Prospects Profile : Yan Stastny
When people hear the name Stastny, thoughts of offensive prowess likely comes to mind. The Stastny brothers – Peter, Anton and Marian – took the NHL by storm in the 1980’s when all three came from Czechoslovakia to play for the Quebec Nordiques.

Blues News: Perron off the power play?
Blues Insider Andy Strickland mentioned on Twitter today that David Perron is tentatively off the power play, although he could see some time Thursday in Phoenix. I can see the fan response now. “Murray hates Perron” “Free David Perron” “Perron being held back again” I think fans should take a step back before “flipping out”...
