I am, too. He's skating like a smooth rocket, and has made a few hard, and accurate blasts from the point, made some great passes, and he's even playing a physical game at choice times. He's looking like he can stick (finally - after all these years of expecting that and being disappointed). And it couldn't have come at a better time for The Blues.

There is no run coming from this team...maybe in a couple of years.

Yup, this isn't the year.
-Middle of the pack scoring, which is actually fine for this club historically, but not when...
-D is injured and getting knocked around every night
-Goaltending is bad

All of this happening while they've played an easier schedule so far and are looking at murderers row to finish the season. In the offseason I think we see some moves to rebuild the backend. We've seen clearly now that Petro+Paryako+bad Faulk is far superior to Krug+Good Faulk+Zombie Parayko. They need a more stout back end. Hopefully that helps return Binnington to form, because he's having a rough year, and hasn't looked great since maybe the end of December 2019. There are two things that can help this team return to form without any major roster changes: A truly healthy Parayko, and a return to form, or close to it, for Binnington. As currently constructed, this is a bubble team without either of those things, a not dangerous playoff team with 1 of those things, and a contender with both. Going to be an interesting offseason.

Yeah, I'm banking on Army reconstructing the team. 4 UFA's, cap space will open up for him to maneuver. I wonder if he will reconstruct the defense. I'm thinking that has to be a top priority or at least among them. Finding another Bouwmeester won't be easy.
