BLUES RUMORS & GOSSIP

What do the Blues need to do between now and next season?

ST. LOUIS Those who yearned for the St. Louis Blues to reach a new milestone in the Stanley Cup Playoffs became convinced: Maybe this could be the year. Such optimism was snuffed by the same Los Angeles Kings that booted the Blues last year. This time, the defending Stanley Cup champion beat St. Louis 4-2 in the best-of-seven conference quarterfinals. In the wake, Blues fans have...

St. Louis Blues fan seen wearing crude shirt

This is a brutal picture in every sense of the word.  At least you can’t question this fan’s dedication but her attire is brutal.  From the shoes to the jean skirt to the awful shirt, all the way to the Vladimir Sobotka jersey.  The tattoos and the died hair certainly add to the winning combination though.  You stay classy, St. Louis.
