Do You Bleed Blue?

Horrible performance last night. The Blues were entirely outworked on their home ice by Nashville. Mason stood on his head to keep them in the game, but they just can't generate offense. No excuse for being outworked at home. Murray needs to kick some butt after that game.

TenRingsSTL 11/13/09

Yeah, the Blues are getting great goaltending from Mason and Conklin right now......they are just not getting goals and getting Ws

TenRingsSTL 11/09/09

Don't panic guys, I know its tough, the Bruins are in the same boat they gave up 4 goals in 3 games yet failed to win any of them games, the goals will come

azcardsfan 11/08/09

Another close loss in OT, with an MIA Blues offense.

TenRingsSTL 11/06/09

As long a they play good defensive hockey the goals will come

azcardsfan 11/02/09

I agree with you on the up and down thing.....the Blues need to find some consistency night to night. I believe it is part of the youth program and they are just going through the growing pains of learning to win consistently.

All of the young guys are off to pretty slow starts offensively....Berglund, Oshie, Backes, etc. I think once they pick it up a little, the Blues are going to be fine and make a nice push for a good playoff seed.

TenRingsSTL 10/30/09

Up and Down...Up and Down

That seems to be the theme with the squad thus far. One game we're winning 5-0, next game we lose 4-1.

I can't say that I'm completely dissatisfied with the Blues this year though. Those two wins against Detroit to start the season are going to be huge later on. Our goaltending has also been pretty solid thus far (I really think that the presence of Conklin is going to do wonders for Mason down the stretch).

The loss of Steen and Oshie (for a bit at least) is going to sting the offense. I still think that we need a primetime scorer. Someone you can rely on to get the puck in the back of the net on a consistent basis. You can't bank on Ol' Walt leading you to a Cup with a team high 25 goals.

STLguy 10/26/09

He's been pretty good so far......I haven't seen all their games, but he has been very active. The Blues got jobbed by the refs in the second period tonight, and Ott of Dallas was getting in everyone's face and he took a run at one of our d-men, and Keith went after him hard.

I've always thought Tkachuk was underrated and I think he's been a great Blue. Only strike against him was a couple of years ago when he came to camp totally out of shape and they suspended him.

TenRingsSTL 10/24/09

Hey Rings, how is Keith playing have not seen a game yet this yr, I know he has some goals and points, but that could be misleading , I am in a huge debate here in Boston with a B's fan I say I would rather have Keith than Recchi and he says I am crazy, Am I the only person that realizes how good Keith is, never mind his scoring but his leadership, and physical play am I wrong here. is Keith still the leader he used to be

azcardsfan 10/24/09

Couple of big games for the Note Friday-Saturday, starting with Minnesota tonight and Dallas tomorrow. The Blues haven't been good at home so far, so they need to establish themselves on homeice.

TenRingsSTL 10/23/09

Three straight losses, although last night's was an OT loss. Time to pick up the pace, boys.

TenRingsSTL 10/16/09

The Blues moved up to #4 in this week's ESPN Power Rankings

TenRingsSTL 10/06/09

The Note put Derek Armstrong on waivers today, to free up a space on the roster for DJ King, who should be ready to play Thursday.

The Blues want to keep Armstrong and send him to Peoria if he clears waivers.

TenRingsSTL 10/05/09

Great start to the season, getting two wins against the Wings. Way to send a message right off the bat.

TenRingsSTL 10/05/09

Nice start to season............YES

azcardsfan 10/03/09

The Blues are starting their season today in Sweden against the Red Wings.

TenRingsSTL 10/02/09

The Sporting News ranks the Blues 7th in the West in their pre-season preview, citing all the returning young talent.

TenRingsSTL 09/27/09

The Blues have re-signed BJ Crombeen. I like this signing as well. Crombeen brought toughness, a little attitude and a willingness to drop the gloves that this young team needed. Glad to see him come back.

TenRingsSTL 07/06/09

I like resigning Keith Tkachuck. He's just the type of gritty veteran this team needs to keep things together down the stretch.

What I DON'T like is Chicago's offseason thus far. They've pick up a couple of big names (one being Marrian Hossa) that could make it tough on the Blues come next season.

Here's hoping the young guys continue to develop and whoever we decide to stick in between the pipes can put it together for an entire year.

STLguy 07/06/09

The Blues re-signed Tkachuk for another year. I think it's a good move to keep him. He should continue to be a good fit with all the young kids, and he should be very motivated after last year's playoff run.

TenRingsSTL 06/24/09

Berglund makes all rookie team, can't wait for next yr. how about a Blues vs B's cup next yr.

azcardsfan 06/20/09

Good move by the Note to lock up Jay McClement. Good, tough player, good penalty killer and solid in the locker room.

He's a great compliment to some of the younger talent the Blues have. Good to see.

TenRingsSTL 05/29/09

It's true. I remember Doug Weight saying the same thing when we got him. He said it was summer and he was amazed at how much Blues talk there was.

The Blues always had a very loyal core following, but the Hull took it mainstream, and it's really stayed that way since. The cancelled year obviously affected things, but it's back now. I'm pumped about this team for next year.

TenRingsSTL 04/29/09

he tells me even in the summer on talk radio they have plenty of blues talk, even though the Cards get most of love

azcardsfan 04/28/09

That's cool, az. STL has REALLY gotten behind the Blues this year......almost takes me back to the early Hull days when STL was hockey crazy.

TenRingsSTL 04/26/09

Hey Rings, my buddy told me how proud he was of you guys (the fans) how unreal the fans were with their support with this team, he said every game was just about sold out throughout the year, great fans.

azcardsfan 04/26/09

Man, Luongo has been good. Hope we can find a way to get the puck past him in Game #3....... this team has been through a lot, so I don't think they will quit.

TenRingsSTL 04/19/09

Ok. I thought we showed a lot of heart in Game 1. The boys were really getting some quality shots on goal. Luongo was just THAT good.

In the other net, Mason did a pretty good job. On the couple of goals they got, it looked like he was being heavily screened. Can't do much about that.

Can't wait to see the Blues come back out tonight and work their tails off. They gotta get past this first round...the girlfriend bought tickets to the SECOND ROUND! (don't ask...ha)

STLguy 04/17/09

Tough close loss 2-1 in Game#1. Hopefully playing tight the way they did will give the boys some confidence to steal game #2, and go home tied.

TenRingsSTL 04/16/09

Amen, STLGuy. This team is going to benefit greatly from going to the playoffs, even if it is only one round.

If they win today, though, I think they can get the 6th seed and play Vancouver instead of San Jose.

