The Spec Report

ST.LOUIS - It has been quite the year for the Blues as well as their farm team the Tigers. Both are near the top respectively while battling injuries after injuries. Every time they get a player back off the IR, another guy goes on it quite similar to last year. The only difference is that both teams have depth this year and still compete. At least this year the playoff spots won't be locked in the Norris/Pacific (farm) divisions by the midway point. We might actually have this tight division battle last until the 60 game mark...... maybe. But as history has shown, the second half of the season tends to be the opposite for these two teams. Will that be the case again this year?
