2013-2014 St. Louis Blues...

last year's St. Louis Blues was a very good team,shutting out the Red Wings,6-0,opening night,making the Red Wings look stupid,in the process,that night... David Backes,and T.J. Oshie are two of the best young players,but with experience,and a definite edge to their games on offense... Kevin Shattenkirk,and Barret Jackson are two of the slickest,but physical players,in the NHL,along with Jay Bouwmeester,who anchor a very good team defense... Vladimir Tarasenko is a very,very good offensive player,and made the Red Wings look silly in the games,between the two teams,and should be a real superstar,in the NHL,and at age 21,he has a long career in store... the two goaltenders(Brian Elliott,and Jaroslav Halak),in the 2011-2012 NHL season(the last 82 game season),had fifteen shutouts... Elliott had nine,and Halak had six,of the team shutouts,that season... that tandem of goaltenders may be the best in the NHL... so the Blues have the solid foundation of a good team,and should be in the Stanley Cup playoffs,this season...
