  • Blues Fall 4–2 in Vegas as Broberg Is Extended — Then Injured | Blues Central Postgame

    Blues Fall 4–2 in Vegas as Broberg Is Extended — Then Injured | Blues Central Postgame
    Jan 11 2026
    The St. Louis Blues dropped a frustrating 4–2 decision to the Vegas Golden Knights in a late-night road loss that managed to deliver both hope and heartbreak. The night began with positive momentum as the Blues officially locked up defenseman Philip Broberg on a six-year, $48 million extension — only for that excitement to be quickly undercut when Broberg left the game early with an injury following a hard collision with Mark Stone Despite battling hard in the physical categories — winning the hit count, faceoffs, and blocked shots — the Blues struggled to generate consistent offense, finishing with just 19 shots on goal. Vegas capitalized on their star power, getting goals from key contributors like Shea Theodore and Mark Stone, while the Blues failed to get enough production from their top offensive players. Robert Thomas and Broberg accounted for St. Louis’ scoring, but the team’s lack of sustained pressure proved costly The episode also dove deep into what Broberg’s extension means for the future of the franchise. At just 24 years old, Broberg has quickly emerged as the Blues’ de facto No. 1 defenseman, logging heavy minutes and becoming a cornerstone of Doug Armstrong’s long-term vision. The panel praised the structure of the deal, noting how its front-loaded design and eventual modified no-trade clauses give both Broberg and the Blues long-term flexibility as the salary cap rises Beyond the box score, the show addressed growing concerns about effort, offensive execution, and team chemistry. While the Blues remain mathematically in the playoff race, the hosts questioned whether the on-ice product matches that optimism, pointing to stagnant power-play structure, limited shot volume, and inconsistent performances from the club’s highest-paid forwards. With another tough matchup looming against the Carolina Hurricanes, the episode closed by challenging the Blues to find urgency, simplify their offensive approach, and rediscover the identity that made them competitive down the stretch last season. Fans were encouraged to weigh in on Broberg’s future, the direction of the team, and what changes must happen next for St. Louis to turn frustration into progress. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Special Teams Continue to Struggle, Blues Lose to Mammoth 4-2 | Blues Central Postgame

    Special Teams Continue to Struggle, Blues Lose to Mammoth 4-2 | Blues Central Postgame
    Jan 10 2026
    The St. Louis Blues dropped another frustrating game on the road, falling 4–2 to the Utah Mammoth in a performance that once again exposed their biggest season-long issue: special teams. The Blues went 0-for-4 on the power play, extending a brutal drought that has now reached over fifteen consecutive failed opportunities — a recurring problem that continues to cost them games Despite showing some fight and flashes of pushback — including early physical play, Braden Schenn sticking up for rookie Jimmy Snuggerud, and a brief comeback attempt — the Blues could not overcome sloppy defense, missed chances from the top six, and defensive breakdowns against familiar foes Clayton Keller and Nick Schmaltz, who once again torched St. Louis offensively A scary moment came when Robert Thomas was knocked violently to the ice, landing on his head after his feet were taken out from under him. Though he returned to finish the game, concern remains about his health moving forward — especially given how crucial he is to the Blues’ offense In net, Joel Hofer surrendered four goals, some on awkward bounces and others that likely should have been stopped. While not all of the blame fell on Hofer, the defensive play in front of him continued to be a major problem, reinforcing the idea that the team’s structure — not just goaltending — is failing to support wins The episode also touched on growing frustration among fans and analysts over the lack of lineup changes, power-play adjustments, and urgency from management, with trade rumors beginning to swirl around key veterans as the Blues continue to slide further behind the rest of the NHL. St. Louis now looks ahead to a back-to-back matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights, hoping to replicate a previous win — but major questions remain about whether the Blues can fix their special teams, defensive lapses, and overall execution before the season slips completely out of reach.

    Blues Get Crushed by the Blackhawks AGAIN | Ft. Robert Thomas, Jim Montgomery + More
    Jan 8 2026
    The St. Louis Blues suffered a brutal 7–3 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks in a game that quickly unraveled due to poor special teams and defensive breakdowns. Despite early momentum and a first-period goal, the Blues went 0-for-5 on the power play while Chicago capitalized on three of four chances, turning the game into a lopsided affair. The lone bright spot of the night was rookie Otto Stenberg, who scored his first NHL goal with a crafty takeaway and finish, while Nathan Walker also found the net in his return to the lineup. Postgame reactions reflected frustration and disappointment, with Robert Thomas, Otto Stenberg, and head coach Jim Montgomery all pointing to net-front presence and special teams as major issues. Montgomery stressed that Jordan Binnington isn’t the problem, noting breakdowns in coverage and screens in front of the net. The episode also featured live locker room interviews from Luke Slabaugh in Chicago and a passionate breakdown of the team’s ongoing struggles, raising tough questions about urgency, confidence, and whether the Blues need significant changes moving forward as they head into a difficult back-to-back road set in Utah and Vegas.
