With the team in last place just after the new year, Blues general manager Doug Armstrong had a chance to blow up the roster at the trade deadline. But he didn't. Armstrong's boldness and belief in the squad he'd assembled deserves praise after the franchise claimed its first Stanley Cup.

It's a Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final. The bad bounces and bad luck of the past don't matter right now. Martin's tie or Jon Hamm's beard don't matter right now.  This is all about the St. Louis Blues winning one more game. Just one more. It's the focus of the latest TKO (The Kilcoyne Opinion).

David Backes played for the St. Louis Blues for a decade. He was the captain and was hugely popular with fans. But now that he's playing for the Boston Bruins, all the good vibes are on hold. The Blues current captain Alex Pietrangelo is extremely close to Backes but admitted that Backes has yet to return his text. Former Blues winning the Stanley Cup is the subject of the latest TKO.

The Blues President of Hockey Operations Doug Armstrong made a bold move. He decided at the NHL's trade deadline to make no move. He doubled down that this team would be good enough for a playoff run.

I would never tell Blues coach Craig Berube what to do, but maybe he could look his players in the eye on Tuesday and say "I do not plan on going back to San Jose."  In other words, let's avoid a Game 7. Please.

Blues players were irate. Blues fans went from stunned to ticked. After San Jose won Game 3 of the Western Conference Final, what people really wanted was an explanation. Good luck with that.
