It's been a few month but I'm back to posting on the good old Blues blog.
So much has happened since the firing of Davis Payne and the hiring of Ken Hitchcock as head coach.
The Blues started gaining chemistry from each other and playing as a defensive unit.
The powerplay really hasn't improved much but it seems to be getting a little bit better every game.
The biggest surprise by far has been Brian Elliott. His play allowed the Blues to salvage a poor October and go into the rest with a force behind them in net.
Jaroslav Halak has especially benefited from him as he has improved his overall goals against and save percentage to one of the best in the league.
Speaking of Elliott, if you missed it the Blues just re-signed the 26 year old net minder to a very budget friendly 3.8 million dollar deal over the next 2 years.
This opens up a very interesting situation in net going forward.
Not only do the Blues have two stellar NHL goalies in Halak and Elliott, but they also have two top goalie prospects in Bishop and Allen in Peoria. Could they be thinking about trading one of these two in order to bring in a goal scorer for the snakebitten offense?
I know I for one am on board with that idea.
More to come.
