As 2016 comes to a close, the halfway point of the season is reached as well. The St. Louis Blues have had a successful season so far, currently holding sole possession of third place in the Central Division. While they can be content with their place in the league at the moment, there are a […]

The Central Division is one of the most talented and difficult in hockey. It has some of the most successful teams from the last decade or so, while also featuring incredible speed and grit. The St. Louis Blues currently sit second in division standings with 34 points and a 15-7-4 record. That is only good […]

Home-ice advantage is something rarely talked about in November because it is mainly a postseason term. However, the St. Louis Blues have made it relevant with their play of late at Scottrade Center. The team has points in each of their last 10 match-ups at their home arena and have no desire to see that […]

Earlier this month the St. Louis Blues debuted their sweaters for the 2017 Winter Classic. They’ll be hosting the Central Division rival Chicago Blackhawks at Busch Stadium on Jan. 2.

During the offseason, the St. Louis Blues lost former captain David Backes to free agency. That prompted a new era of leadership in the Gateway City as they gave the honor to Alex Pietrangelo.

Last night the St. Louis Blues needed to beat the San Jose Sharks to force their series to seven games. That, however, didn’t happen and the loss spelled the end of the 2015-16 season for the Blues.

The St. Louis Blues will host the seventh and final match-up of Rd. 1 tonight against the Chicago Blackhawks.

The St. Louis Blues have taken a 2-1 series advantage after winning in Chicago yesterday afternoon, 3-2.

The NHL is nearing the end of its regular season, often titled the “final stretch.” These games are the only thing separating teams from their playoff dreams or an unfortunately long offseason.

Longtime NHL forward Brenden Morrow announced his retirement today at an event in Dallas, where he played 13 of his 16 seasons in the league. During that time he served as Dallas Stars captain, went to the Stanley Cup Finals twice and won Olympic Gold with team Canada in 2010. While his achievements speak for themselves, […]

The 2015-16 season has been an interesting one for the St. Louis Blues, to say the least.

While they aren’t where they’ll want to be […]

The 2016 trade deadline has come and gone and the St. Louis Blues have remained unchanged. While general manager Doug Armstrong electing not to move any pieces may seem like a good thing in some ways, it could also be a sign of confusion. The Good Teams generally fall into one of two categories come […]

The Central Division’s second place Dallas Stars and the third place St. Louis Blues have a number of differences in their respective styles of play. Dallas’ focus is on speed and skill with the majority of their strength found at the forward position, while the Blues are a physical team that tends to rely more […]

The NHL introduced a new format for games that go past the sixty minutes of regulation time: five minutes of three-on-three overtime.

Last night the NHL honored the 2015 Hockey Hall of Fame Inductees. Among them was former St. Louis Blues defender Chris Pronger. In his eighteen season NHL career Pronger amassed 698 points (157G, 541A) in 1167 games for five different organizations.

The Blues have started the new season on a good note, currently (8-3-1) through their first dozen games, finishing October with an (8-3-0) record.
