First Screen Viewing Blue Jackets vs. Lightning – 6pm I’m gonna resist the urge to continually least he Leafs here, even though they’re probably the most entertaining TV at the moment. The Jackets have taken six of the first eight points on offer, and the Artemi Panarin

 vs.  RECORDS: Blues 1-1-1   Hawks 2-0-2 PUCK DROP: 7:30pm TV: NBCSN Chicago THE CALL OF KTULU: St. Louis Gametime I’m not sure exactly what’s up with NHL scheduling, other than it’s designed by the NHL so inherently it’s boneheaded.

The only outlier there is Jonathan Quick‘s 2014 run, which was buffeted by an offense that went Human Torch in the playoffs, thanks to Anze Kopitar, Jeff Carter, […]

Game #5 – Blues vs. Hawks Q&A: Oh Dear God Brad Lee Got Loose

Sam Fels October 13, 2018 0

Hi, I’m Brad. I live in St. Louis. Much of my wardrobe is blue. I’m the captain of the USS Game Time, the fan-run paper we sell outside every Blues game. It’s a lot like what the Committed Indian was when Sam was more committed. Or before he got committed. I forget. For the record, […]

You’ll see this in Brad Lee’s manifesto in the Q&A. It’s not the first or last time you’ll hear it either. You can change the names, the era, whatever else, there’s always someone new who is going to save the Blues from the back end. It was Erik Johnson once. It was Kirk ShattenKevin at […]

Let’s continue Duncan Keith Week with a video: I could talk about this goal for hours, probably. One, I’m not sure I’ve ever yelled louder at a sporting event than this one, and you can ask former editor Matthew Killion to confirm. There was a lot going into this night for all of us, and […]
