The Blues now sit in 10th in the Western Conference and are five points out of a playoff slot. The Blues have looked like a good team because they had great goaltending. They covered up the misplays by the defensemen and the lack of back checking by some forwards. Now the goaltending is mediocre to bad and the Blues are being blown out of games.
The Blues will not make the playoffs. If they pick up their play, they will finish about where they are at now, 10th in the West. If they don't, they will continue to sink in the standings. That is not a wholly bad thing. While it is hard to watch, this is still a rebuilding year (hopefully the last). The Blues need to clear out some plumbers (as someone else on this blog likes to say) for more talent before they think about making a run at and in the playoffs.
