Singing The Blues Breaking Down The Minnesota Wild – St. Louis Blues Series With Kate Cimini

GPW: Another season, another early playoff exit from a team that looks like it could win it all. Is there ONE thing you can attribute to the loss from A Blues perspective?

KC: I’ve done a decent amount of research stats-wise, and have to come to the conclusion that the Blues simply didn’t bring their effort to the party. They had an improved Corsi rating, but were taking bad shots to get that rating and in general, refused to take control of the neutral zone. The only time they focused on possessing the puck through the neutral zone was Game 4, and we all know how that ended.
