I was a Nolan Arenado fan when he was a member of the Colorado Rockies and was thrilled when he was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals. It’s been difficult watching his performance decline due to injuries and age-related decline. Is it possible that a potential trade to the Los Angeles Angels could revive his […]
The St. Louis Blues , although doing somewhat better of late, are still a team to watch as a seller as we get closer to the trade deadline. Veteran Justin Faulk has been a prime trade candidate this season, as the 33-year-old has only a year and a half remaining on his $6.5 million cap hit. With two playoff runs available before the end of his deal, he should fetch a decent return for the Blues from teams looking to add a hard-nosed, all-around right-shot d-man who can log plenty of ice ...
The Edmonton Oilers started the second half of the season like they started the first half — with a home loss. With 40 games remaining, the Oilers, like most of their opponents, are still looking for some consistency. They’ve yet to win three games in a row, and if St. Louis wins in Chicago on…
This week, Jake, Gabe, and Scott are talking to Cardinals 2025 Rule 5 selection (Triple-A phase) Ryan Murphy! Ryan is an RHP who was drafted in the 5th round of the Covid 2020 draft! Murphy spent the majority of the season recovering from Tommy John surgery and had the opportunity to pitch in the Arizona […]
Taylor Davis had become a folk hero to Cubs fans when he hit a game-tying grand slam against the Cardinals in a game in May 2019. That’s always fun to re-watch, so here it is [VIDEO]. Your browser does not support the video tag. Davis played in just 20 games over parts of three seasons […]
The St. Louis Blues have signed Alexey Toropchenko to a two-year deal at $2.5 million AAV. The Blues are expecting to go through a number of changes, so this signing appears to allow the team to keep one of their pieces around. 2 x $2.5M https://t.co/M0vfNkW8kX — Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) January 5, 2026 Toropchenko is a 26-year-old winger who was on a one-year $1.7 million AAV deal. He plays around 12.5 minutes per game in the bottom-6 of the Blues and the big forward plays some ...
This coming season, if the current roster holds true, the lineup is going to look very similar to the one that ended the season in Los Angeles. Nick Castellanos has been swapped out for Adolis Garcia, but other than that, it looks remarkably similar. There is still a lot of time left to make another […]
The Cardinals are in a very familiar place as of late, a place the Cardinals were in all of last offseason, which is a holding pattern of sorts. The holding pattern being caused by potential trades that will probably happen but haven’t yet. The Cardinals are in a more advantageous position now though, basically waiting […]
The Habs went 2-1-0 during the first week of January and sit second in the Atlantic Division with a record of 23-13-6.
The week started out with another chaotic comeback, this time against the Carolina Hurricanes, in which Juraj Slafkovský dominated the third period in a 7-5 Habs win. The Canadiens were then shut out by the St. Louis Blues in a Saturday matinée in a Jordan Binnington masterclass that ended two-zip. Montreal finished the week on a high note, taking down Dallas in overtime,...
It’s been clear since the beginning of the off-season that the St. Louis Cardinals planned to shop Brendan Donovan as nearly every team in the league has some level of interest. I’m still in favor of the Cardinals maximizing the value of players including Donovan, but I now have to ask the question of what […]
It is officially 2026 and the two most necessary players for the St. Louis Cardinals to trade remain in the organization as Spring Training is five short weeks away. In my opinion, both Nolan Arenado and Brendan Donovan should be dealt before March in order to get this Chaim Bloom-led rebuild headed in the right […]
First period
The ref is calling Noah Dobson for a high stick even though he was playing the puck up the boards in the offensive zone.
The Blues looked quite dangerous on the power play, so the Habs will have to not do things that the officials can interpret as penalties.
Montreal is making it a bit too easy for the Blues to get to the slot right now, backing off too much and giving them a lane to the slot.
The Habs are also getting too many players caught up ice for St. L...

After what was far from a pretty win in North Carolina, the Montreal Canadiens move on to the next stop of their tour in St. Louis. The Blues are another team that can play just as messy a style of hockey as we witnessed from the Jaccob Slavin-less Hurricanes ...

Much ink has been spilled over the last three seasons trying to diagnose and correct the errors that have led to the Cardinals unceremonious tumble from the top of the National League Central division. While I can see the arguments for poor player development, lack of ownership spending, or the inability to keep and trade […]
A little bit of salt in the wounds for Edmonton Oilers fans. On Friday, the Swedish Ice Hockey Federation revealed its men’s roster for the 2026 Winter Olympics. Along with notable names like Victor Hedman, Elias Pettersson, and Lucas Raymond, one player who will be making his Olympic debut will be St. Louis Blues defenceman…
On Friday, the United States revealed its roster for the upcoming Winter Olympics. Initially, we knew that six players were confirmed for the team: Toronto’s Auston Matthews, Florida’s Matt Tkachuk, Ottawa’s Brady Tkachuk, Vegas center Jack Eichel, Bruins defender Charlie McAvoy, and Minnesota Wild defenseman Quinn Hughes. The rest of the mix was widely speculated and, to some, seemed to be set in stone. But Team USA’s general manager Bill Guerin and his inner circle still had some tough decis...

This first installment will essentially add the 2025 season to the numbers and comb out some interesting tidbits, focusing more on the Cardinals than the rest of the league. […]
Prior to ringing in the New Year, the Colorado Avalanche had one more win to add to their impressive totals in the 2025-26 season. The latest victim was the St. Louis Blues who were embarrassed early and often in their first meeting with the Avalanche this season. In the end, a 6-1 final gave Colorado […]

I can’t remember the last time I saw so much news about a trade that hasn’t happened yet. The ongoing saga of the St. Louis Cardinals possibly trading Brendan Donovan has now taken another turn or two and there’s no immediate end in sight as the talks with the San Francisco Giants have apparently stalled […]
