The Blues are so over-matched in the physical play that I hope someone doesn't get killed. It looks like men vs. boys. They might be able to overcome that if they had some speed, but they just don't.

If the goal is a Stanley Cup for this franchise then it's time to start over. Armstrong needs to go and the Blues need to be re-tooled around Allen, who has obviously proven himself, and Parayko as the defensive anchor. As far as I'm concerned every other player is expendable in some way if it means building this team back to contender status.

Wait until you see how bad this team gets beat up when Reeves gets lost to expansion.

The Blues, as they sit, are as far away from a Stanley Cup as they have ever been in their history.
