The Blues performed a merciful act on Sunday afternoon. With passion and love of The Lou in their hearts, the undermanned squad calmed the village and made their peoples happy with a 5-2 victory over the lamplighting Minnesota Wild. Down 2-1 in the best-o-seven series...
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...
