The others to do so since 1967-68: the 1976-77 North Stars, 1979-80 Oilers, 1982-83 Maple Leafs, 1987-88 Kings, 1987-88 Maple Leafs and 1996-97 Senators. * The Blues’ surge up the standings has them only four points back of first place in the Central Division. Only one team in NHL history has won its division after sitting in last place in the League at any point after its 20th contest: the 2007-08 Capitals sat in last place overall through 30 games on Dec. 11, 2007 before claiming the Southeast Division crown by a two-point edge over the Hurricanes. * The Blues reached the Stanley Cup Final in each of their first three seasons (1968-70) but remain one of two teams without a Cup who have advanced to the Final on three occasions (also VAN: 0-3). Player Notes * Eleven players who helped the Blues reach the 2016 Western Conference Final remain with the team: Vladimir Tarasenko, Robby Fabbri, Jaden Schwartz, Alexander Steen, Alex Pietrangelo, Colton Parayko, Jay Bouwmeester, Carl Gunnarsson, Joel Edmundson, Robert Bortuzzo and Jake Allen. * Tarasenko scored nine goals during the team’s 2016 playoff run, tied for fourth-most in a playoff year by a Blues player. The 27-year-old ranks third on the all-time franchise list with 22 career playoff goals (44 GP), trailing only Brett Hull (67 G in 102 GP) and Bernie Federko (35 G in 91 GP). * Fabbri collected 4-11—15 in 20 games during the 2016 playoffs, matching the franchise rookie record for assists in a postseason and falling just short of the highest point total by a Blues rookie in a playoff year – Joe Mullen had 7-11—18 in 10 games during the 1982 Stanley Cup Playoffs. * At 20 years, 110 days on May 11, 2016, Fabbri collected 1-2—3 in Game 7 of the Second Round against the Stars to become the youngest player in Stanley Cup Playoffs history to register three points in a Game 7. He also became the youngest player in Blues history to score a goal in a Game 7. * Bouwmeester (1,179 GP) has the third-most regular-season games played among active players who have yet to win a Stanley Cup, behind Patrick Marleau (1,652 GP) and Joe Thornton (1,561 GP). Overall, 12 active NHL players with 1,000 or more career regular-season games are in search of their first Stanley Cup: Marleau, Thornton, Bouwmeester, Dan Hamhuis, Ryan Suter, Jason Spezza, Jason Pominville, Dion Phaneuf, Brent Burns, Thomas Vanek, Ryan Kesler and Roberto Luongo. * Schwartz and Steen each have four playoff game-winning goals, trailing Hull (15), Larry Keenan (6) and Gary Sabourin (5) on the all-time franchise list. Steen (2) also is one of six players to score multiple playoff overtime goals for the Blues. * Jordan Binnington looks to become the ninth different rookie goaltender in Blues history to start a playoff game and first since teammate Jake Allen in the 2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs (2-4 in 6 GP). Jacques Caron (4-5 in 1972 QF vs. MNS) and Curtis Joseph (4-1 in 1990 DSF vs. TOR) are the only rookie netminder to earn four wins in a series for St. Louis. * Allen owns a 9-10 record in his postseason career (23 GP all w/ STL) and sits eight playoff victories shy of tying Greg Millen (17-17 in 35 GP) and Mike Liut (17-20 in 39 GP) for the most in franchise history. IN REVIEW: 2018-19 REGULAR SEASON Team Notes * The Blues own a 26-10-4 record (56 points) since Jan. 1, the third-most points and tied for the second- most wins among all teams in that span. * St. Louis concluded the month of February with a 12-1-1 record to share the League lead in wins (tied with TBL) and tie a franchise mark for wins in a calendar month (12-3-0 in April 2013). * St. Louis has three defensemen – Alex Pietrangelo (13), Vince Dunn (11) and Colton Parayko (10) – with double-digit goal totals in this season, a first in franchise history. Their 26 wins when a blueliner scores a goal rank second-most in the NHL behind Calgary (27). * The Blues posted a franchise-record 11-game win streak from Jan. 23 – Feb. 19, the longest by any team in the NHL this season. Five teams have won the Cup after posting a double-digit win streak during the regular season: the 1981-82 Islanders (15-0-0), 1967-68 Canadiens (12-0-0), 2012-13 Blackhawks (11-0-0), 1939-40 Rangers (10-0-0) and 1943-44 Canadiens (10-0-0). Player Notes * The team’s rise to playoff contention came in line with the emergence of rookie goaltender Jordan Binnington who burst onto the scene on Jan. 7 – with the Blues sitting last in the Western Conference, nine points out of the postseason picture. In that game, Binnington became the 35th goaltender in NHL history to earn a shutout in his first career start. * On March 23, Binnington earned his 20th NHL win in just his 25th career start. Only five other netminders in League history recorded their 20th career win in 25 or fewer starts: Andrew Hammond (23 GS), Frederik Andersen (24 GS), Matt Murray (25 GS), Ross Brooks (24 GS) and Bill Durnan (25 GS). * Among his other achievements in 2018-19, Binnington set a single-season franchise rookie record for shutouts (5) and became the 10th rookie netminder in League history to string together at least nine consecutive victories. His nine-game winning streak from Jan. 23 – Feb. 19 stands as the third-longest in franchise history (regardless of status). * Binnington (21-5-1) sits one victory shy of matching teammate Jake Allen (22-7-4 in 2014-15) for the most wins in a season by a Blues rookie. * Three of the team’s top four scorers posted a point streak of at least 10 games this season, with David Perron (13 GP), Vladimir Tarasenko (12 GP) and Ryan O’Reilly (10 GP) all doing so. Only four other teams in the last 10 years had at least three players with a double-digit point streak: the Canucks and Lightning in 2009-10 followed by the Stars and Red Wings in 2010-11. * In his third season as Blues captain, Alex Pietrangelo (93-300—393 in 683 GP) now ranks second on the all-time franchise list in regular-season goals, assists and points among defensemen, trailing Al MacInnis (127-325—452 in 613 GP) in each category. Pietrangelo and MacInnis each have 22 career game-winning goals, tied for the most among Blues defensemen. * Craig Berube took over as Blues head coach on Nov. 21, 2018, with the team ranking among the top seven in the League in points since. The man he replaced, Mike Yeo, was the last Blues coach to lead the team to the playoffs after taking over during the season, reaching the Second Round in 2015.