This playoff berth is one of the most gratifying ever for the Blues IMO. Think about it: the Note has gone 26-10-7 in their last 43. That is an awesome clip.

TenRingsSTL 04/12/09

*sigh*

That's all I can manage after the run the Blues had in order to secure a playoff spot for the first time in forever. It doesn't matter if we flame out in the first round against a Detroit or a San Jose. Just getting there will give this young squad the boost and the desire for the years to come.

I heard a report tonight that Kariya was trying to get cleared to participate in our last regular season game against Colorado. I'm not exactly sure how I feel about this move. While I'd love to have a healthy Kariya blazing up and down the ice, I don't know how it's going to affect the chemistry this team has put together in the last month or so. Besides, is Kariya really 100% or does he just taste playoff ice?

In any case, it's good to see the Blues back in a place of respectability. They definitely have my support. And evidentily they have the support of about 2 million other St. Louisans who have suddenly developed "hockey fever". While it's nice to know they'll play in front of a sell out crowd, I can't help to hold a little bit of bitterness against all of those "bandwagoners"...

STLguy 04/12/09

Damn Red Wings.....would it kill them to help us out by beating Nashvile once??

TenRingsSTL 04/10/09

Way to go Blackhawks (Never thought I'd say that).....they beat Nashville 4-2 tonight.....and the Note is up 4-1 in Phoenix. I LIKE IT!

TenRingsSTL 04/07/09

Big game tonight at Phoenix. Got to get the points.

TenRingsSTL 04/07/09

I was scoreboard watching and I saw Columbus ahead of Nashville 3-1....so it really ticked me off when Nashville came back to win.

You're right STLGuy....Mason might be showing fatigue. No time for that though.....we just have to win games now.

TenRingsSTL 04/05/09

*sigh*

Tough loss tonight in Dallas. We still managed to get a point out of it but with Nashville's win...pffttt

Three games to go. Phoenix, Columbus, and Colorado. They're all winnable. I only hope Mason can keep his legs under him. 12 goals in the last three games isn't encouraging. It seems like he might be getting a little worn out.

In any case, GO BLUES!

STLguy 04/05/09

Unreal. Back in that last playoff spot with four to go.

This could actually happen.

TenRingsSTL 04/03/09

Did we just beat DETROIT?! Ha. FINALLY!

I don't know...the Blues sure do know how to keep it interesting. They allowed Detroit to come back and tie it three times, even after jumping out to a two goal lead.

But overall, you've got to like what they came away with.

STLguy 04/03/09

4 wins in a row.....now tied for that 8th spot. Almost blew a two goal lead last night, but then got the extra point in the Shootout.

Got to keep in going on the road.

Patrik Berglund last night became the first Blues rookie to score 20 goals since Jim Campbell in 1997.

TenRingsSTL 03/29/09

SO CLOSE! Of course, we've got a tough road stretch to end the season...but with the way the boys have been playing, we just might be able to snub out Anahiem for that last spot! Here's hoping!

STLguy 03/25/09

Huge win over LA last night.........gotta keep it going, boys.

TenRingsSTL 03/25/09

Man, we just can't beat freaking Detroit. Nice bounceback tonight, though, leading 4-1 after 2 against Minnesota.

If they can hold it, it'll be a HUGE win against a team 2 points ahead of them in the standings.

We could possibly be one point out of the POs after tonight.

TenRingsSTL 03/15/09

Another big win over the Sharks last night. The Note now has 70 points and are 2 points out of the last playoff spot. We have 3 teams to pass, though, so the boys have to keep it going. Next up is another meeting with the Wings. Need some revenge for that pasting the other night.

TenRingsSTL 03/13/09

The Boys looked great last night......huge 5-2 win over Dallas. Brings us to only 3 points out of the last PO spot.

TenRingsSTL 03/11/09

Bernie Miklasz' column Saturday indicated that the Blues interest in Pronger is not over, and that he wouldn't be surprised to see them make a play for him in the off-season.

TenRingsSTL 03/09/09

4 points back, with four teams to pass.

Tough home games this week with Dallas, San Jose and Detroit all coming in.

TenRingsSTL 03/09/09

Sounds thru the rumor mill like JD was asking for too much for Tkachuk in various trade talks. I like Walt, but I would have liked to have seen them grab some younger players for him to continue to build for the future.

TenRingsSTL 03/08/09

Good to see us keep our team together. Here's hoping we can make a push in the final stretch.

STLguy 03/06/09

I don't think I would give up Perron. What is Pronger's contract status, any idea?

TenRingsSTL 03/02/09

GAH!

Evidentily, Anahiem's asking price for Pronger is some sort of deal involving DAVID PERRON. I don't know. I just don't know. I can see how it could work out (especially next year with the return of Kariya). But Perron is really young and really promising. I'd hate for us to trade him years before he reaches his full potential and have to watch him light it up in a Ducks jersey.

STLguy 03/02/09

Seems the Blues are looking into acquiring Chris Pronger. I'd say it would depend a lot on what we'd be giving up. If it wouldn't hurt the future, it could certainly be what puts us over the top.

In any case, I'm glad to see that Blues management is committed to getting this team back to the playoffs. If only as much could be said about the Cards!

STLguy 02/28/09

The Trade Deadline is on March 4th. I don't think the Blues should be buyers, because I wouldn't give up any of our prospects to add a vet and try to get to the playoffs.

I don't think we should be sellers though, since the playoffs are in reach now. I'd say hold onto Tkachuk, McKee and any of the other vets.

Let's stand pat, try to make the playoffs but don't sacrifice the future.

TenRingsSTL 02/26/09

Picked up a point Saturday night, but what a tough OT loss 1-0 to Nashville at home. Mason was great all night, but really let in a soft one to lose the game.

We sit 6 back of the playoffs, still one game below .500.

TenRingsSTL 02/23/09

Tkachuk scored a PP goal the other night, and it tied him for 11th place all time with the Great One for most PP Goals in history.

TenRingsSTL 02/16/09

The Blues have come a long way from 14-21-3. I doubted at that point that they could ever get to .500, but they've gone 9-4-4 in their last 17 games.

It's been nice to see the re-birth, and even better to see the young guys developing so well.

TenRingsSTL 02/14/09

Nice rebound game with a big 1-0 shutout of the Hawks last night. Mason was great again, and the Blues gave a tremendous effort for 60 minutes. 23-25-7 now.....creeping up on the .500 mark, and we've now passed Colorado in the West.

TenRingsSTL 02/14/09

Oh, and Nashville tying the game with 3 seconds left was the real killer.

