We’re breaking down the best, worst, most frustrating, and most unforgettable moments from the St. Louis Blues season. Who takes home Team MVP? Who was the Breakout Player of the Year? Which player had us screaming at our TVs? And who gets the prestigious “You Suck" Award? From breakout stars and biggest disappointments to best games, worst losses, and some completely ridiculous categories, we’re putting the entire season on trial.

Playoffs, Prospects, Birds??!

The Blues offseason is anything but quiet. We break down the NHL Conference Finals, coaching changes in St. Louis, Springfield's Calder Cup run, IIHF action, and why prospects like Justin Carbonneau, Adam Jiricek, Otto Stenberg, Theo Lindstein and Love Harenstam have Blues fans excited for the future.

They Did It Their Way

The Blues didn’t make the playoffs—but they didn’t go down quietly. After finishing just four points short, we break down a season that was defined by a late surge, a new identity, and a first line that completely took over down the stretch. From Robert Thomas’ breakout late goal scoring push to Jimmy Snuggerud’s electric rookie run, to the emergence of a line that carried the offense, this team showed what it could be—just a little too late. We dive into what really cost them a playoff spot, whether the post-Olympic run was sustainable, and how inconsistency in big moments ultimately sealed their fate. Plus, we look ahead at the NHL Draft Lottery, where the Blues land at 11th overall stuck between contention and opportunity. They certainly did it their way this season.

Reality Sets In + Our Live Watch Along

We’re back live ahead of Blues vs Ducks after a wild two-week stretch. A red-hot run after the break gave St. Louis real playoff hope, but back-to-back tough losses to the Sharks and Kings may have ended it. We break down the collapse, the rise of Snuggerud and the youth core, and what this team actually is right now as we watch the Blues vs. Ducks live! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Heating Up The Young Guns

The Blues just keep winning. Since the Olympic break, St. Louis has gone 7-2-1, and somehow the team looks faster, younger, and more dangerous after the trade deadline. We break down what’s fueling the Blues’ hot stretch, including Robert Thomas’ 9-game point streak (6G, 8A), Jimmy Snuggerud’s breakout performances, and Joel Hofer’s outstanding goaltending. We also dive into the youth movement taking shape in St. Louis with Dalibor Dvorsky, Mailloux, and Berggren stepping into bigger roles, plus Cam Fowler’s quiet six-game point streak from the blue line. We discuss the wins over Anaheim, Carolina, and Edmonton, the overtime battle with the Islanders, and what went wrong against Winnipeg — along with what still concerns us despite the team’s recent success. Are the Blues preparing for a playoff push? Or are they giving us false hope? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
