Your Blues returned to St. Louis on a wave of kinetic energy. That’s a fancy-pants way of saying they have the momentum in their first-round series against the Minnesota Wild. After being counted out more prematurely than Missouri’s own Harry S Truman in the 1948...
The Blues are hockey historians. The boys went into Minnesota on Monday evening and brought 2019 with them, blanking the Wild 4-0 in Game 1 of the first-round Stanley Cup playoff series. The four goals were scored by David Perron (3) and Ryan O’Reilly (1) – two key...
I don’t know if Tuesday’s game Colorado was a test run for the postseason, or just a look at how the Blues would measure up against the best team in the Western Conference. The Avalanche prevailed, sending the Blues home with a 5-3 loss. But the game had something for...
Seven opportunistic gentlemen employed by the Blues have scored 20 or more goals this season, and the list could grow to nine by the end of the regular season. Impressive. The Greatest Show on Tundra. These 2021-2022 Blues are more Brett Hull than Frank J. Selke....
All hail David Perron. His empty-net goal put a lid on the Blues’ impressive 5-2 win at Washington on Wednesday night. He’s blazing, having scored a goal in seven consecutive games. Perron has the most goals (13) in the NHL since Feb. 27, scoring on an absurd 27.7...
The Blues had a record of 0-2-1 during their spring-break trip to the New York city area, a place where the saloons stay open until 4 a.m. Thank goodness the boys returned home from their vacation on Sunday. They’ll get a chance to catch up on their rest, clean up and...
The Blues encountered the cranked-up New York Rangers on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. After recovering from a two-goal deficit to volley for a 3-2 lead, the Blues succumbed to the Blueshirts’ third-period blitz, losing 5-3. I didn’t think the Blues would...
Even with the overtime loss at Montreal, the Blues completed their four-game road trip by claiming seven of a maximum eight points. That’s swell. We’ll take it. The tour concluded with a 4-1 victory at Philadelphia. The highlight was the net return of Jordan...
Halfway through their regular-season schedule, the Blues are 23-11-5 for a .671 points percentage that ranks ninth overall and third in the Western Conference. As I review at midterm, there are no credible complaints on file. How can anyone be disappointed in what the...
