- The 2009–10 St. Louis Blues season was the team's 43rd season in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Blues fired Andy Murray as head coach on January 2, 2010, after a below expectation record (17–17–6, 40 points), sitting in 12th place in the Western Conference. Especially galling were the frequent blown leads after two periods, and with the poorest home record (6–13–3, including one win in Sweden) in the NHL. Davis Payne was named the Blues' interim head coach, the 23rd head coach in the Blues' history. Payne was previously head coach of the Blues' top minor league affiliate, the Peoria Rivermen of the American Hockey League (AHL). After the season, Payne was named as Head Coach, removing the interim tag. On January 18, 2010, the Blues hired goaltending consultant Tyler Love. Keith Tkachuk announced his retirement from professional hockey on April 7, 2010, three days before the final game of the season, April 10, which he declined to play. The Blues saluted him in a tribute after the last home game, his final game ever in the NHL on April 9. (en)
