The end of the Blues’ season in May and the start of the preseason in September sounds like it’s a gulf apart, but in reality, fans are pretty close to seeing the team back on ice. The first pre-season game is just two and a half months away, and camp starts before that. The regular season will be here before you know it.
Hell, Thursday night is the draft and free agency starts next Tuesday. The off-season will be done before you know it, though the less said about the August doldrums the better.
The Blues released their preseason dates today, and the eight season slate features two games that the NHL has deemed “neutral site” games.
