St. Louis Blues Jake Neighbours Joins Long List Of Winners
The St. Louis Blues seemed to know something we didn’t when they drafted Jake Neighbours. Originally, I thought it was a reach to acquire him in the draft where St. Louis did, but it looks like the youngster has a bright future ahead of him. The Blues brought him to camp in 2021 and he […] St. Louis Blues Jake Neighbours Joins Long List Of Winners - Bleedin Blue - Bleedin Blue - A St. Louis Blues Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More

Which former Blues are you rooting for in the Stanley Cup Final?
Photo by Mark LoMoglio/NHLI via This may be the dumbest question asked on Game Time. After winning the 2019 Stanley Cup, the annual tradition of figuring out which former Blue you wanted to see win hockey’s biggest prize became a little less painful. The running joke of “oh, all they had to do was play for someone else!” ended effectively with T.J. Oshie’s 2017 win with the Capitals. Now, we can just be happy when one of our old guys wins it without the dose of wistfulness. Blues fans have a new annual tradition anyway: cheering on Pat Maroon in the Final. This...

How can the Blues fill a possible hole left by Nick Leddy?
Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports The veteran defenseman probably won’t stay in St. Louis. Some people like St. Louis Blues defenseman Nick Leddy. But, as I’ve mentioned in my lede, Leddy probably won’t stay with St. Louis.The Blues should take a closer look at Leddy. He wrapped up his final season of a seven-year, $5.5 million contract. Of course, there’s a chance he’ll stay in the Midwest because of the “Minnesota connection” that he shares with his fellow Minnesotans. However, I’m not sure. The Blues might want to get a defenseman that plays physically...
