Two for Chirping

The injury bug is still hanging around St. Louis, but the Blues aren’t backing down. This week, we break down how new faces — from recent trades and AHL call-ups — are stepping up and making their presence felt on the ice.

We dig into standout performances, what this stretch says about the Blues’ depth, and how the team is grinding through adversity as the schedule lightens up. With just two games on the docket thanks to the holiday week, we also look ahead at what’s next and what the Blues need to carry forward.

All that, plus our latest thoughts from around the league, on this week’s episode of Two for Chirping.

This week had everything for the Blues — momentum swings, frustrating moments, and flashes of what this team can be. We dive into the ups and downs of the week before turning to the chaos around the league, highlighted by massive trades and Quinn Hughes joining the Central Division with Minnesota. The Central just got a whole lot tougher — especially for the Blues.

This week hurt—literally. The Blues dropped two tough ones and watched key players hit the injury list, but a hard-fought win in Ottawa brought a glimmer of hope. We break down the chaos, the compete level, Hofer’s stellar performance, and whether this can spark anything going into December.

Two wins in a row? Don’t mind if we do. The Blues finally give us something to celebrate, and then we immediately pivot into international chaos: our way-too-early Olympic roster picks for USA and Canada. Spoiler: we don’t agree on everything… shocker.

Episode 1.11 is here! After a week off in Toronto, we’re breaking down the Blues’ steady improvement and where the momentum is (finally) building. Alexa goes in on why dump-and-chase is NOT the play, while Alyssa tries to wrap her head around Toronto fans slandering Auston Matthews. Yes… really.

The rollercoaster continues! The Blues snapped their losing streak against a tough Edmonton team, looked rough versus Washington, then turned around with a shutout in Buffalo before falling to Seattle in OT. We break it all down — and get fired up about the NHL’s most confusing call: goalie interference.

Seven straight losses and counting. The Blues can’t seem to find their rhythm — not in front of the net, not in the crease, not anywhere. We’re breaking down what’s behind the skid: lack of shots, confidence issues, and a team that just can’t seem to hit reset.

Episode 1.8 of Two for Chirping dives into a big week for the St. Louis Blues — they finally grabbed their first home win against the Dallas Stars, but the consistency issues continue. We talk about Logan Mailloux being a healthy scratch and why fans need a reality check before overthinking it, the constant line shuffling, Jake Neighbours getting his shot on the top line, and Jimmy Snuggerud finally getting on the scoresheet. Plus, our Chirps of the Week and a spin around the league.

The Blues laid an egg on opening night — and fans let them hear it. We break down the tough start, the booing at Enterprise (and why we’re not fans of that), and the bounce-back win in Calgary led by Jake Neighbours and a stellar performance from Joel Hofer.
Then we go around the league: Connor McDavid’s McDeal of the Century, Brent Burns hitting 1,500 games, the Sid-Letang-Malkin trio kicking off their 20th season, and a totally unserious debate about the best goal horns in the NHL.

The Blues’ preseason slate is in the books, and your favorite gals from the Lou are breaking down the final three games — who impressed, who’s on the bubble, and what we think about Milan Lucic’s PTO. Plus, two fresh Chirps of the Week: Alexa takes aim at ESPN for that cringe MLB Playoff ad read and Alyssa chirps Ottawa for hanging their goalie out to dry vs the Blues. We wrap it all up with the energy of a team ready for opening night.
