The Blues Excellent “Follow Up” REGULAR Season

Of course, what counts are the upcoming Stanley Cup playoffs, however, “no matter what” kudos go out to the St. Louis Blues for a fine regular season performance, following their underdog run to their first title last season.

St. Louis, is in a battle with the Colorado Avalanche, not only for the Central Division crown but also the NHL Western Conference top seed. Only the Boston Bruins, whom the Blues 7’d in last year’s NHL final, are relatively certain to finish the regular season with more points than the Blues.

Again, the ‘offs are what counts and fine regular season play has meant little as far as determining good playoff performances.

Yet after last year’s title, this is a “house money” season for the Blues and to this point, it has been an excellent one.
