We were hoping not to have to care about this tournament, but another early playoff exit means we get to pay attention to at least one Blue, perhaps some future Blues and an old pal that might come back next season.
Hockey's NIT, the 2015 IIHF World Championships, take place May 1st thru 17th in Prague and Ostrava, Czech Republic.
Now, we were HOPING at the beginning of the playoffs that we wouldn't give a shit about this rigmarole, that #OurBlues would not shit the bed in the first round. Alas, here I am, writing a preview including not just some old friends of ours, but one very important piece to the Blues' present and future as well as a piece of intrigue that could have an effect on next year's roster.
