The St. Louis Blues might be close to a playoff spot in January of the 2025-26 season, but there is a fleeting feeling. After being demolished 7-3 by bitter rival Chicago, there is still no direction for this team.
After 44 games, that simply cannot be.
Looking ahead at the rest of the season, the Olympic Games are next month, and then there is a very quick turnaround to the Trade Deadline in March. Hopefully, god-willing, this Blues team will have a sense of where they want to go in their immediate or distant future.