TenRingsSTL 02/13/09

Gut-wrenching. The Blues blew a 3-1 lead in the 3rd last night. The second straight game they've lost a two goal lead. This time it was in a shootout, so they pick up a point.....but it was an opportunity to get two and leave a team they are trying to catch with zero......but to quote Denny Green, we let 'em off the hook.

TenRingsSTL 02/13/09

The Blues signed Andy McDonald to a 4 year contract extension yesterday.

Personally, I am glad to see this. He brings leadership and speed to the Blues forward lines and he's our top face-off man. He's a leader that we need with this young team, and I'm glad to see us lock him up.

TenRingsSTL 02/11/09

The Blues have assigned Manny Legace to Peoria and recalled goaltender Chris Holt from Peoria.

Looks like Mason is the guy fo rthe forseeable future.

TenRingsSTL 02/11/09

Wasted opportunity last night. The Note lead 2-0 after 1 and then had a 3-1 lead in the second but couldn't hold it. Blues looked great in the first period, but got outworked and out played in the last two periods.

Mason has been hot like crazy lately, but let in a couple of soft ones last night. Such a wasted opp.

Good news is that Andy McDonald returned last night, and his line with Berglund and Oshie was the best line by far. Berglund had 3 assists.

TenRingsSTL 02/11/09

Hey fellas. Sorry for my long absence from the hockey world. Having so much to do with the Army and all this jazz, I have forgotten what is important to our morale.

I know that I have said in the past that I have faith in the Blues, that they can get into the Cup Playoffs. That dream hasn't died. But with recent injuries to Kariya, for example, is a big blow to our chances. But I am still not giving up. I believe we can still make it. It will be a tough climb. Not to steal a line from our Cards board, WE STILL BELIEVE.

redbird1 02/09/09

I agree.......gotta ride the hot goalie while you can!

I think it would also help to get McDonald back in the near future.

TenRingsSTL 02/09/09

I guess these are the times that it's actually good to have a streaky goalie. 137 stops on 141 shots...Mason has been HOT to say the least.

Even though news of Kariya's second hip surgery comes as a bit of a blow, I think this could be a good thing for the Blues in the long run. The young guys are playing really well right now, and I'd hate to see them disrupt that by bringing in a Kariya who's skating on only one good hip.

While we're only 5 points out, and definitely not out of the hunt, the experience guys like Berglund, Oshie, and Perron are getting is definitely going to pay dividends down the road. And with a fully healthy Kariya next year...who knows?

STLguy 02/08/09

I still rather Wideman for us, he is back playing awesome again, goal and assist last night, he now has 12 goals he could get 18-20 for a defenseman, but the big thing is his +/- is still tops in NHL

azcardsfan 02/05/09

I don't think we're out, considering the way we are playing in our last 10 or so.

Legace was horrible Monday. Mason is the guy right now.

Boyes had 3 points and more amazingly was a +3 last night.

Right now, the Blues sit just 6 points out of the last PO spot, but there are 7 teams we have to pass. We have 47 points and three teams have 49, so it's not insurmoutable.

TenRingsSTL 02/04/09

We are learning rings don't count out playoffs what are we 7 points out, whats wrong with Legacy he is killing us, another big win last night, My man Oshie is coming on.

azcardsfan 02/04/09

SO loss at Detroit last night.....but I'll take it. Anytime we can go to Joe Louis and come away with points......I'm happy.

TenRingsSTL 02/03/09

I can understand him feeling that way.

I would think that if you knew you were about to be moved potentially.....it would be very distracting.

TenRingsSTL 02/01/09

Mason,Mason, the kid is playing really good, as for Keith he didn't indicate to me that he is tanking it, but I know he wants to have a cup run, and this he told me before season he pretty much knew he was in a win win because loves playing in Stloo, and knew the Blues were gonna sign him because he knew he would be veteran leadership with young team plus when the time came they would get something in return for him that would be an asset to Blues. but the one thing he told me before season started is he will make it difficult if the Blues don't trade him to a team that has a legit shot at a deep run, and not a team like last time with Atlanta, he wants to go to a elite team, but I haven't spoken to him just text and not even about hockey its about Cardinals remember he has a home in AZ, and played their for years.

azcardsfan 02/01/09

We could use someone like him.......

Give us one of your young D-Men, then.

Mason was great again tonight......shutting out the Flyers.....

Yeah, Keith hasn't been doing much the last few games......is he just coasting waiting on a trade?

TenRingsSTL 01/31/09

hey rings take Rask out of picture we are not trading him He just showed today why every team that talks trade with B's want him he pitched a 35 save shutout against Rangers, the kid is smooth as silk.

azcardsfan 01/31/09

I watched some of it Mason was good, Keith is playing like he is sleepwalking why. also just a little Wideman update he is getting better and better but still sometimes does things that just you wonder what was he thinking, did you know he is 5th is goal scoring for D over last 2 years.

azcardsfan 01/30/09

Brutal loss last night, and just another example of how we just don't know how to win games yet.

First Ottawa goal was a horrid shorthanded goal, after the Blues had 3 or 4 chances to clear the puck.

Second goal was with 2 minutes left in a 1-1 game. The Blues D let Peter Regin skate all the way from his own end, all the way behind the Blues net and back in front untouched to score the game winner. No way they can allow that kind of goal when they are two minutes from a point.

The last goal was an empty netter.

3-1 loss. Chris Mason was great and deserved better.

TenRingsSTL 01/30/09

GO CALGARY FLAMES!

jbfpack ~ BEAST!!! 01/27/09

Something is going on the Bruins called up Rask. maybe they are trading Fernandez. I doubt it though because his contract is about 3.5 mil.

azcardsfan 01/26/09

That one doesn't make sense......he should definitely have been with the 2nd year players group.

TenRingsSTL 01/26/09

Hey I watched that futures game yesterday how the heck was Krejci not invited not he actually belonged with the big boys never mind the futures, as he is in his 2nd season and 21 yrs old.

azcardsfan 01/25/09

They played great last night.....totally dominated the 'Hawks. And Mason was good.

I agree, they keep this up and they could sneak back in. 5-2-1 in our last eight, and you're right, that's two great road wins this week against two very good teams.

