March 16, 2025St Louis Blues defeat Minnesota Wild; Jordan Kyrou with a Hat Trick
Here’s a recap of the latest Blues Hub Postgame podcast hosted by Jacob Stanoch and Mike Meyer:
Recap of the St. Louis Blues' 3-1 Victory Over the Minnesota Wild
Jacob and Mike broke down what they called one of the Blues’ most dominant performances of the season, securing a crucial win against a team they had yet to defeat. The victory was significant as it kept the Blues in the heated wildcard race.
Key Takeaways from the Game
Jordan Kyrou’s Hat Trick: Kyrou was the standout performer, netting three goals, including a wraparound goal, a close-range cleanup, and an empty-netter. This marked his fifth career hat trick, and both hosts emphasized how Kyrou is evolving into a more complete player.
Defensive Strength Without Pareko: Despite missing Colton Pareko, the Blues’ defensive core held strong, thanks to key performances from veterans like Cam Fowler, Nick Leddy, and Justin Faulk. The team's ability to limit mistakes and maintain defensive pressure was a major factor in the win.
Brayden Schenn’s Impact: Schenn set the tone with an early net-front goal, continuing his leadership both offensively and defensively.
Strong Fourth Line Play: The physicality and grinding style of the fourth line (Toropchenko, Walker, and Faksa) played a crucial role in keeping the Wild at bay while also creating scoring opportunities.
Statistical Highlights
The Blues outshot the Wild 27-18 and dominated faceoffs with a 60.8% win rate.
The Blues’ defensive discipline shined, allowing only five shots against in the third period.
The Wild edged the Blues in physicality (19 hits to 17), but the Blues' forechecking and positioning minimized high-danger chances.
Looking Ahead
The Blues now shift focus to their next game against the Anaheim Ducks, which will feature a special ceremony honoring Brayden Schenn’s 1,000th career game.
Goaltending decisions remain a discussion point, as Joel Hofer played a solid game, but Mike believes the team may return to Jordan Binnington for the upcoming matchup.
The hosts also touched on the wildcard race, noting Vancouver’s win over Chicago, which impacts the standings.
Overall, the episode provided an in-depth analysis of the game, highlighted standout performances, and set the stage for the Blues’ upcoming challenges.

March 10, 2025Blues Hub Weekly w/ Jamal Mayers: Post Trade Deadline and West Coast Swing
Trade Deadline & Team Outlook
The Blues finished their West Coast trip with a 2-1 OT loss to the Kings but remain just one point out of a wildcard spot.
Despite trade speculation, GM Doug Armstrong chose not to make any moves at the deadline, signaling confidence in the current roster.
Braden Schenn was a trade target, notably for the Toronto Maple Leafs, but opted to stay in St. Louis, citing loyalty to the team and his captaincy.
Injuries played a role in the decision-making, particularly Colton Pareko’s knee injury, which will sideline him for the regular season.
Trade Deadline Winners & Losers
Mayers highlighted Dallas and Colorado as the biggest winners at the deadline.
The Stars' addition of Rantanen strengthens their playoff push, while the Avalanche bolstered their depth down the middle with key acquisitions.
Blues’ Playoff Push & Key Players
The Blues need to maintain a “win two out of every three” mindset to stay competitive.
Jordan Binnington was named the player of the week for his strong performances in net.
Key players like Pavel Buchnevich, Robert Thomas, Jordan Kyrou, and Schenn need to step up offensively.
Pareko’s absence will require increased contributions from defensemen like Justin Faulk and Nick Leddy.
Prospect Updates
AHL affiliate Springfield Thunderbirds are surging, with goaltenders Colton Ellis and Vadim Zarenko leading the way.
Ellis recently signed a two-year extension with the Blues.
Defenseman Will McIsaac, a 2024 draft pick, is excelling in the WHL with a standout plus-43 rating.
Jimmy Snuggerud and the Minnesota Golden Gophers suffered a Big Ten Tournament loss but await their NCAA tournament assignment.
Looking Ahead
The Blues face the Penguins, Wild, and Ducks this week in crucial games for their playoff hopes.
Mayers emphasized the need to “take care of business” and not look too far ahead.
Fan Q&A & Final Thoughts
Fans expressed concerns over the team’s scoring struggles and whether retaining players like David Perron or Vladimir Tarasenko would have helped.
Mayers noted that younger players are stepping into key roles and that veterans on expiring deals often move on to make room for them.
Projected points needed for a playoff spot: likely around 96.
The hosts encouraged fans to join the upcoming Blues Hub Watch Party on Thursday, featuring Mayers, Andy Strickland, and Cam Jansen.

March 09, 2025Blues Fall in OT but Earn a Point vs. Kings
Ethan Hannaford and Mike Meyer broke down the Blues' 2-1 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Kings, highlighting the resilience of the team despite key absences.
Key Takeaways:
Overcoming Adversity: The Blues played without key defensemen Colton Pareko and Cam Fowler, yet managed to battle their way to a crucial point.
Defensive Commitment: The team blocked 23 shots, showcasing their willingness to sacrifice for a win.
Joel Hofer’s Strong Finish: After a shaky start, the young goalie turned in a solid performance, making several clutch saves in the latter half of the game.
Offensive Struggles: Despite a strong defensive showing, the Blues lacked sustained offensive pressure and failed to capitalize on early power-play opportunities.
Overtime Mistake: A costly turnover in OT led to Quinton Byfield’s game-winning goal for LA.
Standings & Playoff Push:
The Blues remain in the mix for a wildcard spot but face an uphill battle with teams like Vancouver and Calgary having games in hand.
They need to take advantage of a relatively easier remaining schedule to stay in the hunt.
Trade Deadline Analysis:
The Blues stayed quiet at the deadline, opting to keep their current roster intact.
Meyer noted that GM Doug Armstrong remains committed to making the playoffs rather than making drastic moves.
Looking Ahead:
The Blues have a four-day break before facing the Pittsburgh Penguins on March 13.
With key players returning and a favorable schedule, this stretch will be critical in their playoff push.
Overall, the hosts were impressed with the team's resilience but acknowledged that every point matters as they push for a postseason berth.
