A Small Step in the Right Direction for the Blues | Blues vs. Bolts Gameday
That’s One Kudos to the St. Louis Blues. Though they played a fairly sloppy game at times with the Edmonton Oilers they displayed the most resiliency they have in a month.

Oshie’s Return Sparks 2-1 Win Over LA | McDonald Skates | Trade Rumor Variables
What A Difference An Oshie Makes There is no “I” in “Team”, but there is a “me”. Meaning it takes individuals knowing their job and executing plays within their role. Not taking on the opponent like a counter productive one man show. Last night’s 2-1 St. Louis Blues victory over the Los Angeles Kings is [...]
Blues Back to Back Recap + Bluenotes
Just like night and day, the St. Louis Blues performances against the Anaheim Ducks and LA Kings were very different. The 7-4 loss to the Ducks was a perpetuation of the same trends miring the Blues below the waterline. Great stretches of play where little playing was to be found. Far too many passengers on [...]
Blues Blow Another One | Big Test Coming in California | Bluenotes: McRae & Wellwood
Two Breakdowns Do Blues In In the St. Louis Blues 4-3 loss to the Phoenix Coyotes it was two lapses in play that tore away two points in a key match-up for playoff positioning. After a fairly well played opening 20 minutes the Blues came out lame yet again. The Yotes pushed the pace and [...]
St. Louis Blues and Buffalo Sabres Talking Trade?
Take it with a gain of salt, but NHL rumor peddler extraordinaire Eklund made mention of trade discussions between the St. Louis Blues and Buffalo Sabres. Is there any truth to the assertion?

Injuries Finally Caught Up With The Blues
The last time the Blues dressed a healthy line up was October 23rd. In a 1-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins Roman Polak would fall victim to Sidney Crosby’s skate. Slicing his wrist and severing a tendon. The initial prognosis was a few days rest. That turned in to surgery and a, eight week shelving. Then the bottom falls out.

Blues Win 3-0 in Nashville + Tootoo Hit Thoughts
A second trip to Nashville meant an opportunity for a little payback.
