From road trip struggles to statement wins, the St. Louis Blues respond with huge victories over Anaheim and Colorado, and we’re breaking it all down with Katelyn this week. Are the playoff hopes still alive, or is it time to start thinking about draft position? We dive into that debate while also highlighting the dominance of the Holloway–Thomas–Snuggerud line and the impact they’ve had offensively. We also take a closer look at Joel Hofer and his strong turnaround after a rough start, as the Blues try to build momentum at a critical point in the season.

Great week for the Blues ends with rough loss to the Sharks. Luke returns to recap it all with us. In one of the most fun episodes of recent memory, we dive into all the Blues news and notes. Lots of fan interaction in this one as we get many fan questions and even some some playful banter at Luke and Dakota. We spend some time on Dylan Holloway’s projected new contract and finish off with a prefered bandwagon for the playoffs if the Blues can pull it off.

Blues continue to win but are playoffs already out of reach? Kelsey breaks down whether she wants the Blues to keep pushing or if it is time for the tank. We also discuss potential summer moves. Could St. Louis start next season without Robert Thomas, Colton Parayko, Jordan Binnington, or Jordan Kyrou? Kelsey then breaks down the final 13 games of the season. Does she see the Blues continuing to win?

This week on the podcast, we break down everything happening with the St. Louis Blues over the past seven days—from key performances and lineup decisions to where the team stands as the season heats up. We dive into what’s working, what’s not, and what it all means moving forward.

We’re also joined by special guest Tom, who shares his perspective as a fan and creator. In addition to talking Blues hockey, we spotlight his YouTube channel dedicated to visiting stadiums across the country. Tom gives us a behind-the-scenes look at his travels, favorite venues, and what makes each sports experience unique.

It’s a mix of Blues analysis and sports culture you won’t want to miss.

Post deadline show!! The Blues are on a roll, even with Schenn and Faulk moving on. We break down the trades that did happen as well as the trades that could have been. Which is the best return, and what does this look like for the future of the St. Louis Blues? Looking ahead, this team is giving a small glimmer of hope that they might make another post-break push. Are we rooting for wins or are we rooting for losses? Last night's game may have made that decision for us.

Our predeadline show is here, and man, there's plenty to talk about. Robert Thomas rumors have picked up, while Jordan Kyrou has cooled off. Not much is being said about Justin Faulk or Brayden Schenn. Richard, Dakota, and Jacob go through the whole Blues roster to see who goes and who stays after March 6th. Is Doug willing to pull the trigger on a full rebuild, or does he still believe this team can do something? Only time will tell, but this podcast will help you through it!

This week, we break down an unforgettable Olympic hockey tournament.

We start with the dominant run by the United States women's national ice hockey team, who controlled the competition from start to finish. Then we dive into what may have been the best game ever played — the epic men’s showdown between the United States men's national ice hockey team and the Canada men's national ice hockey team.

We also discuss the overall impact of the Olympics on the NHL as teams return to the grind.

Finally, we turn our focus to the St. Louis Blues — what the post-break roster could look like and who might stay or go with the trade deadline approaching.

We’re celebrating a huge milestone with our 150th episode, and we’re joined by Matt Baker from the Shake, Rattle, & Goal podcast to bring us the latest on the Springfield Thunderbirds and what Blues fans should know about the pipeline.

Thanks to everyone who’s been with us for 150 episodes — we couldn’t do it without you! 🎧

The Olympic break is here, and men’s hockey is officially underway! In this episode, we dive into what the start of the Olympics means for the five St. Louis Blues players representing their countries on the international stage. We break down projected lines for each team, where our Blues fit into the mix, and what kind of roles they’re expected to play. Back home, we take a look at where the Blues sit in the standings at the break and what the playoff picture looks like heading into the final stretch of the season. We wrap things up with an extended edition of Teach Me How To Doug, where we dig into the tough decisions ahead. With roster compliance looming after the break, 2–3 moves will need to be made — so what are the most likely scenarios? Trades? Waivers? IR gymnastics? We explore all the possibilities and what they could mean for the team moving forward. Olympics, roster crunches, and the road to the playoffs — let’s get into it. 🎙️🏒

