Blues drop the puck in Sweden this afternoon

October 2, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

The NHL hockey season begins Friday afternoon for the St. Louis Blues across the Atlantic Ocean as the Blues play their first two games against the Detroit Red Wings in Stockholm, Sweden.  There are a couple of ways you can follow the game.

The first is online at the Blues’ website .  There are some great features and video on the Blues in Sweden.  The second, if you live in the St. Louis area, would be to head over the "Scott" and watch the game on their video boards.

Last year, Detroit won five of six against the Blues.  The biggest game for the Blues came late in the season on April 2 nd , when David Backes scored four goals.  Some even dispute he tipped in the Blues’ fifth goal as well in a 5-4 win. 

The excitement level in Stockholm has been huge.  Detroit may have a slight "home ice" advantage as the Wings boast five players from the host country including  Nicklas Lidstrom and Henrik Zetterberg.  However, the Blues have Patrik Berglund and Tomas Steen. 

There are a lot of high hopes for this Blues team this season after they had an unbelievable run in the second half of last season to come from the near bottom of the Western Conference to grab the sixth playoff spot.  They were quickly disposed of by the Vancouver Canucks in the first series.
