It's gotten late early, and the Blues are at a pivotal moment in the franchise.
We all know the statistic: since the 2005-06 season, nearly 80 percent of teams in a playoff position at Thanksgiving will make the postseason. That means if the current standings hold for another two weeks, the St. Louis Blues will not be in a playoff spot, and the odds would be heavily against them playing hockey into the summer.
There's reason to believe the standings don't fully represent the Blues, though.
