Can the Blues’ Goaltending Get Any Better?
Posted on 25 Jan 2012 by Patrick McLellan.
The answer is yes. Signing Brian Elliot to a $600,000 two-way deal was a great move as the Blues gained an all star and did not have to sacrifice any assets. It was a minor blip on the radar in the free agency period last summer but it’s panned out wonderfully to this point. What they lost in free agency though was Ty Conklin. This sounds like nothing at first. I don’t have cable, so all I ...

Halak Stop and Two Smoking Barrels
Posted on 12 Oct 2011 by Patrick McLellan.
After giving up five goals on 32 shots, pundits were quick to jump on goaltender Jaroslav Halak. For those of you in need of an algebra tune up, his save percentage breaks down like this; 5 goals / 32 shots = x / 100 32 shots times x = 500 500 divided by 32 = 15.625, which = x Take 100 (shots faced) and subtract 15.625 (avg amount of goals that went in if his shot total were rounded up to 1...

998..999..1000!
Posted on 1 Apr 2011 by Shane Hoopfer.
Jarome Iginla received a partial breakaway feed from Alex Tanguay and raced down the right side snapping a wrist shot on the blocker side beneath Jaroslav Halak's blockers and history was made. Iginla's second goal and third point of the night led the Flames to a 3-2 win over the St. Louis Blues keeping their slim playoff hopes alive but more historically important it was the 1000th point of th...

Those Aren’t Rims, They’re Spoilers
Posted on 24 Mar 2011 by Patrick McLellan.
Davis Payne is faced with the difficult task of convincing the members of the St. Louis Blues that they should play hard down the stretch in the role of spoilers. This has got to be agonizing for the second year NHL coach. Nobody (except everyone outside of St. Louis and a handful of people whom follow hockey very closely) planned on the St. Louis Blues finishing the season outside of the playo...

Top 10 Pierre Gauthier Excuses for Trade Deadline Inactivity
Posted on 2 Mar 2011 by Corey Krakower.
A Montreal tradition lives on! The NHL Trade Deadline has passed and Monrealers are furious, like every year, that the General Manager of the Montreal Canadiens did nothing. Philadelphia, Boston, Tampa Bay, Washington and Pittsburgh all improved their teams, while the Habs seemed content to stand pat. With the roster as it is right now, it’s hard for fans to see how this team can replicate la...

Yip, Defense Lead Avs past Blues
Posted on 25 Jan 2011 by Adam Lanning.
It just goes to show that when the Colorado Avalanche score three or more goals, they are a difficult team to contain. The Avs broke a two-game skid against the visiting St. Louis Blues Monday night, and they did it as a team, not as individuals. Even though the Avs got the eventual win, it didn’t come easy, as it took them a while to figure out Blues goalie Jaroslav Halak. The first period w...

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...

The NHL season has hit the one-quarter mark; and the Montreal Canadiens stand atop the Northeast division with a record of `13-7-1 through 21 games played. Backed by exceptional goaltending, efficient special teams and goal scoring contributions from some unexpected players; the Habs have been one of the best teams in the Eastern Coneference and have shown that they can compete with any team on...

Wow, That Sucked
Posted on 17 Nov 2010 by Patrick McLellan.
As everyone in Blues nation has quickly learned in the past seven days, this Blues team (and Jaroslav Halak especially) is not invincible. However, it is not time to push the panic button. Does it hurt to give up huge amounts of goals to the BJ’s or hated Detroit? Of course, but it’s still very early in the season and this team is holding NHL auditions while five of the most skilled and exp...

This is a game that the Jackets need to win in order to build their confidence as they have a tough month of November ahead of them.

BROADWAY BLUES!
Posted on 8 Nov 2010 by Dave Frederick.
One night after skating into Boston and defeating a very good Bruins team, the Blues waltzed in to Madison Square Garden and shut down the New York Rangers 2-0. Back to back road wins, and this shutout came with Jaroslav Halak enjoying the sights from the bench. Ty Conklin made 27 saves in just his 2nd game of the season. The Blues once again played a spectacular team game and as a result, ...

THANK YOU BOSTON!
Posted on 7 Nov 2010 by Dave Frederick.
Jaroslav Halak deservedly has stolen the Blues headlines when it comes to getting the best of a trade. But how about the acquisition of Vladimir Sobotka? This energetic centerman made the Boston Bruins cringe Saturday night by scoring his first goal in a St. Louis uniform. Sobotka was also a dominant force in faceoffs, winning 13 of 16 draws. As much as we like to thank Montreal for the...
