Let's Go Blues

No wonder we lost. Those uniforms. Egads. Hideous. A Blues team wearing red?!

From Bernie Miklasz's Blues column in today's P-D (April 9): The 2011-2012 Blues are young and innocent and shouldn't be covered with the blood of the many painful playoff crashes in franchise history. This precocious group had nothing to do with Bobby Orr's flying goal at the old barn on Oakland Av...

In summary, score more than then do.

On the contrary. The key will be to allow fewer goals than they do. [grin]

Wonderful, nostalgic pictures of the Blues and the Arena (aka The Barn) are often available on eBay through a local seller named hockeybobst.louis. He has the negatives which allows him to make reprints to conduct multiple auctions. So if you lose, wait for the same print to come along in another au...

On the contrary. I'm spreading the gospel of the Blues.

Still keeping a stash for myself. Such as autographed stick from Stephane Richer. Unused.

I'm looking to pass along some Blues stuff for which I do not have room, but want to find a good home. Specifically, four framed Blues-related posters and pictures. ** Framed black and white interior shot of original St. Louis Arena aka the Old Barn. Pix is from early '70s. The bright spot in middle...

Even if Pietro was immediately ready to be the next Bobby Orr, what would have been the benefit of using up his entry-level eligibility on a Blues team that was nowhere near contending for the Cup?

You are correct. The Blues managed to protect his NHL eligibility by keeping him under the maximum NHL games played. Thus his three-year entry contract did not begin until this past season. Thus, he has two more seasons left on contract at entry-level salary, unlike Schenn. My recollection is that h...

This article indirectly points out why Blues made perfect decision to return Pietrangelo back to juniors the first two seasons after his selection. There is no sense in rushing an underage prospect, and starting the three-year clock, unless he is the missing piece for a Cup contender. http://www.the...

July 25, 1991: Brendan Shanahan signs with the Blues joining Scott Stevens.

The fateful decision would not come until Sept. 3, 1991. *sigh*

Strange things happening with selected e-mail accounts.

Thanks.

I have decided to part with my Blues memorabilia collection from the past 30 years. Consider it a gift in honor of the Monday Night Miracle, a game I saw in person. I'm not interested in using an auction site such as e-Bay to make money off my passion for the Blues. Rather, I'd like to find good hom...

How about trading away a high second-round pick for a player who lasted less than two months and barely outpointed Valeri Bure?

One ticket, for sale, next to me in nosebleed section for Saturday night's game against New Jersey. Discounted price for loyal members of this web site. Please send me a PM if interested.

p.s. I'm not posting on Ticketmaster resale site because I abhor their ripoff fees.

I have a colleague researching power play units, including the 1969-70 St. Louis Blues. Here's his question. "The 1969-70 St Louis #1 PP was a 5-forward unit of Berenson, Goyette (both C's), St Marseille, Sabourin (both RW's), and McDonald. Who were the point guys?" He has informed guesses based on ...

This is cute, tongue-in-cheek. Both the video and posted letter. Best of all, it's topped by an action plan that should be successful.
