Chris Hoehne and Joe Gilbert
From the Point is a podcast dedicated to the St. Louis Blues, but from a fan perspective. Two friends team up to talk hockey and invite close friends and discuss what it means to bleed Blue. We will discuss the past, present, and future and dive into how we became the team we are today.

We really appreciate all of the love and support throughout our podcasting purgatory, but we're not going away! Stay tuned for Episode 25, as this epic one has been a long time in the making. THE BOYS ARE BACK!!!!

Before we return with all new content, it would only be fitting to drop the only other episode that was recorded in 2023. This was a continuation of our Rivalries series (which we will continue in a different format), highlighting and lowlighting the moments in Blues franchise history versus the Colorado Avalanche.
We recorded this in tandem with our brothers in podcasting, Matt and Steven Webster, from The Radkast. In fact, this was actually recorded in the same afternoon as their second part feature of 90s hockey, which we were guests on. Check out Episode 127 of the Radkast to hear that feature (and maybe even some references we did here). It was an epic recording, complete with stuffed crust Pizza Hut pizza.
From the Point has a shiny new episode almost ready to drop. Thank you all for your patience and continued support. We’re back, so stay tuned for a shiny new episode soon! LET’S GO BLUES!!!

2023 was a kick in the teeth for us. We almost shut this thing down, but your unwavering support and a surprise amount of downloads gave us some inspiration to return, albeit reimagined, with new content. The Blues are in a very promising spot next season, so we think it would only be appropriate to be along for the ride and deliver you all new episodes.
Thank you all for your patience, love and support. Stay tuned for an unreleased episode as a showing of our gratitude. Let’s Go Blues!

Join your co-hosts Chris and Joe as we do a bit of a deep dive into one of, if not THE biggest rivalries to ever grace St. Louis hockey, and that is the rivalry to the Chicago Blackhawks. We hear from our Chief Content Purr-ator, get audibly ill, share some laughs, and dive into some heavy stuff in this one so buckle up, you're in for one heck of a ride!

WE'LL DO IT LIVE!!! Tech support issues, chonky feline supervision and your fearless hosts recording together in the studio? What more could you ask for to start "Season 2" of From The Point and also the 2022-2023 Blues regular season. Chris and Joe run down our takes on the offseason, assessment of the Blue Note roster and hopefully somewhat accurate predictions of how this NHL season will play out. We hope you enjoy and are looking forward to giving you some different looks and new content throughout the season!
(Special Thanks to Steven Webster from The Radkast in assisting us get our audio setup exactly how we wanted it. Check out their podcast. Hint: We may be on a few of their episodes!)
FINALLY! The Blues would end this rebuild era in the 2011-12 season with a return to the playoffs, a new coach, a new captain and a steal of a goaltender who would help the team win the Jennings trophy in 2012. However, they had to endure the House of Payne the season prior along with some major shakeups. Chris joins Joe to conclude this Summer project and connect the dots of how this era did eventually lead to Lord Stanley.
Thank you all once again for listening to this installment! Now it's on to the fun, creative content featuring the both of us in the upcoming season of From the Point!
WARNING: This podcast features some rather explicit content, so be forewarned. Hockey is not a prim and proper sport!
WE'RE BACK!!! The art of enforcing the game of hockey has evolved ever since Joe and Chris started their fandoms. Your fearless hosts take the time in this episode discussing everything related to enforcers, pests and blue collar players to don the 'Note.
Like a subpar sequel to a legendary album by (insert artist here), the 2009-10 season produced nothing but disappointment for the St. Louis Blues. No, the Rebuild Years were not over in fact. However, with a few new voices, two pivotal trades and the selection of two cornerstone players gave this team hope in light of a frustrated and impatient fanbase. Joe dissects the failed follow up to the 2008-09 season.
You Better Watch Out!! The Blues had a plethora of heroics and triumphs in the 2008-09 season. While they would meet a sudden end into chasing Lord Stanley, hope was abound that the rebuild era was coming to some sort of conclusion. This was evidence that the franchise would do WHATEVER IT TAKES to get back into respectability. Joe goes over all the highlights in this epic episode!
The 2007-08 produced a glutton of goals from a recent acquisition, new threads, a mighty signing, a hometown enforcer, a Top 5 pick, and a new but controversial captain. While not a winning season, Joe will discuss some of the ways that this season would affect the rebuild as it did leave its mark on the Blues franchise.
A New York businessman, a former Blues goalie turned executive and new bench boss signaled a regime change for the Blues organization in the 06-07 season. Mix that in with some wheeling and dealing for draft capital and you get the second stage of the Rebuild Years.
Joe's made a couple of changes to the lines on this episode. Joining Joe is Matt and Steven Webster from the Radkast. The 2021-22 Season ended in a bit of disappointment as the Avs routed the Blues four games to two and marched to the Stanley Cup Final to claim their title. We'll discuss the abrupt ending to the playoffs, the controversy surrounding "That Hit" and the acquisitions and departures (so far) of the Free Agency period.
The St. Louis Blues have had continued success in just about the last decade. However, the story really starts in the mid-2000s. Coincidentally coinciding with one of the darkest periods in NHL history, the rebuild with the Blues started in the 2004-05 lockout season and would continue all the way until the start of 2011-2012.
Joe is your sole host for this special series of a rags to eventual riches era. From frustrating seasons void of any chance of a Cup run to the bevy of draft capital, climbs and stumbles and an eventual coming of age, there may not ever be another more intriguing story than the one of the rebuild era.
Joe is flying solo for this one to analyze the failed 1st overall pick in 2006, Erik Johnson. He just won a Cup with the Colorado Avalanche, but the Blues also eventually benefitted from picking him, but not in the way they would imagine.
After an extended break, join your favorite Blues fans Joe and Chris as we discuss the man, the legend, and even the super hero, Hall of Famer Brett Hull! He may have been number 16 in your programs but for many, he's number one in your hearts. Don't forget, if you have been following us since the beginning or just finding us now, make sure to follow us on our social medias and as always, thanks for listening. Enjoy!
