I wasn’t sure how I was going to handle not having season tickets this year after having them for a few years. Reading about the results of the game definitely make me feel better about not going to the games. I know they can’t win them all, but I would at least like to be entertained at the games. I’ve been to plentty of games where they don’t win, but the game was good. It doesn’t sound like there is much entertainment at these games outside of the third period against the Wolves last weekend.
What’s wrong with the team? Does the new system they are playing not suited to the players they have? Did the other teams send down more NHL players than the Blues? It’s early in the season, so they have time to turn it around, but things aren’t looking good when they keep getting shutout.
