 The Blues are officially on autopilot. After another stretch of blown leads, flat second periods, and lifeless responses, St. Louis is spiraling into a full-on identity crisis. In this episode, we break down the Calgary, Philadelphia, and Vegas games, dig into the alarming trends behind the numbers, and explain why the Blues’ issues go far deeper than bad luck or a bad week. From structural breakdowns and special teams disasters to leadership questions and a roster that can’t find its spark, we ask the big question: what is actually wrong with the St. Louis Blues?

It’s getting ugly. The Blues let another game slip away — five goals against at home for the third time this season — and there’s no hiding from the truth.
