It Came From Twitter: Blues Scouts at Carolina vs. Anaheim Game
Tis the season for reports of scouts in the building… fa-la-la-la-la la la la la… Suppose I should mention who’s scouting in the building: CHI, TOR, TB, PHX, PHI, NSH, NYR, STL. Not going to read anything into it. — Eric Stephens (@icemancometh) February 9, 2012 For those who don’t know Eric Stephens is the...
My Take: In a Thinning Field One Name Stands Tall
As a few of you read yesterday, I don’t fall in to the camp that fears a trade destroying team chemistry. The benefit of addressing needs greatly outweighs the risk of making a couple of guys unhappy that their buddy was traded. It’s a business and there is the whole franchise’s future to consider. If...
Interesting Tidbits from The Hotstove Last Night Potentially Relating to the Blues
The best produced and most informational discussion segment in all of hockey media is The Hotstove during the second intermission of Hockey Night in Canada on CBC. Sadly, many puckheads in the US miss this because they don’t have NHL Network or are too enthralled in their teams game that isn’t on HNIC. Fortunately there...
Random thoughts on a not so cold Monday before Christmas…
Is it really above 50 degrees before 7am? Seriously?! Christmas is 5 work days and one “wish I could sleep in but can’t” day away. Didn’t the farmers almanac predict this would be a wicked winter? Guess not… Anyways… On to hockey related rambling…. Of Blues & Blue Jackets After watching last night’s 6-4 Blues...

Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Capitals 11-29-11
Ugly wins count as marks in the win column, indeed, and it’s doubtful that many wins this season will be much uglier than the St. Louis Blues’ 2-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday evening. Speaking of ugly . . . I’m not sure exactly what the hell you would call this skirmish...

Video: Brian Elliott is a Highlight Reel Machine
What can be said about Brian Elliott‘s play so far? Not much other than, “wow”. He’s jumped out to a 3-0-0 start which has forced number one netminder Jaroslav Halak to the bench for the time being. He’s been clean and effective so far, but he has made several spectacular saves as well. The first is...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Flyers 10-22-11
What a nice come-from-behind victory by the Blues over the Carolina Hurricanes at home last night – proof that if you put enough shots on a goaltender, eventually the puck CAN bounce your way. So yes, the Blues won the game in overtime, 3-2, but as somewhat anticipated, there were no fights in the contest....
