I have not heard one peep from anyone in the media about falling short of the record. Not a peep. Even at the most heated, the Blues have a pretty easy going media environment. At times, that lack of scrutiny probably works against the ultimate goal of a Cup. Not enough scrutiny/heat to push the or...

Oh, I agree with that. They also blew (or blue) 1st in the West and the 1st overall in the last two weeks when it was there for the taking.

Remember that team goals against record we were supposed to shatter this year? Well, unless they get a shutout tonight, they won't beat it. 1 goal allowed will tie it and 2 against will mean we won't get it. Only because the NHL is counting the goal that is awarded to a shootout winner as a "goal a...

I don't care how, but let's see a win here.

Hitch stated during his press conference that Oshie returning to the bench is the coaches' fault and not Oshie's. He stated they have a philosophy about stick breaking situations, and it backfired in this scenario and they shouldn’t apply this philosophy in 4 on 3 scenarios. He stated the staff apol...

I'm saying that a new owner should not give Christian Ehrhoff $18 million in his first two years of a 10 year, $40 million deal.

Assuming all this is true, I would be happy to see some more payroll funds for this team, but let's just hope that if Chambers becomes the owner, he does not throw around stupid money like the Buffalo’s new owner. I get what he is trying to do, but some of Buffalo’s moves seem crazy and give the app...

Other than being a Hawks fan, Rutuu15 is good people and longtime regular. No need run him out of town, just say "Hawks suck" or "!$#% the Hawks" and move on.

No way is Reaves a regular starter over Crombeen. WTF? Crombeen is a legitimate NHL 4th liner, Reaves *might* be NHL player. Injuries will eventually make "who is going to the pressbox" discussions meaningless. If no one is on the IR, Reaves will either be in Peoria or will only be asked to put down...

I strongly disagree. In fact, I would be shocked if he plays in Peoria.

Sobotka will play on a wing, Arnott and Nichol will be centers.

If Nichol can do the job he has with other teams, being a PK and faceoff specialist, I'm not sure why everyone is looking down on this signing. Sure it is not a sexy signing by any means, and not Brad Richards, but the Blues have desperately needed an upgrade in the faceoff department for a long tim...

He was benched alot as the World tourney went on (a tourney with NHL players in it), so perhaps that gave him cold feet.

I pulled this off the Asylum. Berglund recently spoke to Swedish media. Some of the translation is wonky, but the highlights come across loud and clear. http://www.expressen.se/1.2420180 Tre Kronor-star: "Did some partying" He was Tre Kronor best players in the Czech Hockey Games and has a strong se...

I thought the Conroy trade was stupid then and still hold that belief. As for Brent Johnson, whatever improvements he has made to his game, and whatever he has become (decent backup), he was not going to make them in St. Louis. In the days/weeks leading up the Osgood trade, he was flat out horrible ...

Bump.

I think the non-relocation restriction, first passed on to Dollar Bill, and then passed on to Checketts group may now be at an end.

Tower could cash in by selling this team to Canada.

Here is a fun doomsday fact: The lease that keeps the Blues in St. Louis ran only through the 2010-2011 season.

(I do not believe the team would actually move)

I am fairly certain that the only parking the Blues earn revenue on is their garage. The rest of the parking is owned by the City, and that is a huge loss of revenue.
