St. Louis Blues Summer Playbook
Posted on 28 Jun 2011 by Corey Krakower.
The St. Louis Blues 2010-11 season was one to forget, especially given the number of unfortunate injuries. The Blues continue to be on the rise because of strong drafting and cultivation of their young players. This offseason will be relatively uneventful for Blues fans, as the team will likely focus on re-signing their own players. Jaroslav Halak had a decent first season in St. Louis, but he ...

MONEY IS POWER
Posted on 9 Jan 2011 by Dave Frederick.
Let me begin by quoting a great American, Gordon Gekko. “Greed, for lack of a better word, is good”. At some point, the Blues must adhere to these words of wisdom and take the advice of this Wall Street felon. Note to Blues ownership, get greedy and obsess about winning a Stanley Cup. But first, let's dive into some of the real issues the Bluenote are experiencing. Anybody...

THIS TEAM PERSONIFIES HEART
Posted on 1 Jan 2011 by Dave Frederick.
“Teamwork divides the task and doubles the success”. This quote can easily be attributed to any player currently on the Blues roster. This season so far has been a rollercoaster. The beginning showed the Blues off to one of their best starts in franchise history. Then injuries hit and the team went into a downward spiral. But Head Coach Davis Payne was able to maintain con...

Why The Blues Should NOT Make A Major Trade
Posted on 8 Dec 2010 by Dave Frederick.
Everybody who claims to be a hockey expert is expecting and demanding the bewildered Blues management group to make a trade, and make it happen soon. One would think this would be an obvious way to go. With the team missing their three top forwards in T.J. Oshie (broken ankle), David Perron and Andy McDonald (concussions), there is no question the Blues are hurting for offense. But the Bl...

NOTHING BETTER THAN COOKED DUCK
Posted on 11 Oct 2010 by Dave Frederick.
I spent many years covering the Anaheim Ducks. They have some of the most obnoxious, uneducated hockey fans around. However, their ice girls are all Playboy material. With that said, I receive great pleasure when watching them lose (the team that is), especially at the hands of the St. Louis Blues. Let's look at some compelling notes from this game: The Blues outshot the Ducks 53-14. We...

Blues Season Preview
Posted on 14 Sep 2010 by Patrick McLellan.
Blues Season Preview Going into this season, the Blues have been projected by the Hockey News to reach sixth place in the western conference. This is no surprise to anyone whom knows this Blues team. What is a surprise is the fact that the team added no scoring this summer. Whether it was due to the thin market for snipers outside of the lazy Russian, not so lazy $100 million Russian range, or ...

Posted on 20 Apr 2009 by Mark Gage.
Breaking down the first round match up between the Canucks and Blues the stats told us that of all the categories, it was Specialty Teams where St Louis had a distinct advantage as they had the 8th best Power Play and 3rd best Penalty Killing units in the league while Vancouver plodded along at 16th with a man up and a man down. As you've heard in this space numerous times, stats can be ve...

Team-Win Gives Canucks Game #1
Posted on 16 Apr 2009 by Mark Gage.
While it wasn't very pretty, and the Referees were far too prominent on the night for both team's liking, the Canucks continued to do what they did in the final two games of the regular season … play a very solid team-game and get the job done. GM Place was jacked for this one as the expectations are as high as they have ever been in this city, and some may have liked to see a l...
