Let's Go Blues

And while they are talking about Neighbours, he can actually play Center (since that's what he did in juniors).... Unlike Bolduc who is listed as a Center (yet never played it in Juniors), but will likely never play the position.

And 2 guys at the net - aren't enough. We've seen plenty of 2 guys there and it doesn't result in goals. If you go back over the past 2 months and see when the PP works, there are almost always 3 guys within 15 feet of the front of the net. That 3-on-2 in front matters. Teams have learned how to def...

Why has the Blues PP been 2 for the last 16? They stopped going to the net. The PP goal vs the Wild - 3 guys went to the net after the puck went to the blueline. That hasn't been happening and that 3 guys going to the net thing is what makes the PP work. It's a departure from staying in the stationa...

BLUES The St. Louis Blues are feeling lucky this St. Patrick's Day, securing their third win in a row Saturday night against Minnesota. It took longer than they'd hoped, but the Blues pulled out a win in a shootout. The Blues were leading 2-1 for most of the third period, but a late goal from Kiril...

BLUES The St. Louis Blues are back on the upswing following a 3-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings. The star of the show Wednesday was Jordan Binnington, who stopped 40 of 41 shots... "Since I've come here, whether it's Binner or Joel (Hofer), the goaltending has been outstanding for us," Blues Head ...

This is fun.... Thanks Kevin Woodley... As much as mediots love to use advanced analytics, especially Goals Saved Above Expected when it comes to goalies and having Vezina conversations, guess who is number one in GSAE. Yep, Jordan Binnington. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"...

So under Berube and Ott through mid-December, the Blues PP was one of the worst in the league. There was no net front presence and puck movement was WAY to slow. Changes. Berube gets fired, Bannister gets promoted (Dec 13th ish) and Brad Richards is hired as a consultant to specifically address the ...

Kopitar got away with clearly holding Parayko's stick, which would allowed an easy clear, instead of a Kings goal, which the entire TNT crew ignored. Also, when a Kings player kicked Binnington's stick, should've been interference on the Kings the same as they called on Leddy in the first Blues King...

BLUES After an ugly three games in the Tri-State area, the Blues shipped up to Boston for one last matchup with the Bruins before returning to Enterprise Center. St. Louis had been reeling, but you'd never know it from Monday's box score. The Blues had been struggling to create offense, especially ...

No Dean tonight. Same lineup as Monday.

We complain about the Blues depths lack of speed... watch the Washington Capitals. That entire team, from first line to last, is insanely slow.

While I prefer watching Blues wins... it would be better if they lost to improve their draft position... Granted, they won't get anywhere near Anaheim, San Jose, Chicago, or Columbus... but still... get a better draft position.

Tortorella being suspended two games after getting thrown out of the Flyers-Lightning game has a twist. His 2004 Stanley Cup team was honored before the game being it's the 20th anniversary for them. Classic Torts!

BLUES The St. Louis Blues will be happy to get out of the Tri-State area as their five-game road trip ends in Boston. After winning in Philadelphia, the Blues have lost three games in a row to the New York Islanders, New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers, respectively. On Saturday night, the Blues...

Based on the games vs NJ and the Rangers, it looks like this team is taking the rest of the season off. Wow... 46 shot attempts vs the Rangers.... super easy shutout for Shesterkin. They somehow managed 62 vs the Islanders, but it seemed way lower since only 24 reached the goalie and until the power...

He's been playing in all 3 of the Russian leagues - KHL, MHL, and VHL - MHL is like juniors,
VHL is AHL equivalent, and we all know what the KHL is. Nothing stands out statistically, but he's only 20 and D always develops slowly.

BLUES After a disappointing loss in Newark, NJ on Thursday, the Blues will look to get to .500 on their five-game Eastern Conference road trip when they visit the New York Rangers on Saturday. The Devils came out strong against a Blues team that was playing their third game in four days on the road...

It's painful watching Krug get a) runover or b) flat out outreached when he slightly misplays a puck, and c) Faulk just being a step slow all the time. How much of that is actual issues with age or not giving a damn due to the current team situation or something else? I don't know. Looking at Spring...

I just hope we don't wind up with another season of the Blues current defensive corps, but hopes aren't high given their current contracts.

Devils goalie didn't really have to do that much.
