The Blues were just three seconds away from pulling off one of the biggest upsets in NHL history. After going 21-5-4 over the last three months to sneak into the final wild card spot, the Blues had a 3-2 lead over the Presidents' Trophy winner, the Winnipeg Jets, in Game 7. Although the Blues choked and ultimately fell 4-3 in double overtime, it was still extremely impressive that the Blues were able to put up such a good fight.
It gave fans hope that the team is closer to being competitive again than previously thought. If they were able to make a few moves during the offseason, the Blues could be a team that can make the playoffs and make some noise as well.
