Pitiful

What's pitiful you ask?  The St. Louis Blues ice hockey team.  As I write this the team trails the Vancouver Canucks 5-0 after two periods.

I enjoy the game but don't pretend to be too knowledgeable of it.  But, I do know St. Louis doesn't play much defense and at times they seem to have trouble putting the puck in the net.  That's not a good formula for success.  Coming into this game the team was 10-13-4.  The team can be impressive one night (as they were on Friday night when they beat the Winnipeg Jets 1-0) or look like crap as they do right now.

It's a long season since the National Hockey League plays 82 games before the playoffs.  But, if the Blues don't turn it around soon there won't be any playoffs come April.
