Recorded during our drive from Utah to Vegas, this road-trip episode turns into a wide-ranging hockey conversation. We dive into the current state of the St. Louis Blues, reflect on our favorite Blues moments over the years, and talk through what this team feels like right now as fans.

We also branch out into NHL talk, fan culture in new markets, and even some classic St. Louis sports discussion — all unscripted, all on the road. A laid-back, honest conversation that feels exactly like a long drive with hockey on your mind.

The Blues are 2–0 to start 2026, but the bigger question is how they’re getting there.

Strong goaltending, heavy minutes from the top of the lineup, and timely goals have carried them early, while familiar issues — turnovers, second-period lapses, and thin margins — still linger beneath the surface. Using recent performances from Robert Thomas and Pavel Buchnevich, we zoom out to evaluate what’s sustainable, what’s fragile, and what this start might actually tell us about the Blues moving forward.

It’s a Christmas Eve edition of the pod as we sort out whether the Blues belong on the Naughty or Nice list. From frustrating slow starts and special-teams struggles to Joel Hofer’s shutouts and Justin Faulk’s career-year resurgence, we debate which version of this team is real. We break down the Blues’ identity crisis, hand out Christmas gifts to the biggest risers, and ask the ultimate holiday question: are these wins signs of a playoff-style team—or just wrapping paper over bigger issues?

This week felt like a snapshot of the entire Blues season. One-goal wins, lopsided losses, and a team that struggles to control games even when it scores first. We break down what went wrong in Nashville, what went right against Chicago, and why this roster’s lack of margin for error keeps showing up when adversity hits. Plus, Robert Thomas continues to heat up, depth players are being asked to do more than ever, and the goal differential stat that explains everything finally comes into focus.

We break down a wild week featuring a Ducks collapse, a Bruins letdown, Hofer’s monster night in Ottawa, and a gutsy win in Montreal. Injuries, goalie drama, special teams chaos — and the same big question: why does this team only show up in Canada?

The Blues are officially on autopilot. After another stretch of blown leads, flat second periods, and lifeless responses, St. Louis is spiraling into a full-on identity crisis. In this episode, we break down the Calgary, Philadelphia, and Vegas games, dig into the alarming trends behind the numbers, and explain why the Blues’ issues go far deeper than bad luck or a bad week. From structural breakdowns and special teams disasters to leadership questions and a roster that can’t find its spark, we ask the big question: what is actually wrong with the St. Louis Blues?
