The Blues are hockey historians. The boys went into Minnesota on Monday evening and brought 2019 with them, blanking the Wild 4-0 in Game 1 of the first-round Stanley Cup playoff series. The four goals were scored by David Perron (3) and Ryan O’Reilly (1) – two key...
Seven opportunistic gentlemen employed by the Blues have scored 20 or more goals this season, and the list could grow to nine by the end of the regular season. Impressive. The Greatest Show on Tundra. These 2021-2022 Blues are more Brett Hull than Frank J. Selke....
All hail David Perron. His empty-net goal put a lid on the Blues’ impressive 5-2 win at Washington on Wednesday night. He’s blazing, having scored a goal in seven consecutive games. Perron has the most goals (13) in the NHL since Feb. 27, scoring on an absurd 27.7...

Halfway through their regular-season schedule, the Blues are 23-11-5 for a .671 points percentage that ranks ninth overall and third in the Western Conference. As I review at midterm, there are no credible complaints on file. How can anyone be disappointed in what the...
In staying with the Beach Boy Theme, the Blues are existing in a mythical, fantasy-island kind of place called Kokomo. Bodies in the sand, tropical drink melting in your hand, we’ll be falling in love to the rhythm of a steel drum band… Hold on now … Where’s the...
