We have seen some catastrophic injuries in the past cost the Blues chances at deep playoff runs and Cup chances. The 2 that come to mind for me are Fuhr and Binner. We have seen a number 1 pick get too sloshed up in the Ozarks and break his leg. Don't know where that career would have gone anyways. But this team is experiencing an all time amount of spread the injury bug around I can remember. Thursday we will most likely play without 5 of your top 6. We have played without 6 of our top 9 multiple times now. We have consistently been without 3-4 of our top 6 for most of the season after the first 15ish games.
Two part question. Do you guys recall a Blues team ever going thru this. Has any other team seen this happen this regularly, not just stacking 2-3 big injuries. But legit counting 4-5 people out of your forward group on any given night.
Is this the Most Injured Blues team of All Time?

Can't remember the year, but one season the Blues used 7 goalies because they just kept getting hurt.

I don't recall the Blues ever being THIS beat up. They finished last night with arguably 5 top-6 players out plus Sunny.

they look the same healthy as they did last night.
their injuries are a negligible explanation for this, to the point that I would say "injuries" is the single biggest dodge of accountability for this one Blues team as I have ever seen a Blues team

Well when key parts of your team are injured for the entire season they don't have any time to form any chemistry. Of course the defense and goaltending have been healthy all year.

That was '02-'03...one guy went down with a spider bit! We had to call Tom Barasso out off the couch!smilinjoefission wrote: ↑28 Jan 2026 10:17 am Can't remember the year, but one season the Blues used 7 goalies because they just kept getting hurt.
In '17-'18 we lost 315 man games, the most in Team history. I have no clue where we are now, but if anyone can find that number, this could be your reference.
