Thanks for sharing Scott! — Much like every other Hockey fan this off-season, I have been missing the sport.

What Should the Opening Night Forward Lines Be?

It’s do or die time as the St. Louis Blues (27-24-9, 63 Points) head to the frozen reaches of Alberta to take on the Edmonton Oilers (20-33-8, 48 Points).

Gameday 2-19-11: New Look Blues vs. Ducks
What a wild and wacky 24 hours it’s been folks. The captain and the cornerstone rebuilding block both traded in a span of barely 12 hours. One thing is for sure, Doug Armstrong clearly has a different mandate than Larry Pleau. It’s the dawn of a new era. Oh, one other thing is for sure....
