Let's Go Blues

One would think facing the worst goaltending in the NHL the Blues would actually try shooting from everywhere. Nope. Same old lets look for the perfect shot crap and not shoot at all.

BLUES The St. Louis Blues are looking to bounce back after losing to the New York Islanders 4-2 on Tuesday night. The game started out well for the Blues. After a scoreless first period, Alexey Toropchenko and Jordan Kyrou scored to put the Blues up by two 8:30 into the second period. From then on,...

Was surprised to see Seattle essentially conceding making the playoffs by trading Wenberg. Oilers getting Henrique definitely should solve their forward depth issue for the playoffs, but the question mark is still can they get by with essentially two really good defenseman (with different skills - E...

Faulk was a blatant step slow all night in this game. Didn't even realize Tucker was playing until the 3rd period. If Hofer doesn't over-play the puck on the Isles 3rd goal, this might have turned out different. But again - the Blues were slow getting back defensively which allowed the wrap-around t...

interesting moves by the Avs... In Sean Walker and Casey Middlestadt Out Ryan Johansen (whose proved he doesn't deserve to be paid seeing as the Flyers immediately waived him) and Byram. Really - essentially replacing Bowen Byram with Sean Walker? That seems short-sighted. Middlestadt might actually...

While Blues Notes keep pointing out the Blues PP success under Bannister, who took over Dec 14th, the Blues also hired Brad Richards as a consultant on Dec 13th, specifically to assist with the power play. Just something to consider as to who deserves credit, since the Blues website repeatedly fails...

BLUES The St. Louis Blues spoiled Dollar Dog Night at Wells Fargo Center on Monday with a 2-1 shootout win over the Philadelphia Flyers. Aside from the hot dogs, fans of offense didn't have great reason to enjoy Monday's game. Scott Laughton put Philly on the board first, but the Blues were scorele...

While the Flyers are good at taking away time and space, in general, they are incredibly focused on Neighbours and Kyrou, so far, who are getting even less space than the rest of the forwards.

BLUES After losing all three games on their most recent road trip, the St. Louis Blues came back to Enterprise Center for one chance to get back in the win column. Their opponent: the Minnesota Wild, who were just a point back of the Blues, looking to make a playoff push of their own. St. Louis res...

While the Blues won the game, they didn't seem to play better. Ozone time was mostly Minnesota through the first two periods. If you can't control offensive zone time vs the Wild, you certainly aren't going to do so against actual playoff teams as much as is needed. Time to sell... no idea whom or f...

They need to quit posting that "Armstrong 2 wins away" thing. Blues have gone winless since they started posting that in the Blues Notes.

BLUES The St. Louis Blues picked up one point Wednesday in Edmonton. The night after a tough loss in Winnipeg, the Blues had their hands full going against Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl at Rogers Place. While the game went to overtime, McDavid would score with under 30 seconds left to send the ...

From being in the 2nd wild card spot to 7 points back, in what, 8 days maybe?

Sell... No idea who to sell since I'd rather they kept Buchnevich around, but he seems to be the only player of value. Even he has a modified NTC which is a 12 team no trade list.

BLUES The St. Louis Blues are back at it, looking to rebound after a 4-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday. Winnipeg blitzed the Blues early, taking a 3-1 lead into the first intermission. Brandon Saad scored to bring it within one, but Alex Iafallo would convert on a rebound, putting the game o...

Well, Kessel hasn't been particularly good since being told he could stay. Blues media was making a big deal of how he hadn't been on the ice for an even strength goal against while ignoring his defensive zone turnovers and the fact Blues forwards repeatedly bailed him out after said turnovers. The ...

BLUES The St. Louis Blues will need a short memory as their road trip continues north of the border. Last time out, the Blues were manhandled by the Detroit Red Wings, 6-1. Patrick Kane scored 33 seconds in, and the onslaught did not stop there. The Blues found themselves down 4-0 after one period,...

Seems like no matter who plays for Detroit, they give a crap about beating the Blues. Does not seem like the reverse is true.

Might just have to go to a Jacksonville Iceman game on March 3rd, since I can't make the one on March 2nd. They are playing the Orlando Solar Bears who have 3 Blues prospects - Tanner Dickinson, Jeremie Biakabutuka, and Marc-Andre Gaudet. If Colten Ellis gets returned from the T-Birds, he'd be a 4th...

The 6 points in his last 7 games for the T-Birds was the reason why Bolduc. It's probably more of a let's see where is now in NHL terms and debuting against Roy is a nice deal for Bolduc considering the time he spent playing for him in the Q.

Another early weekend game. Other than the Leafs game, the Blues have done well in starts between 11 and 1 CT, going 4-1, thus far.
