Last Minute Blues Podcast

This Blues season is officially underway. It’s only three games into the season, but the Blues’ frustrating loss to the Chicago Blackhawks brought back some familiar concerns.

Plus, the guys discuss Jim Montgomery’s lineup decisions, the Blues’ defensive pairings, and what’s missing from the fourth line. They also dive into your emails in the Cantor Injury Inbox, including a discussion about the Blues’ goaltenders handling the puck and some potential songs for this season’s intro video.
