Robert Thomas returns to the lineup today just in the nick of time. The nick of time for what? For the Blues to maybe finally put forth an effort to grab the last playoff spot in the West Division.
No one wants this damn playoff spot, and can you blame them? Whoever sneaks in at fourth will have to face today’s opponents, the Colorado Avalanche. Since emphatically winning their first matchup way back up in January, the Blues have lost five games in a row to Colorado, most recently on Thursday night.
Bad turnovers, bad decision making, an inability to put forth sustained pressure.
