GameBlog 12-31-10: Blues vs. Coyotes
Happy New Year’s Eve Blues fans! It’s not been the greatest year in the Note’s history, but 2011 looks to be very promising. To end the year the Phoenix Coyotes come in to an unseasonably warm St. Louis. Will the winning streak push to five games or will the Yotes cap off 2010 on a...
