St. Louis Blues

After what seemed to be a promising start, the St. Louis Blues have almost flat-lined. They are so frustrating to watch. I have never seen a team have so much difficulty controlling the puck. In last night's game they couldn't get the puck in their own zone on the Power Play. Four times in a row they had it taken from them before they entered the zone. They're simply terrible. And once they get the puck into the zone they can't hang on to it. The Bruins were in town last night and walked away with a 6-3 win. It's obvious that goaltending is an issue. Our starter, Lagace, gave up 5 goals in two periods. Another frustrating piece of it is their injuries. Three of their top players have been injured for nearly two months. They no longer have a true Center which is why they cannot ever control the puck. We just flat out suck.

Back in 2004 SportsCenter celebrated thier 25 aniversary and asked a trivia question of which professional team was the only team in all of major sports to make the playoffs in every year of SportsCenter's existence (1979-2004 at the time). The answer was the St. Louis Blues. I'm not sure if they have made the playoffs since. It's ugly right now in St. Louis.