TenRingsSTL 01/22/09

Another big win last night it seems like the note is starting to button up defensively, you never know maybe we can sneak in the playoffs, 2 wins over 2 really good teams in a row, but the thing I like about it is we are playing better in our zone, I mean take away the 3 quickies by the B's and thats only 1 goal last 2 games against 2 good teams.

azcardsfan 01/22/09

Oh sorry about that, nah the 2man advantage was justified, Ryder was coming from behind the net and got cross checked of the puck a no brainer, if your annoucers were not so biased they should really understand that anytime any player just uses their stick for anything but going after puck its 2 min, and the refs are very consistant with that from every game I see. and you know what our TV guys are great because every time the B's get a penalty and I say bullcrap to myself, Andy Brickley points out exactly why its a penaltie its awesome the guy is great analyst, he was right on top of that call and said his exact words, I can see the Blues fans be upset about that call, but then went on to explain why it was a penaty, and he does the same to us B's fans.

azcardsfan 01/21/09

BIG win for the Blues on the road at Boston in a Shootout......5-4.

The Blues were up 2-1 in the 3rd... then fell behind 4-2 before tying it late to go to OT. The Blues announcers were saying that the Blues got screwed on a couple of calls to set up Bruin PPs and let them take the lead. AZ.....shed some light on that......you were there....

TenRingsSTL 01/19/09

Roman Polak is out indefinitely with foot fracture. Yet another key injury to the Blues defense. He joins Johnson, Brewer and McKee as D-men that have missed significant time this year.

TenRingsSTL 01/19/09

He is going today. I am here talked to bro. kevin.

azcardsfan 01/19/09

Holiday matinee today with Boston at Noon.

Good test against about the best team in the league.

TenRingsSTL 01/19/09

Tough OT loss to Chicago, but we played well again and at least got a point out of it.

Tkachuk sat out again with his injury.

T

TenRingsSTL 01/18/09

Big one against the hated 'Hawks tonight at home......big crowd.....big win needed.

Tkachuk is supposed to play, too.

TenRingsSTL 01/17/09

I haven't said this a lot this year.....but piss-poor crappy effort last night in the loss to Edmonton.

Disappointing after the Vancouver game.

TenRingsSTL 01/12/09

I didn't get to see the Vancouver game Friday, but yes, it sounds like they played a great game.

Hopefully they can keep it rolling tonight at Edmonton.

TenRingsSTL 01/11/09

Great game the other night in a 6-4 win. We played awesome. I watch when I can and that was the best played game we have had in a while.

KemoSabe- Tiger is back 01/11/09

Go SI staff blogs Fri 9th NHL midseason awards by Alan Muir.

azcardsfan 01/11/09

Yea they are gonna ask for a lot I don't think the B's are gonna give say Rask & Stuart because both those guys are definate NHL ready and can contribute its more likely 1 and a unpolished youngster or it might be Axelson with 1 of the NHL ready studs. but they are not gonna give you guys 2 studs so if Davivson is smart do not hold us hostage because we will go elsewhere and you will lose out on a good young defenseman.

azcardsfan 01/11/09

Patrik Berglund was named to the YoungStars game. Good to see him get some exposure. No one says much about him when they talk about the top rookies, probably because of the Blues record.

TenRingsSTL 01/10/09

What exactly do you think the Blues are asking for....Rask and Stuart?

That was a big win on the road against Vancouver......very encouraging.....

TenRingsSTL 01/10/09

Hey big win against a good Canuck team last night.

azcardsfan 01/10/09

Rask is a stud Toivo was scap heap, but the defenseman is what you guys want to get isn't it funny how things change, you gave us a defenseman for a forward, now 2yrs later we are gonna give you a defenseman for a forward. anyway if we give you what I think it is thats to much on our part go look at the outlook for Rask plus either Stuart or Hunwick who are both on big league roster contributing right now to much and i love Keith and Chantel and the kids but you guys got to be realistic it would have been done already but you guys are asking to much.

azcardsfan 01/10/09

I don't know about getting Rask from the Bruins. The last goalie we got from Boston was Hannu Toivenen......and that didn't work out too well.

TenRingsSTL 01/09/09

Just like the wideman trade they knew they were giving up a good young scorer, but needed a puck moving defenseman. now we need a PP guy and some more grit for playoff run.

azcardsfan 01/09/09

Now the B's are desperate it was just announced Sturm is out for year. he was our left winger on PP. we have been using Axelson who is not a scorer because we needed a left hander hum.... this thing is gonna happen sooner than later. you are gonna steal a lot from us as we are going for broke with Keith.

azcardsfan 01/09/09

I think the Blues know their future is 2010 or 2011, so I think they'll try to get younger. That means to me that any of the veterans are possible trade bait......Brewer, McKee, Tkachuk....even Legace if they could find a taker.

TenRingsSTL 01/09/09

Who are the Blues looking to move this trade deadline???

STLguy 01/09/09

Yeah, Mellanby was awesome.......I loved that guy when he played. Very interesting.......the Blues could use another young goalie to compete with Bishop......because I think Legace is on his way out of STL.

I think it sucks that Wideman isn't an all-star.........

TenRingsSTL 01/09/09

Yea Widey got robbed for allstar team leads NHL in +/- and 4th in scoring for defenseman plus 5th in ice time and didn't even get a sniff of team nor did Kessel who is 4th in NHL in goals, or Krechi who has 44pts in his last 24 games. NOT THAT YOU CARE. but your the only puckhead I know. by the way does Scott Mellanby ring a bell to you.he is a scout for the Blues he was at the bruins farm team in Providence scouting Tukka Rask big time young goalie (please don't trade him Boston) its going down soon. we are getting killed with injuries.

azcardsfan 01/09/09

Ah, they've had a few days off and don't play until tomorrow.....not a lot of new stuff to write about.....

TenRingsSTL 01/09/09

Whats up no updates rings.

azcardsfan 01/08/09

Paul Kariya is going to have surgery on his hip and could miss the rest of the season.

I was hoping to get him back and maybe help the Blues make a late playoff push......but at least this way the kids will get more ice time.

TenRingsSTL 01/05/09

Yeah, I'm watching it. Pretty good game so far. 'Hawks have had a couple of defensive breakdowns in the 2nd.

Thanks for the Wideman updates....

TenRingsSTL 01/01/09

Weekly Wideman update: 5th in NHL scoring for defenseman, 1st in plus minus with a plus 25.

azcardsfan 01/01/09

Are you gonna watch the NHL classic today kinda looking forward to it.

azcardsfan 01/01/09

They are gonna be fine the work their arse off and hit like animals, plus the trade is going down soon, as Ference will be back soon and you are gonna get a solid young defenseman, and something else what I don't know I hope its not our young goalie Rask, it originally was Hunwick but the B's are not parting with him it probably is Mark Stuart and another young defenseman in minors as we will only have Keith for half a year hopefully a cup run.

azcardsfan 12/31/08

Tough loss last night to the Ducks. Man, they played hard again and caught some bad breaks, but the effort was there again. I was hoping they could at least get another point out of that one.

