This season "the Red Baron," as the St. Louis followers have dubbed the 6 ft., 190 lb. center, is still going strong and, as a result, so are the Blues. They are a runaway leader in the West Division; to their ever expanding pride, their 18-11-10 record includes a respectable 5 wins, 9 losses and 6 ties against the veterans...
