One of the three teams at .500 would be 8th in the West and the Blues are one of those.
Over the course of the season one of STL, Winnipeg, Nashville or Minnesota will join Colorado and Dallas in the top 3. The Blues should be able to be better than Minnepegville over the last 80% of the season. It would be disappointing if they weren't.

Amazing what a 5 game win streak can do. We had 6 total points just over a week ago and it looked like we had a real chance to be facing a double-digit game losing streak. 5 wins in 8 days, we're back to true .500 and are right back on that playoff bubble.
This season has been a roller coaster and I hope it doesn't continue like that for the next 66 games. I've gone through too large a range of emotions/opinions over a team that is sitting at .500 at the 16 game mark.

Binnington is .905 at the moment but so is the average save percentage in the NHL. The common refrain about how Binnington has "gotten worse every single year" is never coupled with a mention that the NHL average save percentage has also gotten worse over the same period. I wonder why that's omitted.
These are average NHL regular season save percentages (with Binnington in parentheses):
18-19: .910 (.927)
19-20: .910 (.912)
20-21: .908 (.910)
21-22: .907 (.901)
22-23: .905 (.905)
Binnington also put up those numbers with heavy usage and is playoff ace caliber.

Yes, but what about Chuckie sideburns.
Most popular player on an NHL team for fans…. The back up goalie.

7 games into this stretch and sitting at 5-2-0, 6 points in the next 6 games needed to get back to the 96 point pace.

We have had decent contributions from Leivo, Pitlick, Rosen, Greiss. Who would have expected it?
If Leivo can stick with it, and be a contributor at 29 years of age, maybe Mikkola can get better too.
Mikkola has been better than Leivo, and I was the only one defending Leivo when he was sent down. Mikkola is +5, good for 2nd on the team in +/-. He, Barbashev, and Acciari are the only players with more than 10 games who are positive (Barby is also a +5 and Acciari is +1).
He played in the top 4 on his off-side in the 2 games Parayko has been out and is a +3 in those games. He saved a goal in the Avalanche game blocking a shot with a wide open net.
What do you want out of a $1.8M Dman? Because if you want a 5th round pick making $1.8M to play on his off-side in the top 4, not let any goals in, be amazing in transition and put up a half a point a game, you are going to be severely disappointed 999 times out of a thousand.

You mean win all 6 for 12 points I think.
If they go 7-2-1 over the next 10 games they'll be back on pace too.

It’s never made sense. People just hate him and fit the narrative to match
But he threw a water bottle, how can you defend such a f***ing monster?
not really. we have about 12.8mm in cap space with 10 spots open. RT and JK extensions take pretty much all the space of ROR and Tank leaving.

I saw Kevin Sattenkirk's name on a list of Anaheim scratches from Saturday's game.
I had forgotten he was still in the league.

He is better at some things than Bortuzzo or Mikkola.

In 3 years, will this group of forwards be enough to compete?

We better hope 2 of those bottom 4 on this list develop into really good players, top 6 caliber.
Also, I hope we still have Toro and re-sign Barbs and Buch. Hopefully we’ll have some cap room to sign a top end FA 1st liner too.
We need to stock pile picks and hit on them too.

Looks like Parayko and Bortuzzo will be back sometime this week. That means the 6th D spot will go to Rosen or Mikkola.. Hopefully Rosen gets it.
Probably not, as I would think generally need to dress 11-12 forwards to compete. Otherwise just gonna get overwhelmed out there as guys get tired.
