ST. LOUIS BLUES

 2013-14 RECAP

 The Blues went for it in 2013-14, adding Ryan Miller to a team that was already a top contender.  The Blues seemed home and cooled down the stretch for the division lead and a Wild Card opponent, but they slumped down the last few games and the Avalanche nipped them for the crown.  The punishment for their collapse was the defending Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks, who won 4 straight after the Blues won the first two at home.
