Christopher Li+FollowBlues Ax John Kelly—Cost-Cutting or Mistake?Can you believe it? After 20 years as the voice of the Blues, John Kelly is out, thanks to some so-called 'strategic realignment.' Now, Kerber and Vitale will call games for both TV and radio. Honestly, does a simulcast really work for hockey fans? It feels like a big loss for Blues Nation, especially with Kelly’s legendary calls gone. Is this just penny-pinching, or is there more to it? Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #IceHockey #StLouisBlues10Share
Jordan Leblanc+FollowBortuzzo’s Last Stand? Blues Legend Nears EndLooks like Bobby Bortz, one of the Blues’ Cup heroes from 2019, might be calling it a career after 14 seasons. The big man’s been a steady, physical presence on the blue line, but injuries and limited ice time in Utah have him facing retirement. If this is it, he leaves with 577 games, 76 points, and a Stanley Cup ring—proof that grit and heart matter as much as stats. Would you want Bortuzzo as your team’s seventh D, or is it time for him to hang ‘em up? #StLouisBlues #NHL #StanleyCup #Sports #IceHockey00Share
William Morrow+FollowSchenn’s Heartbreak: Blues Fall in OT ThrillerWow, what a gut-punch for the Note! Brayden Schenn—who knows all about Cup glory—didn’t sugarcoat it after the Blues’ wild Game 7 loss to the Jets. St. Louis was seconds from knocking out the Presidents’ Trophy winners, but Cole Perfetti tied it with just 1.6 left. Then, a double-OT deflection ended it. Binnington stood tall with 43 saves, but the Jets’ relentless attack finally broke through. Tough end for the boys, but you’ve got to respect Schenn’s honesty postgame. Anyone else still reeling from that finish? #StLouisBlues #NHLPlayoffs #Game7 #WinnipegJets #HockeyTalk #Sports90Share
Jordan Leblanc+FollowRemembering Phil Roberto: Habs & Blues LegendSad news for the hockey community—Phil Roberto, the gritty winger who lifted the Cup with the Habs in '71 and later became a fan favorite in St. Louis, has passed at 76. He was part of that legendary Montreal-Chicago rivalry, helping the Canadiens edge out the Blackhawks for the Cup. Roberto’s journey across six NHL teams and a stint in the WHA made him a true journeyman. Thoughts go out to his family and all who cheered for him. What’s your favorite Roberto memory? #Habs #StLouisBlues #NHLFamily #StanleyCup #HockeyLegends #Sports110Share
