GameBlog 02-13-10: Blues vs Caps
Washington Capitals vs. St. Louis Blues Pregame The Blues face possibly their toughest task of the season tonight as the the best offensive team in the league rolls in to Scottrade when the Blues played the night before. The Washington Capitals nearly set an NHL record recently with 14 consecutive victories. In that run they...
Throwdown Lowdown – Capitals @ Blues 2-13-10
Colton Orr and Cam Janssen got into one non-fight and one fight last night in the Blues’ tilt with the Toronto Maple Leafs. The non-fight was a draw and won’t even count toward the totals and the main event was not graded as of “press time”. So I’ll grade it myself – Orr won, hands...
Mason on Standby
According to Kevin Allen of USA Today (@kausatoday on Twitter), Blues netminder Chris Mason has been tapped as Team Canada’s “standby” Goalie for the Olympics. Apparently some speculation pointed to struggling sophomore Steve Mason of the Columbus Blue Jackets, however that doesn’t appear to be the case. The Red Deer, Alberta native is 33 years...
Game Day Preview – Leafs @ Blues, Feb 12,2010
The Leafs are in town, a team incredibly thin on talent up front and are 12 points back of the Blues in the NHL standings. Should be an easy 2 points…….
Throwdown Lowdown – Maple Leafs @ Blues 2-12-10
The Detroit Red Wings DID relent and fight in their game against the Blues on Tuesday. Yes, it was the shards of Brad May’s career that fought our own Brad Winchester. It was scored a draw, and rightfully so as no one really landed anything solid. The fight pushes Winchester Cathedral up to 3-1-4 on...

The Olympics Are Coming, The Olympics Are Coming!
Yes, its true, the Olympics are truly coming. The opening ceremonies are on Friday night, but the hockey doesn’t start until the 13th. Womans hockey starts on the 13th, the mens on the 16th. I will be doing my best, as I know will the rest of the writers on here to cover the Olympics...
Where is Kariya Going?
It’s that time of year again isn’t it? The season is roughly 2/3 done and the first “trade deadline” is approaching with the impending trade freeze due to the Olympics. The real deadline comes soon after the conclusion of the games in Vancouver. With the Blues inconsistent play and being six points out with five...
GameBlog 02-09-10: Blues vs Red Wings
Work, work, and more work = inability to get to my pregame thoughts. Here is what I saw from my vantage point in Sec 318. - The Blues are improving in their ability to stake with better teams. The quick decision making is improving, but not where it needs to be. - Took the Blues...
Throwdown Lowdown – Red Wings @ Blues 2-9-10
Things got a bit hairy at work today, so this is late in being posted. Oh well, it happens from time to time. Not only that, I put the wrong date down when I originally posted this. That has now been fixed. So not only did the Blues lose the game to the Avs yesterday,...
