Two players totaling roughly 1/5 of the teams cap...

Columbus Blue Jackets vs. St. Louis Blues Pregame …and the beat goes on… The Blues face off against Division rival Columbus tonight in a game that could further bury Columbus or propel the Blues. Columbus sits in 14th place in the West with 51 points, 10 points behind 8th place Detroit. The Blues are in...
Familiar Territory
The St. Louis Blues are no stranger to adversity. Since the Laurie’s gutted this organization and shipped marquee player Chris Pronger to Edmonton, the Blues have been in a full blown rebuild under the owner ship group headed by Dave Checketts. Rebuilds are a process with most of the time spent not dressing a competitive...
Strachan to Peoria | King Recalled | Carlo?
According to the Peoria Journal Star, the Blues have sent Defensemen Tyson Strachan back to Peoria following the return of DJ King. Kings conditioning assignment in Peoria was up and it was time to head back to St. Louis. In one game in this recall Strachan played 18+ minutes of solid hockey, registering a shot...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blue Jackets @ Blues 1-30-10
The Blues have gone two straight games without playing Cam Janssen . . . and thus, two straight games without a good ol’ scrap. While this is great for Gary Bettman and his friends in New York, it tends to put people like me in a sedated trance without the proper innoculation. In layman’s terms...

Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Oilers 1-28-10
There were no fights last night between the Canucks and Blues (at least nothing worth grading, anyway), although I nearly jumped through the television screen to have a few words with the officiating crew after that supposed slashing call in the 3rd period that led to the power play goal that ended up deciding the...

Wednesday Wonderings #1
Was anyone scoreboard watching last night? I think Blues fans should be with the race so tight so early this season. Here are the updated standings. With Detroit taking a point last night the Blues are now 5 points back of the 8th spot in the West. WESTERN GP W L OTL PTS San Jose...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Canucks 1-27-10
As expected, the fists flew in Stampede City on Monday night. As anticipated, one of the fights was between Cam Janssen and Brandon Prust. And as we all know he can, Janssen took down Prust, with an impressive finish to boot. Unfortunately, Janssen got involved with Brian McGrattan earlier in a matchup that proved to...
