Blues standing points by season: 2014: 111 2015: 109 2016: 106 2017: 99 2018: 94 I'd say they are moving backwards by finishing with a worse record every year for the past five years. The Blues are still a good team, but they seem further from winning a Cup than they did in 2014. In 2013-14, they had five 20-goal scorers, a terrifingly deep defense full of scoring threats and of their top 10 scorers, only one was even 30 years old. Both goalies were 28, too. Last year, they were down to 3 20-goal scorers and f of their top 10 scorers were 30+. The defense is no longer as deep, though Pietrangelo is really good. Their backup goalie is 32 and their nominal starter had a terrible year with a Save percentage of 906, below the league average of 908. They could win the Cup, but it would be a pretty big upset, especially with Nashville and Winnipeg out there, and the upgrades made in San Jose, not to mention Vegas.

Well, considering they were in dead last on January 1st, and made the biggest reversal in NHL history by digging up a goalie no one had ever heard of... I don't feel the last bit bad about that.

The Blues were in dead f'n last. And then a miracle happened. Miracles are awesome and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The Blues winning the Cup was a huge upset, and it was due to them finding a player who wasn't even on their roster in the beginning of the year.
