Quite a Post-Dispatch & KC Star reunion Sat. In KC for Vahe & Cindy Gregorian’s 25th wedding anniversary.
Throw in the troubles on the PK and PP, and anything that wasn’t 5-on-5 was a problem for this team.
#stlblues had NHL's worst record (4-12) in overtime/shootout games this season. It's Blues 2nd-worst record in OT/SO since shootout feature was added in 2005-06. (The '07-08 Blues were 4-13 in extra time.)
Had Blues merely gone 8-8 in OT/SO this season, they would be in playoffs.
Unable to make the @stlcitysc.com vs @fctulsa.bsky.social match last night? Check out my article on @thecup.us. There’s a free kick switcheroo, a goalie assist, and a shoutout to the @stlouligans.bsky.social. What more could you ask for?
'You don’t really know what’s coming': Murky summer ahead, Jordan Binnington wins one more in St. Louis www.stltoday.com/sports/profe...
With Kaprizov, Boldy, Hartman, Ericksson Ek, Hughes, Zuccarello, Faber among 10 Wild sitting out tonight's game against #stlblues, 178 of Minnesota's 266 goals scored this season will be in street clothes.
Fun Fact: Both participants in today's NCAA men's hockey championship -Wisconsin and Denver - played at Centene this year against Lindenwood. Wisconsin beat the Lions 3-0 and 7-2. Denver lost to Lindenwood 4-3, and then beat them 4-0. Both series took place in Oct.
Per College Hockey News (& others) forwards Andrew LeBlanc and Will Schumacher, and d-man Jacob LeBlanc are transferring to Lindenwood. All are from Mercyhurst, which disbanded program. All 3 will be sophs. LeBlancs are twins. Schumacher tied for team lead w/8 goals in 20 games.
To put that in perspective, the Blues had 9 players with at least 20 goals in the 2021-22 season.
So the Blues have a 20-goal scorer after Thomas’ 2nd goal of the night.
Injuries have played a factor, but just about every top guy is having an off year. For players below, 1st number is goals scored last season, 2nd number is goals scored this year:
Kyrou: 36/17
Holloway 26/17
Neighbours 22/14
Thomas 21/17
Buchnevich 20/17
Parayko 16/1
Fowler 9/3
Blues have 5 players w/17 goals. Unless one of them scores at least 3 goals over final 8 games, this will mark 1st time in franchise history they don't have a 20-goal scorer over a full season. (During 48-game lockout shortened 2012-13 season, Chris Stewart led team w/18 goals.)
This is shaping up as one of the worst offenses in #stlbues history. With 8 games to play, Blues are averaging 2.64 goals per game, which would tie for 9th-worst in team history.

Thanks to Caroline and her staff at the Riverbend Bookstore in Crystal City. Had a great time at Saturday's #stlblues book-signing event. If you're down in Jeffco, it's a warm, comfortable environment with hundreds and hundreds of books for all interests.
With tonight’s win over Toronto, Blues (31-30-11) are above .500 in points percentage for 1st time since Oct. 21.
See you Saturday at Riverbend Bookstore in Crystal City for a #stlblues book signing/meet-and-greet! 11am-2pm
To those who celebrate: Ka-Kaw!!

In case you’d forgotten, this is what Tom Wilson did to Oskar Sundqvist in a preseason game in 2018-19. He got a 14-game suspension, I believe.
The 16-team field is set for NCAA Div. 1 men's hockey tournament. Local squad Lindenwood played 3 of those teams during the regular season (Denver, Minnesota-Duluth & Wisconsin).

Just heartbroken over the Jessi Pierce news. She was a ray of sunlight and very good at her job. Hug your kids today.

It wasn’t a pretty first @opencup.ussoccer.com game for BOHFS St. Louis against @unionomaha.bsky.social
Amateur side BOHFS St. Louis falls to Union Omaha 8-0 in the U.S. Open Cup
Good crowd on hand tonight at Lindenwood for US Open Cup soccer between St. Louis amateur team BOHFS and Union Omaha.
Anderson is the 3rd Oakville High player to sign an NHL contract, joining Chase Bradley (currently in Avalanche organization) and some guy named Patrick Maroon.
Congrats to former Oakville High hockey defenseman Jack Anderson, who has signed a 2-way entry level contract w/Dallas Stars. Anderson spent 3 years at Lindenwood and spent this season at Michigan Tech. He reports to the Texas Stars of the AHL for the remainder of this season.
