They've never won a cup without Sanford scoring at least 1 goal in game 7 of the finals.

Fact.

Bigger Fact: The Blues have never won the Cup without Hullie falling down drunk. Quick, somebody help him up!

Injuries are a bitch...when we get healthy we are gonna be fine . BOOK IT!

Assuming the big boys heal up, I think there's a pretty good chance. There have actually been a lot of things that have gone extremely well this season. Kyrou looks great. Faulk is playing like he did in the bubble. Binnington is NOT playing like he did in the bubble. Almost all of the disappointment has been injury related this season. Sure, Husso has been bad, but not many expected him to play much this year anyway. Tread water. Heal up. Get back to business.

Points percentage wise, the team is currently 5th. I love Timmy’s attitude and I hate to see a stellar season by Faulk wasted, but this team better start getting healthy soon. Running the table and trying to make up ground by playing constant back to back matchups with the same team is NOT going to be easy.

Yeah I'm surely not happy with the current predicament but once they start getting healthy I'm sure the ship will get righted. Things were looking decent overall before the pileup of bodies.

8 game series against Minnesota in final 12. Looks like there’s 4 against Colorado prior to that. Blues better be in good shape heading into that stretch run.

It makes sense for us to root for Vegas and Avs to win every night so that they beat up on the teams the Blues will be fighting with for the last 2 spots.

That's a great point about the end of season schedule, Bill. Minnesota is unrecognizable this year. Kaprisov has been everything they'd hoped for and more. They're actually fun to watch, and are getting saves again now that Dubnyk is out of there.
