The Blues picked a hell of a time to go on a four-game losing streak, didn’t they?
There are worse times to lose four games in a row other than an exhibition game and three games intended for seeding, like, say, during a real playoff round. It’s not the end of the world that the defending Stanley Cup champions went from the top team in the Western Conference to the number four seed in the playoffs. After all, the Presidents’ Trophy winning Bruins didn’t even get a shootout loser point like the Blues did.
