My blood runs Blue! I'm a born and raised St. Louisan. I've spent the last 8-9yrs in Minneapolis, MN (2019 as of posting this). I'm not just a crazed Blues fan, but a fan of all things hockey! My birthday is Oct. 3rd right when the season typically kicks off! You'll find me in my Blues Cave watching all things NHL, especially the Blues! I'm a hockey junkie. Just moved back home on July 26th, 2019. You'll be seeing me at games and at the practice facility. I have a keen eye for comings and goings of the NHL and love to speculate on the practical possibilities of the NHL. Praying the CBA goes well and there is no shutdown as I'll have to find something else to do over the winter......Ugh the thought is terrifying, but business is business and I'm for the players getting what they earn! Here's to a new chapter in my life and I hope to have a load of followers who not just enjoy my takes, but challenge them as well! I am a sucker for a good debate! Just a taste of what I have commented on in the past, "Mike Yeo being hired as the coach in waiting" I said the moment it was announced, and all my friends in MO and MN can validate, that that was the day the Blues were going to go south. Said when he takes over we'll come out like gang busters and get knocked out of the playoffs and fairly quickly from success we will watch the coach lose the team as no one in professional hockey, player wise, can understand what "system" Mike Yeo is trying to incorporate. Blues will become dysfunctional at best and it will be a painful few years. I don't need to say anything more about that.
