Pick the Goal Scorer: February 4 vs Nashville Predators
Last night’s game turned into a goaltender battle, with Jaroslav Halak coming out on top with a shut out. The Blues were only able to score one goal on Jonathan Quick. That goal came from Jamie Langenbrunner, who none of our readers picked to score! Hopefully, our fans have better luck picking the goal scorer...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Predators, 02-04-12
It can never be pretty, but it can always be effective. That’s a pretty accurate description of many of the St. Louis Blues’ wins this season, and the 1-0 victory last night over the Los Angeles Kings was no exception to that edict. Despite some excitement, there were no fighting majors issued in this contest,...
Pick the Goal Scorer: Feb 3 vs Los Angeles Kings
So far BNZ readers are getting shut out in the Pick the Goal Scorer contest! Only one person picked Patrik Berglund as the first to score for the Blues against the Penguins. She is our only correct guesser thus far! Hopefully tonight brings better luck! Remember, we are keeping a tally of right answers for...
Throwdown Lowdown – Kings @ Blues 02-03-12
Geez, that was a while away from hockey, wasn’t it? I can barely remember who played against the St. Louis Blues in their last game . . . oh wait, now I remember! It was the Pittsburgh Penguins, who were able to sneak out of St. Louis with a 3-2 shootout win. Despite another stupid hit...
Second Half Surge
Well here’s to hoping Brian Elliott’s third period play in the NHL All-Star Game doesn’t translate into the second half of the season… With the Blues being off until Friday, we fans have a lot of time to kill. Mostly, it will be spent watching the Note drop down in the standings through no fault...
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...
My Take: Don’t Fear a Loss of Chemistry
Team chemistry is certainly very important and is a primary contributing factor the Blues’ current success. Such a statement meets little resistance among fans and media alike. Yet, the favorite question of the former lurks in the quiet corners of St. Louis, waiting for an opportunity boisterously jump out like Louie the pantless bear....
2012 NHL All-Star Game Open Blog
It’s time for the 2012 NHL All Star Game. Brian Elliott may be the lone St. Louis Blues representative, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be much to talk about. Indoor pond hockey does have its high points. Consider this post an open thread to share your thoughts on the game in general, Ells’ performance or...
Video: Brian Elliott Talks All Star Game on NHL Network
Check out Blues “backup” goalie Brian Elliott talking to Brian Duff of NHL Network before the All Star Game. He may want to take that comment back about playing with mini-sticks with Corey Perry… On a serious note, it’s awesome to hear he got a few of them signed for charity purposes. Hope to hear...
