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....
The Blues are more like an NBA team now, picking their spots to try hard. Picking their spots to try and win a game.Taking other nights off by barely showing up to play. It’s called “load management” in the NBA. But this is hockey, where it’s unacceptable to steal a...
The homeward-bound Blues returned to the Enterprise Center on Tuesday after traveling through an extensive stretch of road games. Unfortunately the boys must have misplaced their offense along the way. They could not find it in the baggage claim. Playing in only their...
The Blues had a record of 0-2-1 during their spring-break trip to the New York city area, a place where the saloons stay open until 4 a.m. Thank goodness the boys returned home from their vacation on Sunday. They’ll get a chance to catch up on their rest, clean up and...

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...
