Lighting the Lamp with Rick Ackerman
Christmas is over now and fans of the St. Louis Blues are hoping their team doesn't hand out too many more generous gifts like they just did earlier this week to the Philadelphia Flyers. Of course, the Blues, led by Jake Allen, compensated for that give-away by gifting Blues Nation with an improbable 2-0 road win over Boston the following night, enabling St. Louis to remain ahead of both Chicago and Minnesota in the Central Division. It has certainly been a strange December for the up-and-down roller coaster Blues, who are currently a mediocre 6-5-1 for the month and a pedestrian 4-4-0 at home.
