OK.....purely coincidental that just days after I post about the Blues hiking ticket prices they choose to temporarily drop prices in select areas. The AHL team has reduced its upper bowl end zone seats above the Zamboni entrance of the arena - an area called the Pilot House - by 33 percent, from $1...

True.

And Sauers selling to the Blues ...then the Blues raising ticket prices sure didnt endear people to the organization either.

Id add Salt Lake City to the list. Might be a further distance...but does have a Checketts connection.

Cute promo.

Rivermen hire coach By DAVE EMINIAN OF THE JOURNAL STAR Posted Jul 07, 2008 @ 09:37 PM PEORIA — Davis Payne has built a reputation as a winner during his coaching career.

Here a couple bits and pieces regarding the Peoria Rivermen from today's PJStar ..... Dallas to place no more then 4 players with Peoria....no goalie. They also could place 1 assistant coach with the Rivermen. Peoria assistant coach Davis Payne is closing in on the vacant Rivermen head-coaching posi...

C+ is just a point away from a B- though. (Thats the line I always gave in school anyway ....seemed to work). Not surprising (to me) that all were dmen though. Rivs totally tanked after January. Seemed like we were always needing 4 goals or more to win, and it cant be done game after game. Not the b...

Dont forget....you got the coaches making the comments and Eminian doing the grade itself.

Out of curiosity sake....which ones caught your eye?

OK...curiously interesting The Blues fired Peoria Rivermen coach Dave Baseggio on Wednesday but have not told Baseggio or the media the reason for his dismissal. *snip* Blues general manager Larry Pleau and Peoria GM Kevin McDonald informed Baseggio of his termination Wednesday morning.

From this morning's PJStar..... The Blues say they have no timeline on a replacement. But NHL and AHL sources believe Rivermen assistant coach Davis Payne will likely be Peoria's next head coach. Payne was runner-up in the original coaching search in which the Blues hired Baseggio. It's possible St....

This past season's Rivermen roster was the most exciting group of players I have seen put together....yet they were the most under achieving team for some reason. Could is all be as simple as "developing players / teaching them the Blues system" as opposed to really wanting to put a winning team on ...

FIRED: Rivermen coach Baseggio PEORIA — The St. Louis Blues have fired Peoria Rivermen head coach Dave Baseggio. The Rivermen went 38-33-9 and finished seventh in the West Division, missing the playoffs for the second consecutive season under Baseggio. Blues general manager Larry Pleau and St. Lo...
