Blues lead NHL in beefcakes, according to survey
The St. Louis Blues may not be experiencing much success on the ice this season, but they are a dashing bunch. Blues’ left winger Brendan Shanahan and defenseman Jeff Brown were both chosen by Hockey Digest magazine as two of the sexiest players in the NHL. The magazine came to the conclusion in an informal poll of five women. Shanahan couldn’t believe his teammate was chosen. “How could Jeff make the list?” Shanahan asked Bluelines. “He has only one eyebrow.” Others who made the list were Cam Neely of the Boston Bruins, Eric Lindros of the Philadelphia Flyers, Chris Chelios of the Chicago Blackhawks and Luc Robitaille of the Los Angeles Kings…Kings’ owner Bruce McNall hasn’t won a Stanley Cup with Wayne Gretzky and the prospects are slim he ever…
Hull talks serve as decoy during Joseph’s negotiations
The way St. Louis Blues’ goalie Curtis Joseph sees it. Brett Hull’s ability to create diversion on the ice extends off the ice as well. Joseph figures Hull created such a diversion in his contract talks with the Blues that Joseph got exactly what he wanted. “Maybe they had been doing Brett’s for so long that mine didn’t look like much and they said, Oh, yeah, sure, whatever you want,’” Joseph said, laughing.

He reached an agreement with Meehan on a three-year contract. Joseph’s contract is retroactive, beginning this season and running through 1994-95. Financial terms were not disclosed, but sources indicated the deal was worth a little less than $3…
Roberts’ lighter load helps him catch fire
Michigan Wolverines’ senior left winger David Roberts was nowhere to be found among the Central Collegiate Hockey Association’s scoring leaders earlier in the season. Now, you can’t miss him. Roberts had 25 points in a 10-game span, helping the Wolverines climb to within three points of the first-place Miami Redskins. The St. Louis Blues’ draft pick had 15 goals and 41 points in 26 games. He was tied for third in league scoring. “He wasn’t playing great (early in the year),” said Michigan coach Red Berenson. “1 thought he could bring it up a notch. Now, he has taken off. He’s one of the top players in the league.” Roberts credits his recent surge to being linked with center Mark Ouimet and right winger Dan Stiver. A lighter study load has also helped. “Last semester, I…
