Andy Murray
Payne vs. Suffering
Looking at the St. Louis Blues history, one could easily point out the pain and suffering the fans, as well as the organization itself, have gone through. Playoff run after playoff run ending in futility will cause such agony. Even a President’s Trophy and division champion could not bring Lord Stanley’s prize to St. Louis....
GameBlog 1-2-11: Blues vs. Stars
The St. Louis Blues have been one of the streakiest teams in the NHL this season. With a 7 game winning steak and a pair of 5 game losing skids to their credit. Late this afternoon they put their most recent streak on the line. Winners of five straight they seek a sixth against the...
Right coach, right time?
A few months ago I thought about coaching in the NHL and what it means to have the ‘right coach at the right time’. I have thought off and on since about the subject. In light of the recent coaching change the Blues have made I have started thinking about it again, to see if...

Looking For A Change

Tuesday Morning Random Thoughts
- Did the warning shots fired by Team Owner Dave Checketts only go so far? Basically the big boss asked for consistency and living up to your ability to make an impact. Last night the Blues seemed to lose that touch that they had gained in the games versus Phoenix and New York. When the...
Andy Murray’s Leash | How Long Is It?
6-7-4 Not a pretty record is it? 12th place in the west, 25th in the NHL. That’s in place for a lottery pick. Not where the Blues want to be right now. Sadly, because of that record, fans are questioning the coaching of head coach, Andy Murray. Fans are calling for Murray’s head after games...
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”...
