Dear Suckers, tis the Season for the Blues to spoil their draft position

Post by a smell of green grass »

Anybody see a winning trend over the last 5 years? See STATS below

The Blues win barely over 500--until March and April. Then they WIN because most teams realize that the season is over, and the opposition plays that way.

So enjoy these MEANINGLESS wins Blues fans because it is costing you a lot in 2025 draft position and future wins--AS ALWAYS!

The St. Louis Blues are 17-15-1 in the month of October between March 18, 2020 and March 18, 2025.

You are an

I D I O T

With very little grasp of actual ice hockey.
Barring more injuries, this team will make the playoffs and I give them even odds to win the first round against the first seed.

You don’t truly see that this has been a very, very good team for a month or more and will only get better next year…

It is sad that you cannot see, nor understand the game.


That is why your
I D I O T I C

Mind longs to see them tank and be losers… you seem more comfortable around that type of lifestyle and situation.

You a f#ckin’ FOE’d.

Oh, I thought you were going to break down the stats for each season.

You've discluded Oct-Feb of the 19-20 season and didn't think 18-19 was a good season to include either? Only going to March 18 because that was yesterday, and felt no reason to see what happened the rest of the season? (not that you were actually making a genuine analysis)

"Then they WIN because most teams realize that the season is over, and the opposition plays that way."

So you're saying that most other opponents between Feb-March 18 in the past 5 seasons realized the season was over and tanked? I believe you because I'm sure that you also thoroughly analyzed all of those teams' stats and position in standings as well.

We have the weakest schedule to end the season, whereas last season we did not. We knew this already and figured that we could have a fighting chance at making the playoffs against this weak schedule while other teams have harder schedules.

Feb was actually a tough schedule with almost exclusively playoff teams, and really the post-break rally is what we're concerned with. Army mentioned the 4 games after the break and before the TDL would tell him the direction, and we won 3 of 4 with the SOL against WIN.

Haven't given up 30+ shots on goal in 13+ games and are the hottest (winningest) team outside maybe COL in that span.

As I've already provided far more thorough an analysis than you even tried or considered, I'm going to stop where I'm at and save the time.

Have fun rooting against yourself.

I have already had more fun watching the past few weeks of Blues hockey then I would have had for the 5 minutes at the draft watching the Blues make a pick.

So it's his belief that 4 teams that are all within 4 points or less of the 8th playoff spot have given up on the season and are just phoning it in because they all have a playoff spot secured.

Did I get that right?

The Hawks had the #1 pick.
Didn't they pick the consensus #1?
Didn't he play all this year?
For some strange reason that team isn't making the PO's.
Even with the #1 pick.

well i do agree they are probably playoff bound, but to say they would be able to knock off the jets confidently , is pretty silly.

Ask the folks in hockey-crazy Buffalo how they feel about repetitive tanking strategies.