Mason is pretty inconsistent in goal....looks great sometimes and lousy others. If we continue to be out of the playoff picture as Jan and Feb progress, I wouldn't mind seeing Bishop brought back and given some starts in goal.

TenRingsSTL 12/29/08

Great win, told you they are fun and exciting to watch wish I could catch more Blues games, already can't wait til next yr. if they can squeak in the playoffs it will be a great exp. for the young guys thats what springboarded Kessel, Krechi, and Lucic this season. even though they lost in the 1st round last yr it gave them confidence that they belonged.

azcardsfan 12/28/08

Great win for the Note tonight, beating the league's best team, San Jose. The Blues completely outworked and outplayed the Sharks......and got some great goals from Perron and Winchester.

Manny gave SJ a gift with their second goal, but other than that was solid and came up strong in the Shootout.

Hopefully, beating San Jose will be a confidence booster for this team.

TenRingsSTL 12/27/08

Worthy they will be very good specially with the cap take off Keiths salary and some other ones and add some minor pieces and bingo. they got the hard thing down pat hard work, Toronto is on the same boat like you guys.

azcardsfan 12/26/08

I agree. Even though the Blues are going to come up short, most likely, of the POs this year.......I love what JD has done with the team and I love the work ethic. Take all the young kids they have getting experience now and add Johnson and Pietrangelo to that next year.....I'll be highly surprised and disappointed if we don't have a worthy playoff team in the next 2 years.

TenRingsSTL 12/25/08

I watched a little of Blues game last night on NHL network again they lost but man do they really work hard, if these young guys keep up that work ethic they will be so good, I keep telling you they remind me of us last yr. Geez if only you hero Whiz could get out of his players what the Blues coach gets out of his. maybe we would have won 11 games. i am sorry I vent on you about whiz but you seem like a reasonable guy and shield just don't see it. the coaching staff sucks on this Cards team.

azcardsfan 12/24/08

I agree.....the Blues effort has been there all year. That's part of why I'm excited for the future. There is a lot of young talent, and they work and will only get better. Boston has a great team.

TenRingsSTL 12/23/08

I didn't see the game live but watched the replay last night, I was impressed how hard the Blues work, but do not get mad at me but the B's played terrible and still won by 3 goals, also the Blues were the hardest team I've seen that gave the B's trouble getting the puck out of their end, which is the B's strong point as their defense has been so great moving the puck but you guys really took it to us, but we still won easy thats how talented this group is here in Boston its only a matter of time before people start noticeing.

azcardsfan 12/22/08

More bad news on the injury front, as Jay McKee is now out of the lineup indefinitely with a broken finger. McKee is a solid, character guy, but man, he has just not been able to stay healthy in STL.

TenRingsSTL 12/18/08

The way the Note is playing, I doubt the B's have much to worry about.

TenRingsSTL 12/18/08

Rings you get to see your buddy Wideman sunday, you guys should have a huge advantage as we play 3 games in 4 nights Thurs, Sat, and you guys Sun all on road. we will really see what the B's are made of.

azcardsfan 12/16/08

Brutal trip to California....hope things get better back at home. I think the injuries are starting to catch up with us, and losing Legace to a concussion doesn't help.

TenRingsSTL 12/15/08

Horrible effort in LA on Thursday night, after a decent showing against the Ducks.

Looks like they have rebounded well tonight, being up 3-1 in the second at San Jose. Nice to see a follow up good effort to that debacle on Thursday.

TenRingsSTL 12/14/08

redbird......glad to hear you're coming home early. Congrats.

This Blues team is going to compete for a PO spot.....they play hard and they are winning without 3 of their top forwards.

TenRingsSTL 12/09/08

I have been keeping up as much as I can with the Blues even though there is not much hockey on tv out here in paradise. Even though the Blues are in last place, I am still keeping my reservation about them for the Cup playoffs. I should be home sometime in early January to catch the All Star game! Thank goodness!

redbird1 12/08/08

Get ready for the B's coming in to your place in a couple of weeks, would love to come out but am going to see Cards play the Pats, I will talk to lard arse betcha he starts trouble during that one knowing he is coming here to play before season ends.

azcardsfan 12/08/08

The more I watch him play, the more I am convinced that Patrik Berglund is going to be a huge star in this league. 16 points in 20 games, and he is plus 11. And......he's only 20 years old. Beyond that, he just seems to have a presence on the ice. I think he is going to be special as he progresses.

TenRingsSTL 12/08/08

Tough OT loss Friday, after taking a 3-1 lead into the 3rd against Calgary. At least we got a point, but we need to finish games like that. Nice to see them bounce back last night with a W over Phoenix, to pull us back to .500.

Still can get 5 points out of this 3 game home stand with a win tomorrow against Nashville.

TenRingsSTL 12/07/08

All right, 3 home games in the next 4 nights. The Note needs to use this opportunity to get some points. I'd love to see 4-5 points out of the next four days.

TenRingsSTL 12/05/08

Honestly Rings and I really mean it no. I wouldn't trade Wideman for most players in NHL right now, I promise you he will start getting his due around league as this team starts getting noticed listen he is miles better than Chara right now, but when they talk about B's defenseman its always Chara, just look at the plus minus, Wideman played a team high 30 mins Sat night against Det, thats half the game. I'll trade you Chara for Boyes

azcardsfan 12/01/08

Blues break the tie on a GW 3rd period goal from Brad Boyes. That is his 12th....and the Note gets an empty net goal to win 4-2.

Hey az. That is 55 goals from Boyes this year and last. Don't you wish the Bruins had him??

TenRingsSTL 11/30/08

The Blues are currently in the 3rd period at Atlanta, tied at 2.

Of note: the Blues second goal was scored by Keith Tkachuk, which was also point number 1,000 for his career.

TenRingsSTL 11/30/08

Disappointing home loss to Edmonton yesterday, especially after being up 2-0. Legace was in goal for the second straight game after Mason's stellar game against Nashville on Tuesday. I know Manny is the #1, but it seems like you'd go with the hot hand the last couple of games, and Mason has been better than Manny lately. Play the hot hand, Andy.

TenRingsSTL 11/30/08

az....I know he's good. I think it will turn out to be a good trade both ways in the long run. When Wideman was in STL, his shot was very impressive. He came in right as MacInnis retired, so I saw him as the heir apparent to QB the powerplay when Al retired.

