Backes is the Selke
Days after advancing to the second round, the St. Louis Blues received more kudos for their extraordinary season. Blues captain, David Backes, has been nominated for the Frank J. Selke award for the best defensive forward of the season. Recently it has become more accurately described as the best two-way player of the season. The...
My Chat With Dave Eminian
Dave Eminian, who many of you might know as @IceTimeCleve on Twitter, has a job many of us can only dream of. Getting paid to watch and write hockey. But he’s earned his dues, and in doing so, he’s been able to cover to Peoria Rivermen, from their East Coast Hockey League days, all the...

Pick the Goal Scorer | February 29: Blues vs Oilers
It’s Leap Day, and the Blues are sure leaping… to the top of the Central Division that is. David Backes has been one of the powerhouses for the Blues lately, and was the first to score on Monday night. We’ve got a steady flow of correct guessers lately; make sure you get in on the...
Throwdown Lowdown – Wild @ Blues, 02-18-12
That was a nice little bounce-back game, I’d say. You could say the St. Louis Blues were playing a weakened New York Islanders team, and I would probably agree with that (top goaltender Evgeni Nabokov could not play due to illness), but a 5-1 win over a team in playoff contention in the Eastern Conference...

Throwdown Lowdown – Oilers @ Blues 01-19-12
What a run this team is on, albeit aided by lots of home dates. A great setup led to a spectacular goal in the St. Louis Blues’ 1-0 victory over the Dallas Stars in what can best be described as a slugfest of a game on Monday night, in front of a captivated home crowd...
Throwdown Lowdown – Stars @ Blues 01-16-12
The St. Louis Blues can win a game in the shootout? Holy crap! And so it was done on Saturday, as the Blues played the Minnesota Wild to a 2-2 tie in regulation and a scoreless five-minute overtime period, and took the victory in a shootout, most undoubtedly the single dumbest way I can think...
