I [fork]ing love this team, and the way they playing right now. This is worth a [shirt]ty draft pick. 100%.

It's crazy how they haven't missed a beat without Parayko, too. Good times!

Getting Leddy back healthy and Faulk seemingly finding his game has been monumental.

What is the real expectation for Parayko returning if the Blues make the playoffs?

Love it. Just love how they are hounding the puck. Monty has them skating to the puck everywhere.

And this is a weak draft anyway. Let's build the core...Holloway, Bolduc, Neighbours, etc.

Fun team to watch.

That 2 weeks off for the 4 Nations has been an absolute godsend for this team. There simply is no other way to put it.

It got Binnington his focus back, put Parayko on another level(until his injury), and allowed the coaches to properly install Monty's system.

The Blues are playing exactly like they did in 2022 when he was an advisor.

Not to be lost in all of this but Holloway has essentially been a ppg player since Monty took over. Schenn has been an absolute beast, and Kyrou has played a far better all around game. I can't remember the last game the Blues were outshot in fact, it's been a while.

If they can get better on the PK, I like this team, and they will absolutely be a playoff team next season.

That is the difference. Instead of sitting on my hand, I am often at the edge of my seat when we shoot. The passes are shorter and crisper.

It’s very entertaining and that’s why I watch every game

oh and don't look now, but we are only 6 points behind Minny for the 1st WC.

I don't think we get there, but they have fallen off a cliff and aren't course correcting.

Let's not forget Broberg. He is worth every penny Doug spent for him.

Agree with everything you said Jack. Especially giving time for Monty to get his players all on the same page for him. You can see it. They all know where each other is on almost every play. The pursuit is just awesome. And just like that, the Blues look like the fastest team out there.

I can’t believe Holloway’s progression this year. Somehow Joseph is paid more than Holloway(I know, free agent vs rfa). If either Snuggerud or Dvorsky(less likely) can come up and contribute this season, it could really help the skill aspect of line 3.

Also don't look now, but we are the only team in the Western Conference outside of the top 6 that doesn't have a negative goal differential.

Definitely look forward to watching the games again, which is great. Bolduc and Holloway are a ton of fun to watch right now especially

This team has developed an attitude…..a confident, cocky attitude. That attitude is reflected in their play. Very fun team to watch now.