TenRingsSTL 11/30/08

Rings I promise you I will not bring it up anymore, but If you watch Wideman every game I swear to god you would want to take that trade back, he is so god dam good an so kool with the puck in his own end and know what else he has a nasty shot. I know boyes iis a sniper but Wideman is just playing with so much confidence he is their leader back there not Chara

azcardsfan 11/29/08

Yeah, I think the Blues real step up will probably be next year. We'd probably be scoring more goals if we didn't have Kariya, McDonald, Berglund all out......but lately the goaltending has been great and the penalty kill has been stellar..... JD has built this team the right way, and it's going to pay dividends over the next 2-3 years.

TenRingsSTL 11/27/08

The Blues are starting to remind me of the B's last year, they were horrible defensively, then they shored up D and couldn't score goals, plus have a ton of young talent, so its good teach the young players defense 1st and they get the hard part out of way and next yr. they score like crazy look at B's young guns, they all play great d but transition great from D to O

azcardsfan 11/27/08

Blues lose at Colorado tonight, 3-1.

Tkachuk got the only goal, his tenth.....and he now has 998 career points.

TenRingsSTL 11/27/08

Another tough win on the road tonight......great to see Mason get a W.

That's 3-0-1 in the last four......and we're back to the .500 mark. Let's keep it going, Note.

TenRingsSTL 11/22/08

I heard Andy Murray's open-line show last night, and he said Oshie isn't even close to coming back. Probably several more weeks from the way it sounded.

TenRingsSTL 11/20/08

Hey guy lets try to fresh the place up with some post! Even if you think i wrong love to hear what you think.

MeanGreenKiller 11/17/08

Hey tried to call him but fat boy didn't get back to me, but did he do Ok in his little fight, I bet he did something cheap though and also took a stupid penaltie he is famous for that when you get under his skin.

azcardsfan 11/17/08

It's great to get a point last night against Montrea, but it could have been two. I didn't like the way we got outworked in the 3rd period. Montreal was the team that played Saturday night and then traveled......they should have been the tired team.

I do think losing Andy McDonald disrupted the team a bit. The line combos changed, and the Note seemed to struggle.

Now McDonald is out indefinitely, which is a much bigger loss than not getting the extra point. Kariya, Oshie, McDonald out......it's rough going right now.

TenRingsSTL 11/17/08

Okay....gotta keep it rolling today against the Canadiens...need to put together a winning streak...

TenRingsSTL 11/16/08

Pick the Rams to lose......

Hey, Tkachuk got in a fight last night.... great game.....four fights and a lot of feistiness. Just the way a Blues-Hawks game should be.

Andy McDonald is REALLY playing well right now.

TenRingsSTL 11/15/08

Good call rings, I am gonna have to get you to give me some winners Sunday my bookie is kicking my butt.

azcardsfan 11/15/08

I can feel it - we're gonna beat the 'hawks tonight. Remember - you heard it here first.....

TenRingsSTL 11/14/08

Yeah....I didn't see it but it sounds like Legace is maybe just not ready to be back yet.

Berglund scored again......I think he is going to be a complete stud as progresses.

TenRingsSTL 11/13/08

I don't think fat boy has 40 in him, Boyes will though.

azcardsfan 11/13/08

Nice comeback by your Blues last night Rings but fell short, you guys got to tighten up the D though, just a little note, your boy Wideman was #1 star last night against the Hawks and didn't even get a point, just saying in another year your gonna say wow and we had him.

azcardsfan 11/13/08

I agree I am just saying that even in Boston everybody said b's got screwed but what they didn't realize was how good Wideman is now they are finally seeing the light laugh kid but he is gonna be in the Norris talk this year

azcardsfan 11/11/08

5 game winless streak. Hopefully we can turn it around at Buffalo on Wednesday. We need to get Manny back in a groove after his layoff....and get back to playing like we did the first 5 or 6 games.

TenRingsSTL 11/10/08

Wideman is solid, but it's still not a bad trade for the Blues.......40 goal scorers like Boyes don't grow on trees.

TenRingsSTL 11/10/08

Not only does wideman lead the B's in plus / minus he also leads the Blues in it

azcardsfan 11/10/08

Guys I am a Blues fan to, I am always a fan of whatever team Keith plays for, by the way Wideman scored again last night thats 4 goals already not bad for a defenseman, plus he is their best defensive defenseman right now playing way better than Chara

azcardsfan 11/09/08

MGK - I was just able to post.....so try it again.....

TenRingsSTL 11/07/08

MGK - The group message boards were broken for a couple of days, but I thought it was fixed, because I was able to post a new message to a different group board last night.

Oh, and az is a B's fan, that's why he's giving us grief. I'd still trade Wideman for a 40 goal scorer anyday

TenRingsSTL 11/07/08

why cant i post anything thing on the message board? and don't hate for trading wideman. we got boyes.

MeanGreenKiller 11/07/08

Wideman with a goal and a helper last night, why can't the Blues get guys like that

azcardsfan 11/07/08

Great effort tonight, even though the Note lost the SO to the Sharks. I thought the Blues played as hard tonight as they have all year. Bishop was good except for the weak second goal.

Huge mistake on the tying fourth goal, when Boyes and McKee had a chance to clear the puck, but couldn't get the puck out.

At least we got a point. Great effort...and we are hanging in there without Kariya, Legace and Oshie.

TenRingsSTL 11/07/08

I agree MeanGreen. I'm excited about the Kids. I thought Berglund looked pretty tentative his first 5 or 6 games, but he has come on. Oshie I am impressed with and Pietrangelo I think looks great for an 18 year old. He and Johnson the next few years are going to be a great blueline combo.

TenRingsSTL 11/07/08

Did you see the kids of the blues getting done or what? Patrik Berglund sweet goal with a nice steal. David Perron getting done like always. Alex Pietrangelo making it happen on that blue line, he still got a little work, but he did far better than i thought he was going to do. And i think Ben Bishop should have started hope he does tonight.

Other the other player i would like to call out is Roman Polak he has been with the river men and come up a few times, and i never thought he was any good and when i saw that he was on the roster this year i was disappointed. But he quickly changed my mine,and i think last night was the best game he played yet. I know hes not an offensive power house but his defensive play and passing out of our zone was great. He looked good.

What do you all think?

MeanGreenKiller 11/06/08

They were physical, but not bad. Avery was pretty quiet in that game.....the Blues won like 6-1, and were in command.

Avery is a jerk.....

TenRingsSTL 11/04/08

Did you watch the game were they dirty and physical.

azcardsfan 11/04/08

Yeah, I'm a huge Blues fan....long time, long suffering......kind of like my football team.

