I wasn't going to say anything!!!

I think he's gonna be 42 before he gets the record . If he gets there. He's signed for two more season and will be 39 the start of next season.

He doesn't have Backstrom and there's a lot of age on that team. If they get a playmaker he could do it a lot quicker.

If I didn't know better, Robb, I'd be guessin' you sneaked on to this ride at the halfway point of the track. :?
I'm not sure I get the logic of your point. I just meant that I expect the rest of this season to be something like the last 4-5 games, one decently-played game by The Blues followed by a badly-played one, followed by another decent one, and then another bad one. I'm just going by how they've been playing for Bannister. I remember only too well, how poorly they played for Berube after they gave up caring (giving full effort). I hope Snuggeruud joins the team after his college season finishes.

POINT: The 2023-24 season was clearly a roller coaster ride for the Blues long before "something like the last 4-5 games." To wit: Sept 2023 = W-W-L-L ... October 2023 = L-W-W-L-W-L-W-L-W-L ... November 2023 = L-W-W-L-W-W-W-L-L-W-W-L-W-L-W ... December 2023 = L-W-L-L-L-L-W-W-L-W-W-W-L-L ... I'll leave their January 2024 record for your car to ride & feel nauseous ... :?

THAT was my point - that this whole season will probably be a roller coaster (except the month or 2 after the team gave up on trying hard for Berube).
