With a bright future ahead of them and expectations of being a playoff team once again, this is the perfect situation. The Blues, who have a die-hard fan base from across the globe, will get some much-needed attention as they are still deemed as pretty hefty underdogs next season.
The 2025-26 season will have just about everything that you want to see. A full offseason of preparation for head coach Jim Montgomery, the last ride for General Manager Doug Armstrong, and some rising stars that will look to make an impact in their rookie campaign, like Jimmy Snuggerud and Logan Mailloux.
Getting those 14 games in the spotlight of the entire country. According to Sports Business Journal, the NHL had an average of 445,000 viewers in each of the regular-season games last season. The numbers were down as opposed to recent years, but things will likely pick up in 2025-26.
Do you believe the Blues deserved to have 14 nationally televised games next season?