Yeah, we beat Dallas at home like a week ago or so....one of our better games, actually.

TenRingsSTL 11/03/08

Wow your a huge Blues fan huh, thats awesome I promise I am coming out there and you will get to meet some guys I know we are grown men so its not like we are little kids and get all excited but they really do appreciate the normal loyal fan, by the way the B's had an awesome game Sat night with Dallas. have you played them yet are they in your div. if so be prepared they are dirty and cheap the b's kicked their arse with their fists as well as in the scoreboard. Avery and Ott were throwing elbows and everything else around.

azcardsfan 11/03/08

Big game tonight, need a win to make it a winning homestand.

Let's Go Blues!

TenRingsSTL 11/01/08

Too much of a difference in penalties tonight, as well. The Blues didn't work hard enough in their own zone to draw penalties from Carolina......that was a disappointment tonight.

TenRingsSTL 10/30/08

Difficult loss tonight. The Blues played well.....Mason played well, just allowing the one PP goal.

Looked like there was bad ice tonight, as we just couldn't get a flow going offensively, and couldn't seem to get the puck to stop bouncing. We really need a point or two against the Penquins on Saturday now, to make this 7 game homestand successful.

TenRingsSTL 10/30/08

Yeah, Adam signed a contract after his first monster year, then some other guys got more money so he wanted to renogiate, but Blues management said no, so Adam didn't show up for practice one day and just held out.

We eventually traded him to Boston for Janney and Stephan Quintal

TenRingsSTL 10/29/08

Did we get Oates from you guys, the bruins were the masters of stealing people back in the day, we got Cam Neely for Barry Pederson, we traded Ron Graham to the LA kings and got their #1pick and turned it into Ray Bourque and got Brad Mcrimmon with our own pick then traded him to Philly for Pete Peeters in his prime. we got this awesome defenseman named Dennis wideman for this guy Brad Boyes from Stloo. whats up rings check out our pool I totaled all the points up from every week and ranked them

azcardsfan 10/29/08

It's all right, az.....we'll still take Boyes, thanks.

Besides, didn't we give you enough when we handed over Adam Oates?

TenRingsSTL 10/29/08

Wideman in OT for the B's last night in Edmonton, big win thanks Stloo

azcardsfan 10/28/08

After this weekend's games, Tkachuk is only 7 points away from 1,000 for his career.

TenRingsSTL 10/27/08

Nice to see the Blues rebound last night after the debacle on Friday night. Great to see Bishop play so well in goal in his first start......but we have to stop getting goalies injured. That's 3 that are out in just eight games.

TenRingsSTL 10/26/08

He's off to a great start......but yeah, fan mail me the stories.....

TenRingsSTL 10/26/08

Another one last night for fat boy, plus he had a helper to. tied for lead in league in goals.

azcardsfan 10/26/08

Do you know how good Keith was when he was younger remember the World Cup when they won gold he was thie leader on that team, he also was one of the toughest guys in the league. I got some good stories for you, I will mail them as i do not want everybody to see.

azcardsfan 10/24/08

Yeah, I liked Wideman in STL....he can really shoot the puck. Glad to see him doing well in Boston. I guess that's one of those that worked out well for both teams, because Boyes has been a stud for the Blues

TenRingsSTL 10/23/08

You know something I would still make that trade today with Wideman for Boyes Wideman is an excellent defenseman and is our puck carrying defenseman, he also can put the puck in the net, 13 goals last yr. we reuped him this year for good money

azcardsfan 10/23/08

DJ King will now miss the rest of the season following his upcoming shoulder surgery.

Takes a bit of our toughness with him...

TenRingsSTL 10/23/08

Tough loss tonight to Detroit. Blues didn't play badly for two periods but got out-skated. They again showed resiliency, coming back from 3-0 down to make it 3-2. Horrible break when David Backes broke his stick in the Blues zone, leading to the fourth, and ultimately winning goal to make it 4-2.

Still, the boys fought back to 4-3, and then Oshie just missed tying it in the last minute. Tough loss, but good effort against the Champs.

TenRingsSTL 10/23/08

Well, redbird, what you've missed seeing is the Blues playing pretty well. Though it's only 5 games, the special teams have been great, and there seems to be a greater energy than last year. I'm very optimistic at this point.

TenRingsSTL 10/21/08

UGH! The only thing about AFN out here in Iraq is that I can't watch the Blues :(( But I know with you guys, Ten and 51 giving commentary, which I thoroughly enjoy, it helps out alot. I hope to catch a game or three when I'm on leave (preferably the Blues of course!)

Again, I hope you guys agree. I am not and will not give up hope for the Blues. Even if they are mathmatically elimated during the final stretch of the regular season, they are still our boys and I see STL hoisting the Cup.

redbird1 10/20/08

Other Blues injuries:

Lee Stempniak is expected to play Wednesday against the Wings.....Patrik Berglund is day to day after missing Saturday's game against Chicago, and DJ King may need shoulder surgery, which could keep him out for up to 3 months.

TenRingsSTL 10/20/08

Chris Mason will be out for up to two weeks, following an emergency appendectomy on Friday. The Blues have recalled Ben Bishop from Peoria to back up Legace in the interim.

TenRingsSTL 10/20/08

Great comeback from 3-1 down in the 3rd to beat Chicago! This team is showing much more resiliency than last year.....when they rarely came from behind.

2 for 2 on the 7 game home stand..... very nice.

TenRingsSTL 10/19/08

AWESOME performance tonight! Complete effort from everyone...this team seems to have a lot of energy right now. Got a couple more PP goals, and Legace was great tonight.

Turco wasn't sharp, so the Blues caught a break there, but they badly outworked Dallas tonight. It was a fun, fun game to watch.

TenRingsSTL 10/17/08

You're right, 51. Great game in the opener. Lots of energy....and yeah.....what's up with our PP actually working?? It looked better and more in sync that at any time last year.

I didn't see tonight's loss, but it's good to see the vets Tkachuk and Boyes getting goals early for us.

TenRingsSTL 10/12/08

GREAT game last night, two goals by Tkatchuk are great to see, and then a PP goal by Boyes.

Since when do we score on the PP let alone 5 goals!?

Retire 51 10/11/08

Okay, it's opening day for the Note, and I'm going to go on record right now. I've read a lot of negatives about how bad the Blues are gonna be, and how'll they be in the bottom 3 in the West.

I just don't see it. I think we'll be a surprise team and at least contend for a playoff berth. The young talent has to come through, and it will definitely hurt to not have Johnson, but I just have the feeling the Blues won't be as bad as everyone thinks they will be.

