St Louis Game Time St Louis Volume 4, Issue 31 Game Time Februar y 21, 2009 Four Dollars of No Respect The Game Day Guide To St. Louis Blues Hockey Established in 2005 By Brad Lee that the Blues have been better, but not a lot better than the four teams right in front of them in the standings. Over 24 games, can It‟s hard to tell where this hockey season is going for the they keep that minimal edge and keep moving up? Maybe. St. Louis Blues. We‟ve written more than once in this paper that the season was over weeks ago. Hopefully we were wrong. Thanks to a schedule that will keep most readers of this rag up at night, the Blues only have two games left against Eastern With the injuries, the uneven goaltending, the injuries and the Conference teams. That means 22 of their last 24 will be injuries, fans started talking about the team‟s chances to draft nail-biters every single night. first overall before Christmas. But it seems the Blues aren‟t ready as a group to turn the lights out just yet. It won‟t be easy. Of the teams standing between them and eighth place, the Blues have four games left. They have four games with The Blues have 24 games left. That‟s more than the Coyotes and Avalanche who have the same a quarter of the season left to be played. There number of points. So that‟s almost one-third of are four teams with more points in the the schedule against teams in their vicinity in standings than St. Louis. Ignoring the fact the standings. Add the two games against that there are two with the same number of teams in Florida from the other conference points and NONE with fewer points, it is and that means 14 of their games are against doable that the Blues pick up five points on teams in the top half of the Western the field and finish in eighth place. But Conference. don‟t write your check covering your mythical playoff bill yet. All that last paragraph says is that the Blues will have the chance to win games against In the past 10 games, they have a 5-2-3 teams they are directly competing with for the record, which translates to 13 points. That‟s the final playoff spot. But they will also have to best point total over that time span for all the teams TM compete well and win against the teams that below seventh place in the Western Conference. So that have earned safe entry into the playoffs. So the means if the Blues keep up this pace, they will keep climbing the opponents are a mixed bag between now and when the schedule standings. On the downside of that equation, the teams right in ends on Easter, April 12. front of the Blues have pretty similar records over their last 10 as well. Nashville, tonight‟s opponent, has 11 points in its last 10. Of their 24 games left, 11 of them are at home counting tonight. Los Angeles has earned 12 points and Minnesota 11 while also The Blues are 15-11-4 at home, a respectable record but not that losing three games in a row. That brings us to ninth place and the good. On the road they are a disappointing 10-15-3. That will have Anaheim Ducks. They‟ve lost three in a row as well and have to get better if the season is to be extended into April.

We have all faced many unforeseen challenges, both within and beyond the hockey world. For the safety of everyone involved, the Minnesota Selects Executive Board made the difficult decisions to cancel the 2020 Festival and delay the 2021 Festival until now. While the dates have changed for this year, players and fans will still enjoy many of the features that have made our Festival great since its debut in 1989: * No gate fee. * High-quality jerseys with player names lettered on the back. * Saturday’s Skills Competition (a fan fave!) with prizes. * Sunday’s awards program, including individual player recognition and a strong focus on recognizing our student athletes. * The college-level program with a complete history of the Festival’s participants. * A weekend of great competition, excitement, and fun! On behalf of Minnesota Selects, I want to thank our 680 players and the coaches, families, friends, and volunteers for all the time, planning, and commitment it takes to make our tournament the success that it is and always has been. It’s been a long wait, but we are excited to be back for our 33rd year!

  • Press Clips November 25, 2015
    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips November 25, 2015 Predators-Sabres Preview AP November 25, 2015 The Buffalo Sabres have found goals hard to come by during a season-high, five-game slide. The Nashville Predators won't have any sympathy as they endure the longest scoring drought in club history after being shut out three straight times. These teams with floundering attacks meet Wednesday night, with the visiting Predators seeking a fifth straight win in the series. Buffalo (8-11-2) fell 2-1 at home to St. Louis on Monday to drop to 0-3-2 in its last five. The Sabres took the lead into the third period on former Predators center David Legwand's first goal only to falter over the final 20 minutes. "I thought it was a hard-fought game," coach Dan Bylsma said. "There was a lot of good in a lot of areas from our team. You'd like to find some goals in there." Bylsma's club isn't the only one searching for goals with Nashville (11-6-3) enduring a drought of 213 minutes, 47 seconds after Monday's 3-0 road loss to the New York Rangers. That's the longest in the NHL since the Coyotes were blanked for 245:33 in 2012-13. The Predators are on the verge of even more dubious distinctions. The last time a team was shut out four straight times happened to the 1967-68 Oakland Seals, who tied one of those games. The last club to lose by shutout four straight times was the Montreal Maroons, whose streak spanned the end of 1929-30 and beginning of 1930-31.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: APRIL 20, 2017 COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS DEFENSEMAN ZACH WERENSKI NAMED A FINALIST FOR CALDER MEMORIAL TROPHY Werenski joins Toronto’s Auston Matthews and Winnipeg’s Patrik Laine as finalists for top rookie award COLUMBUS, OHIO --- Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski is among three finalists for the Calder Memorial Trophy, given annually to the National Hockey League’s most outstanding rookie as voted on by the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association, the club and NHL announced tonight. Center Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs and right wing Patrik Laine of the Winnipeg Jets are the other two finalists. Werenski, 19, led all rookie NHL defensemen in scoring with 11 goals and 36 assists for 47 points with 14 penalty minutes and a +17 plus/minus rating in 78 games this season. His point total also stood seventh in overall rookie scoring, was 13th among all NHL defensemen, set a franchise record for points by a rookie and was the second-highest total by a blueliner in club history (51-James Wisniewski, 2013-14). Historically, he tallied the sixth-most points by a teenage rookie defenseman in NHL history. Columbus’ first pick, eighth overall, in the 2015 NHL Draft, Werenski played two seasons at the University of Michigan from 2014-16 before joining the Lake Erie Monsters, the Blue Jackets’ American League affiliate, in April 2016. He tallied 5-9-14 in 17 playoff games, recording the most assists and points by an 18-year-old in the history of the Calder Cup Playoffs. He finished second among AHL defensemen in playoff scoring to help the Monsters capture the Calder Cup championship.
