Two for Chirping

The Blues may have missed the playoffs, but they didn’t go quietly. St. Louis closes out the season with three huge wins and a surge of scoring, giving us plenty to be excited about heading into the offseason. We break down what clicked, who showed out, and what this momentum could mean moving forward. Then, it’s time to shift gears — playoff hockey is here. We run through our full bracket, share...

The Blues are officially eliminated from playoff contention. With three games still left to play, the final blow came from out west as the Kings’ win over the Oilers mathematically knocked St. Louis out of the race. A tough way for the season to end, especially with meaningful hockey still on the schedule. This week was a perfect snapshot of the season: a huge statement win against Colorado, follo...

Episode 1.26 and the Blues are still hanging in the playoff race… but it wasn’t the strongest week. After grabbing just 3 out of 6 possible points, we’re breaking down what’s missing. It starts with consistent scoring. The defense continues to hold steady and the goaltending is doing enough to keep them competitive, but without offensive production, it’s hard to feel confident down the stretch. An...

The Blues are heating up at exactly the right time. After going 4-1-1 in their last six games, St. Louis is playing some of their best hockey of the season and it’s the young guns leading the charge. We break down the recent stretch of big wins, the noticeable progression across the lineup, and why this team suddenly feels different. Snuggerud, Holloway, Broberg, and Mailloux are stepping up in a...

The Blues might finally be hitting their stride. St. Louis picked up 7 out of 8 possible points this week and looked like the most complete version of themselves we’ve seen all season. We break down the four-game stretch, why the Holloway–Thomas–Snuggerud line is clicking, and how the youth movement is driving the momentum. Then it’s time for some chirping. After a dirty hit ended Auston Matthews’...

The NHL trade deadline delivered plenty of drama in St. Louis. Rumors swirled around Colton Parayko leading up to the deadline, but he ultimately elected to stay with the Blues. Meanwhile, the team did make some big moves, dealing longtime veterans Brayden Schenn and Justin Faulk. We break down what those trades mean for the Blues now and in the future and how the rest of the league shook out on d...

The trade deadline rumors are swirling, and four St. Louis Blues names keep popping up. We break down what losing each of them would actually mean and what the deadline landscape looks like across the league. But instead of spiraling… we’re leaning optimistic. Between the emerging young core in St. Louis and the fresh wave happening with the St. Louis Cardinals, the next five years of STL sports m...

USA Hockey said play Free Bird… and we did. This week we’re celebrating a historic Olympic sweep as Team USA takes home gold in both the men’s and women’s tournaments. We break down the golden goal, the biggest moments, and what it means for the sport on both sides. We also spotlight the Blues players who represented their countries on the Olympic stage and what their performances could mean headi...

Three tight, competitive games gave us plenty to chew on this week, capped by a statement win as the Blues take down the Florida Panthers , the defending back-to-back Stanley Cup champions. We break down what’s working, what still needs tightening, and why this stretch felt like real progress but might not be enough in the Central division. We also dive into the league’s ongoing struggle with lett...

The Blues only walk away with one point this week, but the effort level never dipped. We break down a pair of hard-fought games, the compete level we liked, and why this felt more like a step forward than a setback. It wasn’t perfect — but it was honest hockey, and sometimes that matters just as much.

The St. Louis Blues had a week worth celebrating — two games, two wins, and a whole lot to like. We break down both victories, including a standout stretch from Joel Hofer , who got the nod in both games and absolutely delivered between the pipes. We also take time to celebrate the organization’s history as the newest class of the St. Louis Blues Hall of Fame was officially inducted this week. Fro...

The Blues came away without a win this week, dropping all three games. We walk through where things broke down on the ice, but also take a step back to look at the bigger picture. The organization locked in two important extensions, two Blues prospects earned hardware at the World Juniors, and the team continues to show a willingness to compete and stand up for one another. The results haven’t fol...

After a lighter stretch of games, the gals zoom out for a big-picture episode. We give a quick overview of recent Blues action before handing out midseason superlatives — from Most Improved and Coach’s Security Blanket to Shortest Leash , Why Is This Working , and our favorite Memeable Moment so far. We wrap things up by running through the announced Olympic rosters for Team USA, Canada, Sweden, a...

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...

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 final...

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 of...

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 e...

We're are back with our first real taste of the 2025-26 season! We break down the Blues’ opening three preseason games—what stood out, what needs work, and who’s making a case for roster spots. Plus, our brand-new segment Chirps of the Week makes its debut (one chirp each!), before we dive into broader Blues talk and wrap it all up with an around-the-league check-in. Preseason may not count i...