TenRingsSTL 10/10/08

Two days until the season opener!!!!

LET'S GO BLUES!

TenRingsSTL 10/08/08

The Blues beat the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight at Scottstrade 7-3. Lee Stempniak had 2 goals and TJ Oshie netted his first preseason goal. David Perron scored a late PP goal, but the Blues were just 1-7 on the power play tonight.

Chris Mason played the entire game in goal, allowing 3 goals on 24 shots.

The Note is now 3-2-1 on the preseason.

TenRingsSTL 10/01/08

The Blues lost in an overtime shootout tonight in Toronto, 4-3. Brad Boyes, David Backes and Andy MacDonald had the Blues goals. Manny Legace played the entire game in net....surrendering 3 goals on 30 shots.

The Blues are now 2-2 with one SO loss. They next play against Toronto again, but this time in St Louis on Wednesday night.

TenRingsSTL 09/29/08

The Blues had an offensive explosion on Friday night, beating Atlanta 9-4. David Perron scored 3 goals, and Andy MacDonald contributed 5 assists. Legace gave up 3 goals on 15 shots.

They followed that up on Saturday with a 4-3 loss in Dallas, as Perron added another goal. The Blues scored 2 power play goals in each game, a good sign after having the league's worst PP last year.

The Blues are now 2-2 on the preseason, and next play Monday night in Toronto.

TenRingsSTL 09/28/08

I'd hate to see something like this happen to such a gifted player. Erik is on my fantasy hockey team, which I'm thrilled about, but also devastated that he's down.

Alex Pietrangelo continues to impress me. I think he just may secure himself a roster spot and in turn, fill that void left my Erik's injury.

I don't think the franchise is cursed. Just a case of bad luck. But I am still holding my head high for him.

redbird1 09/24/08

In possibly the worst news the Blues could get.....star defenseman Erik Johnson is out with a knee injury. John Davidson announced today that Johnson has a torn ACL and also a tear in his MCL.

This is obviously a huge blow to the Blues to lose Johnson for an extended period of time.

Incredibly, reports are that the injury is the result of a freak accident that happened in a golf cart, as Johnson apparently got his leg stuck under the accelerator, which led to the injury.

Incredible that this has happened. To hear of a critical injury like this happening in a golf cart?? Un-freaking-believable. Maybe this franchise really is cursed......

TenRingsSTL 09/23/08

The Blues won their second pre-season game tonight, beating Dallas 3-2. Manny Legace played the first half of the game, allowing 1 goal on 8 shots.

Andy MacDonald, Brad Boyes and Lee Stempniak each had a goal and assist. 2008 Top pick Alex Pietrangelo had a couple of assists, which is a good sign, his chances of making the team out of camp went way up with the news today of Erik Johnson's injury.

The Blues next play Friday at home against Atlanta.

TenRingsSTL 09/23/08

Even though the Blues lost last nite, I am still jazzed by their play. It seems that they have a "Never Say Die" attitude and that's what I like.

I am holding my aspirations high for the Blues this season. GO BLUES!

redbird1 09/23/08

The Blues lost their pre-season opener tonight to the Kings 2-1. The Game was played in Kansas City. Paul Kariya had the only goal. Chris Mason and Marek Schwarz split duty in net, each giving up one goal.

The game was the preseason debut for both Patrik Berglund and TJ Oshie for the Blues.

The Blues next game is Tuesday night against Dallas at Scottstrade.

TenRingsSTL 09/23/08

Erik Johnson will miss the first 3 days of training camp with a "non-hockey related knee problem". Not sure what that means, but it is not a good way to start camp. He will be re-evaluated this weekend and a determination on his status will be made prior to Tuesday's pre-season opener.

TenRingsSTL 09/19/08

They hold camp at St Louis Mills, where they built an ice arena a few years back. It is in Hazelwood, I believe.....on the north side of STL.

TenRingsSTL 09/18/08

Cool Beans! Say, here does the Blues hold training camp? Would like to take a gander one day.

redbird1 09/18/08

Training Camp opens tomorrow!!!!!

TenRingsSTL 09/18/08

Hey Ten and to all.

TenRingsSTL has invited me to the Blues Fan page for a few reasons, ones that he knows why, but I would like to tell you those reasons:

1. I'll be relocating from virginia to missouri within the next 8 months, looking to be in missouri by the All-Star Break next July.

2. While I am ashamed to say I was a Ducks fan for many years, I am ashamed at their style of play the last few years, including their Cup win. I am no longer affilated with the Ducks in anyway.

Since I'm moving to Missouri, there are several teams that I have been following, the Cardinals in particular, for quite some time. I have always respected the ST Louis Blues and their style of play. Rest assured, I will bleed Blue.

Please forgive my ignorance as I learn the players and the coaching staff as I am coming from a division rival.

I look forward to many a discussions about the team as I becomed a seasoned Blues fan.

redbird1 09/13/08

The Blues have signed Alex Pietrangelo, the defenseman who was their first pick in the draft....

TenRingsSTL 09/06/08

I am gonna go. See ya later

PackersLP21 07/17/08

I was sorry to see Ryan Johnson sign with Vancouver. I think he'll be missed on faceoffs and especially on the penalty kill.

TenRingsSTL 07/03/08

Great group for all St. Louis sports fans. "St. Louis Die Hards". Check it out and JOIN!

http://www.fannation.com/groups/show/37266

my time has come 04/15/08

Another tough loss at home to Phoenix..... we're running out of time to get points, so I think the POs are gonna be tough at this point.

TenRingsSTL 02/29/08

Yeah the loss to Phoenix was tough and then giving up 3 in the 3rd to Dallas was rough. I agree that they are going in the right direction, and I like moving Backman for picks. I think they could still pull out the playoffs, but they've got to win these upcoming homegames starting tonight.

TenRingsSTL 02/28/08

Yeah...the Blues are out of it. It was a step in the right direction though, and I hope these moves by organization help.

RHATER is Gone. 02/27/08

in all seriousness though... it was a tough loss.

my time has come 02/25/08

that was a tough loss last night. we were looking really good but just couldnt put it in..... thats what she said!

my time has come 02/25/08

I agree with you.....this has been a nice week, winning at Denver and then smashing Columbus and Chicago. They need to keep getting the points and get back in the top 8. I think they can do it, especially if Legace keeps playing like he is playing.

I think we have a chance of making the playoffs. We're one pont out...

I'm psyched for this hockey season...... what does anyone think of the Blues Goaltending situation. I like Legace, but I am hoping that Toivenen gets a chance to play at some point this year......I think they could have gotten a steal there.....
