Two Guys No Cup

The Blackhawks have hired Chicago Native Robert Prevost as their new head coach, while the Vatican has asked Jeff Blashill to become the next pope. Wait, no, I think I reversed that. Doesn't matter, neither one makes sense. It was a painful ending to the season for the Blues, but the guys are here to break it all down, and then laugh at the suffering of those less fortunate than us, just as Pope Blashill would want us to.

The Blues are searching for something in the distance. It's so close they can almost taste it. It's time to release our inhibitions and win a game in Winnipeg. Airport or not, Game 7, here we come!

Could 100 men beat one Silverback Gorilla? Could 100 Connor Hellebuycks save one NHL hockey puck? The world may never have an answer to either of these questions, but the guys are here to give their best hypotheses.

In this solo episode, Stephen takes aim at all the top stories in the NHL... from two days ago... Enjoy!

Doug Armstrong broke the rules! But nobody emailed HIM those rules! Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway are now Blues after an exciting offer sheet saga, and the guys have a lot MORE to talk about as well.

The Blues are doing things. But do those things make sense? We'll find out on this journey together.

It's been a while.... but we're back. Shoutout to Nicole.

It's wild times in the NHL, and the Blues are getting scrappy for a playoff spot. The guys cover it all and have your totally not-asked-for Wrestlemania Preview for you to enjoy!

The guys return to their annual tradition of ranking the NHL teams by how happy their fan bases should be: from the ones who just have or are just about to win Stanley Cups to those who have had Chuck Fletcher as GM.

All our Taylor Swift girlies, unite! It's time to step away from hockey, because there's no hockey to be discussed anyway, and dive deep into our feelings with a Taylor Swift tier list. It's not good. It's not definitive. But it IS content! And sometimes, that'll do ya.

The hockey world has given us NOTHING to talk about, so we'll make it up as we go along.

The St. Louis Blues have had an extremely quiet offseason so far. So... is that it?

The St. Louis Blues have finally made the 2G1C guys' dreams come true by drafting Dollar Bill (Dalobir) Dvorsky with the 10th overall pick. And how Swede the rest of the draft was, bringing in Otto Stenberg at 25 and Theo Lindstein at 29. But by drafting prospects instead of trading these picks, have the Blues set their timeline to compete back a bit? The guys will discuss in this draft episode.

The St. Louis Blues weigh a massive trade, but Torey Krug seems to have killed it for now. So where does this leave St. Louis 72 hours before the draft? The guys gather for their first official "bonus episode" in ages to discuss just that!

The St. Louis Blues season is over, Doug Armstrong might be on a bender, and a few of the NHL Playoff matchups are Super Effective.

The St. Louis Blues finally lost! Which is what they're SUPPOSED to do right now! But on Wrestlemania weekend, the guys' focus is elsewhere.

The St. Louis Blues are on winning streak, and it's TERRIBLE! So the guys calm their emotions with a little geography lesson.

The St. Louis Blues continue to struggle. We continue to suffer. But at least we've got cookies.

The St. Louis Blues have traded their captain, Ryan O'Reilly, to the Toronto Maple Leafs. It's a sad day. But it's also the start of the future.

The era of Vladimir Tarasenko in St. Louis is over. He's been traded to New York Rangers. In 644 career games with St. Louis, Tarsenko finished fifth all-time in goals scored with 262, as well as fifth in points with 553. He graced the cover NHL 17, was a two-time All-Star, notched a 40-goal season in 2015-16. Throughout it all, he was a consummate professional, devoting his time on and off the ice to the city and community he loved. No one will ever forget his heart-warming relationship with pediatric cancer patient Arianna Dougan, which brought more light to the scourge of pediatric cancer. Eventually, the organization "Spread Ari's Light" was formed in her honor (donation link included below) Vova realized his ultimate dream of bringing a Stanley Cup to St. Louis in the summer of 2019. Though the relationship may have soured since then, he is and remains a franchise legend and will receive nothing but love in this podcast. Once, in his article for The Player's Tribune, Vladdy wrote: "I came to St. Louis five years ago. I was a little scared. But here, I have found home. Thank you." Though St. Louis might no longer be his hockey home, here's hoping it remains his true home for a long time to come. Do Svidanya, Vladdy. All the best in New York.

On Groundhog Day, the guys ask the kitchen if they serve Deja Vu because the guys are certainly feeling it. Doug Armstrong is hurtling towards the trade deadline faster than Phil Conners towards a train on an all night bender, but Doug's guessing he's gonna swerve first. The guys look back on how the hell the Blues ended up where they now are, facing down the prospect of a total rebuild. Too late for flapjacks?

The St. Louis Blues continue their more-or-less .500 season with an embarrassing loss at home to the hapless Chicago Blackhawks. But they are far from the most embarrassing thing in the NHL this week...

The St. Louis Blues continue to be unpredictable as the injuries mount up. The guys talk about... things... I'm gonna be honest, it's almost 1:00 AM ET as I write this and I just got back from watching the Jaguars mount an all-time NFL comeback. I don't have the willpower to write catchy show notes. So if you read this, congratulations. I hope you enjoyed my suffering. Oh yeah, one last thing: DUUUUUUUUUVAAAAAAAAAALLL!!!!

This episode was recorded on Wednesday. It was posted on Saturday. Because one of the guys is an idiot. No telling who, but his name rhymes with even.

The Blues are improving, the holidays are here, what's there to be upset about?

The St. Louis Blues are woeful. Jordan Binnington is running his mouth. Christmas is coming, but it doesn't feel very holly or jolly for Gateway City Hockey Fans. Let's remember — we love each other and this team. Strap in, folks.
