Kings at Blues preview: Stay outta the damn box
Jeff Curry-USA TODAY Sports The Blues are still taking too many penalties per game. The Blues’ penalty kill is getting better, inching up to 27th in the league with a 65.4% effectiveness rate. That’s good, because the Blues are sixth in the league in penalties right now. They’ve been disciplined in previous seasons, but this year that’s apparently being tossed out of the window. Craig Berube is not happy. Berube on taking five more penalties tonight: "I don’t know what to tell you guys about penalties. I really don’t want to talk about them. I’ve talked...

Kings at Blues GameDay Thread: Let’s see how this works out
Jeff Curry-USA TODAY Sports Will the adjustments and practice this week help get the Blues’ power play clicking? The Blues took in some needed practice on their power play this week, but they also realize that it’d be a swell idea to stop letting the opposition get a chance to have the man advantage quite so often. Coach Craig Berube seems, to a word, tired: “We can’t go to the box that much. It’s really hard on people, it’s hard on our team,” Berube said. “[We] can’t get to our game because of it. I don’t know where we’re at in the League...

St. Louis Blues Mike Hoffman Must Be Better, But So Must Fans

Jamie Rivers brought up a very interesting point on 101 ESPN when discussing Hoffman.

Kings at Blues preview: Will the special teams show their stuff?
Jeff Curry-USA TODAY Sports The Blues have a three game winning streak against the Kings that stretches back to, of course, last season. The Kings weren’t a playoff team last year, finishing second to last in the Pacific Division, but they did string together an impressive seven game winning streak to close the year. They’re rebuilding still, but are also aging. Their veteran core - Dustin Brown, Anze Kopitar, Drew Doughty, Jeff Carter, and Jonathan Quick are an all-star team of players born in the 1980s. Sadly, in hockey player years, that is old (it is not old to...

The Blues are aware that the power play needs work
Photo by Keith Gillett/Icon Sportswire via In a shortened season, how much time do they have to fix things? Last season, the Blues finished with a 24.3% power play effectiveness, good for third in the NHL. If you factor in this year’s power play, it drops to sixth in the league with a 22.7% effectiveness rate. That isn’t bad, you might say. Three spots? Come on. That’s a drop of three spots after four games played. This season so far, the Blues are humming along with a perfect zero percent effectiveness on the PP. The only other team who hasn’t scored with an...
