Last place on January 3rd. Champions on June 12th.

Seven years later we still can't explain it, so we stopped trying and made an episode about it instead. No grades, no cap talk — just Luke and Nick back in the 2019 vault, picking out the moments from the Cup run that still get us.

A bar in Philadelphia and a song nobody saw coming. A rookie goalie named Binnington. The streak that turned a dead season into a playoff team. Maroon in double OT. The hand pass. Game 7 in Boston, and what the room you watched it in sounded like. Plus the personal ones — [who you watched with, the moment you finally let yourself believe it].

Whether you were at the parade or you found this team afterward, this one's for you.

Alex Pietrangelo walked for nothing. Tage Thompson became a 40-goal scorer somewhere else. And we still can't talk about the Bolduc trade without raising our voices.

Luke and Nick put ten years of St. Louis Blues front-office decisions on trial — eleven moves, no rankings, no mercy — and then run a live snake draft to decide which FIVE were the worst of the worst. The Cup Amnesty Clause is on the table, but does it apply?

Three years ago, Doug Armstrong pulled the trigger. Today, we're grading everything that's happened since.

Nick and Luke break the Blues rebuild into four acts and debate the effects of each one.

Act I — The Sell-Off: The O'Reilly and Tarasenko trades that kicked it all off, and the 2023 draft trio (Dvorsky, Stenberg, Lindstein) built in their wake
Act II — The Retool: Three coaches in three years, the Broberg/Holloway offer sheet gamble, the Fowler heist, and the 12-game streak that saved 2025
Act III — The 2026 Deadline: Schenn to the Islanders, Faulk to Detroit, two first-round picks coming back
Act IV — The New Core: The Kyrou and McTavish blockbusters that rebuilt the roster overnight
