ST. LOUIS David Backes was searching for an activity to keep busy during the NHL All-Star break, and a decision to combine his passions of flight and animal rescue saved three stray dogs. Last Friday, Backes, the St. Louis Blues' captain, participated in a seven-hundred mile mission to Houston with his wife, Kelly, and his flight instructor, Tim Voithover. Upon landing, they...

With one fell swoop from Patrick Berglund and a deft tip from Carlo Colaiacovo finished a game that should have ended long, giving the St. Louis Blues a 3-2 overtime win over the Colorado Avalanche.

Follow me on twitter @tonymoreno20 David Perron and Brian Elliot led the Blues to a victory over the Senators 2 days ago.  Elliot looked brilliant against his former team making 28 saves on 29 shots, again showing why he should be the starting goalie.  Perron had 2 goals and the team reached over 2 goals for just the 2nd time in 8 games and going 5-2-1 in that span.  The goaltending...

NASHVILLE – Not too long ago, defensemen that were 22 years old and just breaking into the league weren’t relied upon to be anchors, per se, of a blueline. Times have changed, for the better, in the NHL. One team that has benefitted from the rapid maturation for defensemen is St. Louis, where youngsters Kevin Shattenkirk and Alex Pietrangelo are leading the way.When GM Doug...

Despite those figures, and despite the fact that the Blues have no idea when they'll get back Andy McDonald, Alex Steen and Matt D'Agostini from concussions, general manager Doug Armstrong said that...

The first game St. Louis Blues goalie Brian Elliott plays following the All-Star break will likely feel like a walk in the park compared to what he faced Sunday afternoon in the NHL All-Star Game in Ottawa. Elliott, the Blues' lone All-Star representative, was the third goalie to see action for Team Alfredsson. He faced 19 shots in the third period alone and allowed six goals...

Hockey East has frequently featured some of the most talented college hockey players in the world since coming into existence in 1984, but a few players have stood above the rest. One such player is Paul Kariya.

ST. LOUIS - Traveling back to Ottawa was likely the last thing goalie Brian Elliott thought he would be doing during the All-Star break when he signed a one-year contract with the St. Louis Blues last summer. Heck, Elliott wasn't even sure he was going to make the Blues roster when training camp opened in September. Now he's headed to the All-Star Game as their only representative...

In the first period of last night's NHL game in St. Louis, Blues forward T.J. Oshie ran straight into the back of one of the referees. Oshie went down so hard that it made the accidental collision look like a blindside hit by the ref. Oshie was chasing the puck and was so focused on it that he couldn't see the referee. Hopefully he'll...

The Western Hockey League is an NHL feeder and home to some tough hockey. Cody Beach, a 2010 fifth round draft pick of the St. Louis Blues, dropped the gloves twice during the Moose Jaw Warriors tilt with the Prince Albert Raiders. In this bout, he got the better of Prince Albert's Tyler Yaworski in an extremely one-sided battle. Beach was the aggressor at the beginning, middle...

The record has been night...

Many Blues fans believe that the NHL snubbed forward David Backes by not sending him an invitation to this month's All-Star game. Backes' four-point performance Saturday in a 4-2 victory over Buffalo, when he had a hand in each of the Blues' goals, will only amplify those sentiments. Backes left the game momentarily in the first period after crashing hard into the boards...

Before the Blues' game Tuesday in Ottawa, where they hadn't won since January 2000, the players walked around the visiting locker room wearing T-shirts that read: "Road Warriors." The club owns the best home record in the NHL at 22-3-4, but playing on the road has been much more difficult. They were 8-11-3 heading into Tuesday's game, losers of four of their...
