On this edition of The Kilcoyne Opinion, we pose a simple riddle: when is a one-man advantage really a disadvantage? Answer: when it's the Blues' power play.

If you're a Blues fan, you're probably nervous. Well, this time of year, you're probably always nervous.  Cardinal fans you might be a little antsy with your team as well. TKO (The Kilcoyne Opinion) shows you some other sights and sounds that may provide a diversion.

It was only the second round but it was also a win for the ages. It was the NHL but St. Louis talent was front and center. Pat Maroon and Ben Bishop the central figures in the Blues dramatic Game 7 win over the Stars. It sounds simplistic but maybe a playoff run can bring everyone together. Maybe even the city and county.

The Blues franchise has been around for more than half a century but Tuesday's Game 7 with Dallas will be just the 7th time the Blues have hosted a Game 7.  We love to hype games like this, but maybe we don't need to.

The Blues had several surprises in their Game 6 win over Dallas.  The great pass by Oskar Sundquist, and not only Sammy Blais in the lineup, but in the stat sheet. TKO (The Kilcoyne Opinion) takes a closer look at how it all came together.

It made for a good narrative. The Blues rookie goalie who famously asked this season, "do I look nervous?" had seemingly lost his composure in the Blues' Game 4 loss to the Dallas Stars. It's just that TKO doesn't agree.

Hockey's infamous trophy was in St. Louis on Wednesday.  Lord Stanley's Cup was brought to town as part of some marketing tour with the NHL. The question is, will it be back later this summer?

Blues Coach Craig Berube may still be wearing the interim tag but he's clearly in charge. And if a lineup change may not be popular with the players, he doesn't care. I think you can tell he's not looking for feedback.

The Cardinals announced that Alex Reyes has a broken pinky on his left finger. It happened when he hit a wall after a start for Triple A Memphis. It's the latest setback for a player continually dubbed as the Cardinals top prospect.

I’m not real smart but scheduling one playoff game at 6 p.m. and then the next one at 8:40 p.m. on the same channel? I’m not sure that’ll work most nights.
