November 29, 2025·21 min·1 clip

The Blues finally win a game when trailing after two periods, with Matt Kessel scoring the decisive goal.

This episode is a post-game analysis of the St. Louis Blues' 4-3 victory over the Ottawa Senators, hosted by team broadcaster Chris Kerber. Analyst Joe Vitale and reporter Jordan Deacon contribute breakdowns and player interviews. The show is presented by Blue Note Roofing and Bellman Automotive. The Blues won the first game of a three-game homestand against playoff-positioned teams after entering the third period trailing. Matt Kessel scored the game-winning goal, while Jordan Binnington made critical saves in the final ten minutes. Pavel Buchnevich scored his first even-strength goal of the season, and Oskar Sundqvist opened the scoring with a clever wraparound. The Blues had ten different forwards record a point in the game. Ottawa's Shane Pinto scored his 12th goal of the year to tie the game 1-1. The Senators nearly took first place in their division with a win, showcasing a physical, together identity. A surprising theme was Sundqvist driving Buchnevich to the arena, a superstition now linked to three consecutive games with a Buchnevich goal. Coach Jim Montgomery called the team's third-period performance their most desperate of the year, highlighting improved offensive-zone support and connectivity. Analyst Joe Vitale noted the Blues' top six forwards finally delivered in the third period after the team was held to two or fewer goals in the previous six games. Montgomery emphasized that the victory stemmed from selfless, team-wide play rather than individual efforts. The episode's tone is energetic and celebratory, blending professional play-by-play highlights with candid locker room reactions. The style is conversational and insider-focused, directly addressing Blues fans with deep analysis. Die-hard St. Louis Blues fans seeking immediate game reaction and locker room soundbites will love this episode. Listeners with no interest in hockey or the NHL's regular-season narratives might skip it.
