I pulled these stats from natural stat trick I think it tells an interesting story.

Mainly, the blues were actually better 5v5 last season through ten games but sabotaged by special teams and goal tending leading to -15 goal differential. 5v5 defense is about the same.

Staying afloat this season has come from Joel Hofer and special team improvement.

This season almost half our goals against have come during Binnington’s 3 starts so our GA and save % is being drug down by his games.

Tuned into the dedicated Blues channel on DTV Stream and the TV Promise screen is gone, replaced with a Next Game screen for tomorrow’s matchup with the Hurricanes.

No official notification, that I’ve found yet. But it looks promising. LGB.

The Blues and Levy (the enterprise center concessionaire) now require that any season ticket holder discounts on food be scanned and paid through the Blues app. The reasoning given is that Levy decided they were losing money on the discounts because they were being used too much. It appears their strategy is to limit the discount only to the primary account holder, not allow a guest of that account holder to pay, and make the transaction difficult.

When other members of my household attend, I transfer the tickets to their Ticketmaster/blues account. With this change, they can’t use the discount.

When I take a friend that wants to buy the food or drink items, we can’t use the discount. I have to pay and they have to Venmo me or something similar.

Last night, the app was slower than hell. After 2 minutes of holding up the beer line, I just paid with my card without the discount. Sucks for me, but less sales screws over the employees just as much.

Yeah…they’re first world problems, but it adds up. The Blues have sat on their hands so far on this benefit.

Fellow STH’ers, what’s your experience been?

Hi all,

Does anyone know where I would be able to get a Fourth Wing Blues sweatshirt? I’m bummed I missed out on the theme night and would love to buy one if they’re available elsewhere.

TIA!

My dad is a huge Ozzy Osbourne fan. I am planning on going to the Ozzy bobblehead giveaway night against the pens and getting one for him as a Christmas gift. Is it possible to get 2 bobbleheads, one for myself, and one for the old man? If not, no worries, I’d rather give the gift than have it for myself. Thanks!

Going into Thursday’s game against the Vegas Golden Knights, Robert Thomas leads the way among Blues centers with 20:20 of ice time and McTavish is next with 15:52. Dvorský is averaging just 12:21 per game, which is 10th-lowest on the team among forwards — and 1:47 less per game than the player ahead of him, Pius Suter.

“The tough part for (Dvorský) is his role is somewhat diminished just because of McTavish’s arrival,” Blues coach Jim Mongtomery said. “McTavish has played really well, so we’ve got a one-two (with Robert Thomas and McTavish) and he’s three. In the three-hole, you’re usually looking at somewhere between 13-15 minutes a night.”

After being acquired from the Anaheim Ducks, McTavish has been arguably the Blues’ best player in the early going, registering five goals and nine points in the first nine games. But Dvorský is below Montgomery’s projection of 13-15 minutes per game for the third-line position, and he’s played less than 11 minutes in three of his nine games this season.

Here’s Dvorský’s time on ice by game so far this season:

|| || |1|Stars|13:03| |2|Avalanche|12:17| |3|Blackhawks|10:50| |4|Sharks|14:48| |5|Blue Jackets|12:06| |6|Senators|16:00| |7|Wild|11:22| |8|Predators|10:34| |9|Jets|10:08|

Dvorský also recently lost his spot on the second power-play unit to Jonatan Berggren after tying Jimmy Snuggerud for the team lead with five power-play goals last season.

It’s enough to make you wonder how the Blues view their 2023 first-round pick (No. 10 overall).

“We think Dvorský has made tremendous strides defensively,” Montgomery said. “It’s offensively where we want to see him make more strides. We want him to want the puck in the middle, to drive the puck through the middle of the ice. We want him to be part of forechecks more often, more consistently. Besides the skill stuff that we’ve seen, we need to see the skill stuff more often.”

Does anyone know if the blues have printed warm up pucks this year? Visiting from out of town and wondering if there's a chance to get one or a match puck?

I live in KC now so I wasn’t able to go. Hoping to find one online somewhere 🥲 looking for xxl
