“The Other 31” summer series rolls along with our second Central Division team – the St. Louis Blues – and this one is extra special, because we have our old friend Matt DeFranks, Blues beat writer for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, on for the full hour! Prior to his time in St. Louis, Matt was the Stars beat writer for the Dallas Morning News and still has lots of friends from the Stars beat, including us. We will discuss the coaching changes with both teams, as Blues general manager Doug Armstrong quickly fired head coach Drew Bannister mid-season and hired Jim Montgomery to a five-year contract just days after Montgomery was dismissed by the Boston Bruins. Plus, Monty was mere seconds away from leading his team to a second round playoff match up against the Stars, and so much more!
