As I like to call it … “5 Minutes For Scribing.” Happiness: A 3-2 overtime win over visiting San Jose to lift the Blues’ season record to 10-5-2. Your Note is 3-1 in the last four games, and 3-1-1 in the last five. The Blues are in a cluster of teams with 22...
BERNIE BITS It will be a nice change of pace when the Blues say goodbye and good luck to the Arizona Coyotes and face off against a different opponent. I mean, even in the strange times we’re living in, it’s weird to play the same team seven straight times. But I’m...
Today’s Blues Review is a quick-and-easy exercise in stating the obvious. I can do it seven words: stay out of the damn penalty box. When playing at even strength this season the Blues have outscored opponents by 13 goals. Their 37 even-ice goals are tied for most...

THE BLUES REVIEW: The Outcome: It wasn’t easy, but the Blues pulled out a 5-4 shootout win at Vegas on Tuesday night, picking up two points and improving to 4-2-1 on the season. For at least the next 24 hours or so, the Chicken Littles will stop cackling and pacing...
BERNIE BITS 1–The Blues are at Vegas, and say hello to Alex Pietrangelo. As Las Vegas reunions go, this isn’t exactly Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis, and yeah I used an ancient entertainment reference because I can, and I like it. The longtime Blues captain is...
