again, keep it up man, youre work on this site is a natural treasure.

I look forward to your next game of going into the Avs thread and who they are playing to mention this again. What would we do without you

Jammer you are being harsh.

There are some small issues and much of it is puck luck against the Blues.

I think when it is all said and done I think a lot of people will be surprised by this team.

I think it would be more beneficial for the future if we miss this year and go for a higher draft pick personally. I just don't see this team doing anything in the playoffs.

Good teams find a way to get points in games they shouldn't and in close games. Maybe not wins, but points. This team has struggled with this imho.

The team has been wildly inconsistent with big winning and losing streaks, much more so than recent Blues teams. Those things are just data.

I get what you are saying, but I see a lot of parts of this team chipping at the hump. I would love Lehtera to take a seat and Barbashev in his place.

There's a lot of flux but they are a lot better than I think people realize. It has more to do with it coming together.

These last games will surely paint a good picture since they play some crappy teams a lot.

Allen is finally starting to look good.

There are three areas of the ice that once they improved they would be good.

Lehtera's got to go after this season. If you have to bribe Mcphee with future considerations or draft picks to take him, so be it.

This year was always going to be a bit of a retooling year. Poor goaltending and the loss of Fabbri has made us a bubble team.

And it's to over look all the bad bounces at key moments on top of a time period with poor goaltending and terrible stick penalties. It snow balled. And yes good teams find ways to shed the weight and over come that stuff, but with a younger roster it is also inevitable for some inconsistencies to manifest themselves which creates an opportunity for growth and strength.

The questions are how steep is the learning curve and what level of resolve do these players possess?

I'd suggest they have too many players who already learned to win to not shorten it. I don't know if Tarasenko is hurt or it is Lehtera or what is happening there but he needs to be a better player and the equation changes dramatically.
