Hate to say it but my answer is NO.

We barely made it last year and it took a record winning streak to do it. Plus it took a tie-breaker vs. Calgary to qualify. That’s not exactly a compelling performance.

I’ll admit that I was optimistic starting this season that we could get into the dance again this year, but I was fooled by last year’s streak and blinded by my 57 years of being a fan.

Frankly, we have the same leftover parts from last year who barely made it, and not enough new parts to tip the scale. It will take more infusion from the youth movement and maybe some trades to get this squad into the postseason.

That’s my $0.02 worth. Remember, you get what you pay for.

No although it will be closer than I think most are thinking right now. All the talk of earning a 5 pick js overdone.

Y

With the bottom feeders being stronger this year, the WC cutoff will be lower like the east of recent years.

Blues are 8 points out of 3rd in Central at nearly the quarter year. Lot's of doom and gloom around here, I get it and agree with a lot of it, but I remain curious on what more of the board is thinking than the vocal 'gloomers.

We all have our reasons BUT....If you can..... a simple yes or no.

Will the Blues make the play offs this year?

For me it remains YES.
No, I just don’t see it happening.

5 Yes
15 No

I'm a bit surprised but thanks for the responses folks.

I will say as a yes....I'm seeing a possible glimpse of late....but more progress is needed.

Yes. Both goalies looked a lot better the past couple of games. If they get back to what they are capable of being, the confidence factor will spread.

No. Too many things going wrong to fix them all for a run.

No way...too many squandered points. They can't keep doing this every year. Although I probably still underestimate Army's ability to screw up our draft position in an endeavor to lose in the 1st round again.

So "No Way" then but Army might get them in the first round.

Great call.

The agenda crowd here are really something and as transparent as daylight.

No

It's clearly a coaching issue that's the problem imo.
