The St. Louis Blues ended their disappointing 2017-18 season by narrowly missing the playoffs for the first time since the 2010-11 season. Missing out on an opportunity to lift the Stanley Cup for the first time in franchise history stings. There’s no trying to hide that the season wasn’t depressing. But, more realistically, maybe it’s not so bad that the Blues are on the outside this year.
If you’ve watched any of the NHL playoffs this year, you’ve seen some really good teams and some incredible talent. The Blues aren’t on the same level as any of the teams still competing for the Cup.