  • Jaromir Jagr, the Skater

    Jaromir Jagr, the Skater

    Jaromir Jagr, the Skater by Ross Bonander January 2014 As a member of The Hockey Writers draft team, I often hear about skating ability from scouts. It tends to be the first thing they look at, although, as Shane Malloy writes in The Art of Scouting, that doesn't mean they all agree on its importance from the scouting perspective. This is in part because, unlike something like size, skating is a skill which players can improve. The 2013-14 season marks Jaromir Jagr’s 25th year of professional hockey, and he is methodically working his way up the all-time scoring lists, all while leading his latest team, the New Jersey Devils, in points. This got me wondering: Perhaps throughout the 1700+ NHL points he’s accumulated, the take-you-out-of-your- seat stickhandling, the jaw-dropping dekes and sensational goals, maybe one aspect of Jagr's game deserved a closer look. Jaromir Jagr, the Skater. The great Eddie Johnston once echoed a sentiment expressed by everyone from Mario Lemieux to Scotty Bowman when he said: “I don’t know any player who is stronger on his skates than Jaromir Jagr. One on one, there has never been a player so dangerous.” For instance, in collecting his 1,723rd career point, an assist on an Adam Henrique goal, Jaromir Jagr victimized defenseman Nick Grossman in classic Jagr fashion: With fast hands, long reach, impeccable hockey sense … and all of it powered from, made possible by, his skates. After watching video both new and old, I concluded that for all the spectacular goals Jagr has scored, almost none of them would be possible were he anything short of one of the very best skaters in the game.

