Yep, one of the worst and quickest collapses I can ever remember in the NHL.
This team will be REALLY lucky not to get swept in the 1st round of the playoffs.

Here's the deal about the Blues.
They suck.
They've always sucked.
They are the Chicago Cubs of the NHL.
I've always enjoyed watching the Busch Light drinking hoosiers around the county get their yearly hard on for the Blues.
Only to be teased and disappointed year after year.
They should be renamed the St. Louis Blue Balls.

The Blues were destined to burn out, and truthfully they're not that great. Their win total is inflated because they outwork teams for most of the regular season, but when it comes down to it, their roster isn't as good as their win total.
They're demanded to bring a playoff effort for 82 games, which isn't the standard across the league. There is more of a 'marathon' mentality with other teams.
Hitch doesn't roll like that, though. He wants the pedal to the metal all year, and that will burn any team out. Plus the Blues had so many guys go the the olympics, that's big.
Guys like Steen are two way, second line players. Steen is a great penalty killer, a good guy to have on the second power play unit. A guy that can play both ends of the ice, do a lot of things, but he's not a major point getter. What he did at the beginning of the year was a flash in the pan. Oshie is the same way, he's a second or even third line NHLer on a great team. He's a two way player, he's not a gifted skill player.
The Blues have lied to their fans for too long, and it's really starting to hurt morale.
There is a huge major gigantic misconception about many Blues players. The Davidson years were full of fluff and sugar coated marketing campaigns. Guys that are good hockey players but not elite skilled players have been inaccurately marketed to Blues fans. Panger was pumping Oshie after the olympics, telling Blues fans that he's got some of the most skill in the world, hogwash. That's absolute nonsense. These lies are now coming home to roost.
Not to mention the Blues have drafted so pathetically that a new word needs to be created to accurately describe how absolutely fricking god awful and embarrassingly bad they've drafted over the last decade, its even fair to say decades. It's got to be one of the worst drafting franchises in major sports.

Winning a game like that is a big boost.
All of a sudden they're a team that looks like they can make a run.
