ALEX PIETRANGELO RUMORS

Alex Pietrangelo could play Game 3 for St. Louis Blues

The St. Louis Blues could have Alex Pietrangelo (lower-body) back in the lineup for Thursday's Game 3 against the Los Angeles Kings. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the defenseman himself will decide if he's able to go. "He feels OK," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said after Pietrangelo took part in full practice Wednesday. "If he feels OK (Thursday),...

The Good Guys Win If Pietrangelo Plays Tonight

from Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, * If Blues defenseman Alex Pietrangelo can play in Game 2, which now seems possible, it will be a terrific triumph for the Blues, and an uplifting development in this series. If Petro can play, the Kings would have failed in the attempt to rub him out. And the Blues will have regained the services of their best all-around player...

Pietrangelo still a game-time decision

ST. LOUIS St. Louis Blues defenseman Alex Pietrangelo could return to the lineup tonight, coach Ken Hitchcock said Monday. Pietrangelo left during the second period of St. Louis' 3-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals Saturday at Scottrade Center after Kings winger Dwight King slammed him face-first into the boards. The action resulted...

Kerry Fraser On The Alex Pietrangelo Hit

from Kerry Fraser of TSN, I did not like this illegal hit or the penalty assessment one bit. Even if there had been the absence of an injury to the chin of Alex Pietrangelo, based on the degree of violence of the impact with the boards a major penalty was warranted under rule 41.3—boarding and needed to be identified as such. If this type of “check” from behind...

Blues upset with King's hit on Pietrangelo

Pietrangelo left the game in the second period with a possible concussion after being shoved into the boards by LA's D.J. King. King received a two-minute minor penalty for boarding, and on the Blues' power play, LA scored...

Pietrangelo injury could be big loss for Blues

ST. LOUIS - Few teams in the NHL suffered as many key injuries as the St. Louis Blues did during the regular season. Saturday night in a 3-1 loss to the L.A. Kings in Game 1 of the second round, the Blues may have taken their biggest hit yet. Defenseman Alex Pietrangelo, the Blues leader in ice time in both the regular season and playoffs, left with 1:13 to play in the second period...

Alex Pietrangelo victim of a nasty board, status uncertain. Great.

Of course this happens in game one. And, of course the call gets botched: [youtube]fsSWSWt_rbU[/youtube] Yes, that's blood running down Alex Pietrangelo's throat, and yes, that was Dwight King doing something that should have necessitated a five minute major and a game misconduct. I think I've been pretty consistent all year long (regardless of team) when I've said...

Blues' success relies on goaltending, defense

ST. LOUIS Alex Pietrangelo rushed to pack a large duffle bag after a recent loss to the Phoenix Coyotes, knowing a complete defensive approach is needed to complement the St. Louis Blues' strong goaltending. Last Friday, the Blues defenseman stood near his locker at the Scottrade Center after Brian Elliott had surrendered foul goals, a performance that added to St. Louis'...

Where is the Love for Alex Pietrangelo?

As the 2011-12 NHL regular season winds down, people have begun to talk, as they always do, about the awards race and which player on their favorite team deserves this, that, or the other award.  It’s great fun. One of those awards, as we all know, is the Norris Trophy, which is given to the [...]

Alex Pietrangelo Stars, Leads Blues to Signature Win

The night started with Scottrade Center abuzz and cheering the return of long-injured Andy McDonald. It ended with a salute to the best performance of Alex Pietrangelo’s young career. Pietrangelo scored twice, assisted on another, blocked a couple of shots, and was front and center in a terrific penalty kill as the St. Louis Blues dominated the San Jose Sharks 3-0. There were...