    A Matter of Inches My Last Fight

    INDEPENDENT PUBLISHERS GROUP A Matter of Inches How I Survived in the Crease and Beyond Clint Malarchuk, Dan Robson Summary No job in the world of sports is as intimidating, exhilarating, and stress­ridden as that of a hockey goaltender. Clint Malarchuk did that job while suffering high anxiety, depression, and obsessive compulsive disorder and had his career nearly literally cut short by a skate across his neck, to date the most gruesome injury hockey has ever seen. This autobiography takes readers deep into the troubled mind of Clint Malarchuk, the former NHL goaltender for the Quebec Nordiques, the Washington Capitals, and the Buffalo Sabres. When his carotid artery was slashed during a collision in the crease, Malarchuk nearly died on the ice. Forever changed, he struggled deeply with depression and a dependence on alcohol, which nearly cost him his life and left a bullet in his head. Now working as the goaltender coach for the Calgary Flames, Malarchuk reflects on his past as he looks forward to the future, every day grateful to have cheated death­twice. 9781629370491 Pub Date: 11/1/14 Author Bio Ship Date: 11/1/14 Clint Malarchuk was a goaltender with the Quebec Nordiques, the Washington Capitals, and the Buffalo Sabres. $25.95 Hardcover Originally from Grande Prairie, Alberta, he now divides his time between Calgary, where he is the goaltender coach for the Calgary Flames, and his ranch in Nevada.

    PREGAME NOTES 2019 TIM HORTONS NHL HERITAGE CLASSIC WINNIPEG JETS vs. CALGARY FLAMES MOSAIC STADIUM, REGINA, SASK. – OCT. 26, 2019 JETS, FLAMES FACE OFF OUTDOORS The Winnipeg Jets and Calgary Flames face off tonight in the 2019 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic (10 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CST, CBC, SN1, CITY, TVAS2, NBCSN) – the League’s 28th regular-season outdoor game and fifth in the Heritage Classic series. The Jets and Flames each have participated in one prior outdoor game, both under the Heritage Classic umbrella. Winnipeg played host to the 2016 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic at Investors Group Field, falling 3-0 to the Edmonton Oilers. Nine Jets players who appeared in that game remain with the team: Kyle Connor, Nikolaj Ehlers, Connor Hellebuyck, Patrik Laine, Adam Lowry, Josh Morrissey, Mathieu Perreault, Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler. Current Calgary goaltender Cam Talbot started for Edmonton in that contest, stopping all 31 shots he faced for the third shutout in outdoor NHL game history. Current Jets forward Mark Letestu scored the winning goal (while shorthanded), as a member of the Oilers. And current Flames forward Milan Lucic recorded two penalty minutes for Edmonton. Calgary served as hosts for the 2011 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic at McMahon Stadium, defeating the Montreal Canadiens 4-0. Two players who appeared in that game remain with the Flames: Mikael Backlund and Mark Giordano. Overall, the Jets feature 11 players who have participated in a prior outdoor NHL game (minimum: 1 GP in 2019-20), while the Flames have four. Talbot leads that group with four such appearances, though he served as a backup goaltender for three of them (2014 SS w/ NYR [2 GP], 2019 SS w/ PHI).

    DOBBER’S 2010-11 FANTASY GUIDE DOBBERHOCKEY.COM – HOME OF THE TOP 300 FANTASY PLAYERS I think we’re at the point in the fantasy hockey universe where DobberHockey.com is either known in a fantasy league, or the GM’s are sleeping. Besides my column in The Hockey News’ Ultimate Pool Guide, and my contributions to this year’s Score Forecaster (fifth year doing each), I put an ad in McKeen’s. That covers the big three hockey pool magazines and you should have at least one of them as part of your draft prep. The other thing you need, of course, is this Guide right here. It is not only updated throughout the summer, but I also make sure that the features/tidbits found in here are unique. I know what’s in the print mags and I have always tried to set this Guide apart from them. Once again, this is an automatic download – just pick it up in your downloads section. Look for one or two updates in August, then one or two updates between September 1st and 14th. After that, when training camp is in full swing, I will be updating every two or three days right into October. Make sure you download the latest prior to heading into your draft (and don’t ask me on one day if I’ll be updating the next day – I get so many of those that I am unable to answer them all, just download as late as you can). Any updates beyond this original release will be in bold blue.
