I'm not really a Blues fan but born in and now back to living in the STL area. Was watching the news last night and they had this quote from the GM:
"I'd love to get third place," Armstrong said. "I see Dallas and I see Colorado as a different maturation part in their organizations. They seem to be a half a letter to a full letter grade ahead, but then I look at Minnesota, I look at what Winnipeg's going through, I look at what Nashville's going through and then you have Chicago and Arizona. Chicago's maybe entering a different spot and Arizona's trying to come out of the spot that Chicago's going into. I think third might be an easier thing to get than one of two wildcard spots."
I'm all about honesty from coaches and the front office but damn, probably not the best choice of words at this point to get your fanbase excited for the season!