This one’s got EVERYTHING. Rodger tells the legendary story of how a childhood dog turned him into a Canadian Blues fan for life. We break down recent games, including Monday night’s absolute train wreck against Nashville—what went wrong, who’s to blame, and why it hurt so bad. Then Teach Me How to Doug returns as Rodger drops his Gotta Go’s and Untouchables, and yes… some takes will ruffle feathers. We wrap it up by looking ahead to the Olympics, spotlighting which Blues will be repping their countries and what it could mean for the team going forward.

The Blues have dropped four straight, but the vibes are still alive—and Bruce is back for a must-listen episode. We dive into the last few games and explain why the Blues haven’t been nearly as bad as the record shows. Injuries down the middle are testing this team, and we break down exactly how that’s changed the lineup. Plus, things get spicy as Bruce helps us decide who to draft between McKenna, Stenberg, and Verhoff, and we wrap it up by looking at which players could actually be on the move.

The Blues can still not find that elusive third win in a row. After impressive wins over Carolina and Tampa Bay, we don’t show up in Edmonton. Our special guest, Steve Fifer, helps us break this all down on this week’s episode. We look into the continuing goal controversy. Is Hofer now the 1A and Binner 1B, or are we at a full 1-2 split? Steve helps us with what his trade deadline would look like if he were Doug Armstrong. With 2019 and last year’s post 4 Nations push, we also look into the possibility of this team making the playoffs still.

The Blues are sliding, and the drama is heating up. We’re joined by Sam G. to break down the Blues’ three-game losing streak, the ongoing tension between Jordan Binnington and Jim Montgomery (while Joel Hofer stays out of the spotlight), and what it all means moving forward. We also dive into Philip Broberg’s new contract, injuries piling up across the lineup, and kick around some high-profile trade ideas as the season hits a critical point.

It’s a very Grinchy Blues Christmas as the Blues head into the break with more questions than holiday cheer. We break down Dylan Holloway’s injury, two ugly losses to the Predators, and a much-needed win over the Blackhawks.

We also talk expectations heading into the Christmas break and look around the NHL as big trades happen elsewhere while the Blues’ stocking stays empty. Not much joy, but plenty to unpack as the season rolls on.

This week, we’re joined by a truly special guest — Dan Picard, son of St. Louis Blues legend Noel Picard. We dive into stories that bridge generations of Blues hockey, from Noel’s iconic toughness on the ice to the impact his legacy still has on fans today. Dan shares personal memories, behind-the-scenes moments, and what it was really like growing up with one of the most beloved Blues defensemen of all time. We also talk about the modern team, the state of the roster, and how today’s players stack up against the gritty era Noel helped define.

If you’ve got opinions… you’re gonna want this one.

Optimism is hard to come by, but we try our best this episode with podcast super fan Sam R. Covering the Blues and Thunderbirds isn’t great considering they have a combined 10 wins on the season. We try to find some bright spots and look ahead as positive trends are developing for both teams. We quickly cover Logan Mailloux being returned to STL and Texier heading to MTL. Sam then picks her seat at a Thanksgiving dinner with Veterans, Rookies, and Goalies.

The Blues keep finding new and terrible ways to lose, and at this point we’re not even sure if the team wants to win. Luckily, Luke drops by for his sixth appearance — which, if those were goals, would make him the team’s leading scorer.

It’s a full-on mess, but we do our best to break down what’s going wrong and search for even a sliver of hope. (Spoiler: it’s not easy.)

But don’t worry — it’s not all doom and gloom. Jacob nearly gets into a fight with a scale, and Luke takes his shot at our Teach Me How to Doug and Whose Line Is It Anyway segments.

Oh, and we might’ve just invented a brand new stat called “Goalie Got F’d”—for those moments when your goalie had absolutely no chance.
