Scaled-down Blues are worst in NHL, putting 25-season playoff streak at serious risk
When St. Louis Blues owner Bill Laurie decided to sell the team, he slashed payroll and shipped out star defenseman Chris Pronger rather than signing him to a long-term deal, believing that would make the team more attractive to potential buyers.

For now, the franchise is suffering mightily for it. The sad-sack Blues have four victories in the first 22 games this season and are worst in the NHL with 11 points. Their run of 25 consecutive playoff appearances, the longest in U.S. professional sports, is seriously threatened only a quarter of the way through the season.
