Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Flames 1-25-10
The one fight that occurred between the Blues and Ducks on Saturday was similar to the Blues’ third period effort – pathetic. It was between Troy Bodie and Brad Winchester, and honestly it shouldn’t have been classified as a fight.. Bodie got a few shots in, Winchester got a few shots in, Bodie grabbed Winchester’s...
Recap 01-23-10: Blues vs Ducks
Just another night down at Scottrade. Apparently even the Ducks announcers commented on the Blues potential (and eventual) 3rd Period collapse. Is the word out around the NHL that this Blues team can’t close out a game and opponents come in to the 3rd Period expecting to come back? Not a good trend here Blues...

Throwdown Lowdown – Ducks @ Blues 1-23-10
You didn’t expect THAT picture to be attached to this article, did you? It’s OK. Ty Conklin is going to become a bigger cult hero than Chris Mason of the bearded days. But don’t mark my words on that yet. As expected, there was a fight in the Blues-Senators game on Thursday. And said fight...

Around the NHL : Peter Budaj Interview
This will be my first “Around the NHL” story on this blog, but I feel its a good one to post. Even though its unrelated to anything Blues hockey, any hockey fan should enjoy this read. Peter Budaj, a 27 year old goaltender born in Banska Bystrica, Slovkia, is the back-up goaltender for the Colorado...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Senators 1-21-10
Cam Janssen DID play in The Note’s exciting 4-3 overtime win over Les Habitants on Wednesday. There WAS a fight in the game . . . and while there was a scrum attributed to Janssen’s inability to get around Montreal goaltender Carey Price (in a situation that further illustrates how a legal check on a...
Recap 01-20-10: Blues vs Canadians
This game was a little troublesome and fun to watch at the same time. The Good: - Support and playing as a 5-man unit returned after a night off in Columbus Monday. - The passing was better than it was in Columbus. - The Backes Line was solid in all three zones and played well...
