Posted: January 8, 2011 at 8:02 am   /   Local, Sports, St. Louis Blues

Okay, technically the Blues have played 39 games so far, so it’s not midpoint. Leave me alone; I’m temporarily brain-damaged [more on that later]. But it’s close enough. Thus far, the Blues sit in ninth place with a 20-13-6 record and 46 points, but they also have played four fewer games than the eighth-place team. […]

None of the big teams won a championship, few players had standout years, and many of the teams in general were disappointing given pre-season expectations. Still, there were moments to remember. I’ll look back on the year in general for local sports […]
