The St. Louis Blues have always prided themselves on being a sound, defensive team. Some years, it just did not work out by the end of the season in terms of having guys healthy.
The Blues would usually go into the postseason with someone banged up, even if they toughed it out. If not injuries, the Blues might just not have had guys at the right stage of their career. Talent is talent, but experience trumps all.
In 2018-19, the Blues have it all. They have all their players healthy and they have the depth to go along with it, should injuries happen along the way.
