Blues News

As NHL Director for FanSided Sports I wanted to take this opportunity to see if there’s anyone out there looking to have their voice heard. Bleedin’ Blue has openings for dedicated and enthusiastic writers.  Do you have something that you want to say? This could be your outlet for that. I’m sure there’s someone out there that would love to be a lead writer, or a staff writer here at our site to cover a franchise that is having a rebirth with new head coach Ken Hitchcock. There are a few different ways that you can be a part of this, and [...]

The St. Louis Blues come back home after losing to the Red Wings in Detroit last night to take on the Pittsburgh Penguins(27-17-4) for the second and last time this year. The Blues won the first contest between the two teams at the CONSOL Energy Center back on November 23th. It was one of the rare occasions this season where the Blues went into overtime and actually came out with a victory off of an Alex Pietrangelo goal. The Blues are coming off a very disappointing loss on the road in Detroit. St. Louis managed to put themselves on the [...]

The St. Louis Blues and the Detroit Red Wings, the top two teams in the Central Division, square off for the 5th of 6 games against eachother this season. The Blues managed to win the first two behind goalie Brian Elliott, but have dropped the last two with the same goaltender. Some might think that Elliott would get the nod since he hasn’t played since January 12th, but Jaroslav Halak has yet to get an opportunity against Detroit this year and tonight might be the night. There’s not much, if anything, that you can say bad about these two team. [...]

If you look the Blues’ roster up and down, there is not a single person who played nearly as well as goaltender, Jaroslav Halak. In the past week, Halak has collected three wins, two of which were shutouts, a .67 goals against average, and a .968 save percentage. These are clearly remarkable numbers given the rather rough start to his season. He’s proven to everyone why he is the Blues number one goalie, despite Brian Elliott’s standout play while filling in during hard times. There’s no reason to think why anything should change the remainder of the year and I’m [...]

This game didn’t look too good at the start for the St. Louis Blues, who were facing one of the worst road teams in the NHL, the Buffalo Sabres. The Blues  may not have had a good start, but boy did they have a great finish.  Jaroslav Halak was chosen for the start in this one, despite speculation that it might be Brian Elliott in goal. I mean, how do you sit a guy who just came off back to back shutouts? The first period was actually pretty neck and neck. Shots went back and forth, but no one was [...]

The St. Louis Blues, coming off their second straight shutout game, will host the depressing Buffalo Sabres tonight at the Scottrade Center. Depressing is really the only word to describe Buffalo who has yet to find answers. Statistically, they’re much like the Edmonton Oilers, who the Blues faced Thursday night. They can’t do anything on the road. Currently riding an 11-game road losing streak, a 7-game stretch away from home doesn’t help, I’m sure. Unlike Edmonton, you can’t really blame injuries. Goaltending has atrocious on behalf of Ryan Miller who has yet to step up and play to the caliber [...]

The St. Louis Blues were at it again Thursday night at home to face the struggling Edmonton Oilers.  In layman’s terms, this was a matchup between the best home team and worst away team in the league. It sure didn’t play out like that, though. Yes, the Blues would walk away with the victory, but it wasn’t handed to them on a silver platter. It seemed like the Blues were handed chance after chance, but had a really hard time capitalizing on any opportunities. Why do you ask? Because Nikolai Khabibulin was basically the only Oiler that gave his team [...]
