GameBlog 3-30-10: Blues vs. Blackhawks
Yes, its been a while…and still stuck with time constraints. Here is a quick and dirty set of game thoughts. - How good is Alex Steen? I mean that in the sense that what is his real level of performance, but also rhetorically as to his play right now. Strong on his stick and skates,...
Patrik Berglund
Patrik Berglund has been an enigma at minimum this season. He hasn’t been the same player the Blues had hoped for with 47 points in 76 games last year as a rookie. He hasn’t found that level of consistency needed from a player in the NHL. Some attribute the early season consistency and subsequent hole...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Wild 3-14-10
It seems the Blues wanted to DOMINATE the Blue Jackets in Columbus on Saturday . . . while there were many spouts of violence toward the end of the game, no official fights were recorded. This leaves the Blues at 5th with 57 fights and a record of 23-18-16. The last time we saw the...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Blue Jackets 3-13-10
This will be a brief Throwdown Lowdown, because we’ve already covered the Columbus Blue Jackets three times (!) since the report began in January. Division rivalries make my job easy, but add nothing to the product sometimes. Plus, as anticipated, there were no fights between the Blues or the New York Islanders on Thursday night. ...

Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Islanders 3-11-10
Off-Topic to start: if you don’t know (chances are likely that you don’t), my favorite music band is 311. Today, March 11th, is a national holiday for us 311-heads. Yes, it’s 311 Day! They’re playing a huge live show in Las Vegas, which is being webcast worldwide. Since I know just about all of their...
GameBlog 03-06-10: Blues vs Avalanche
Colorado Avalanche vs. St. Louis Blues Pregame Since the Olympics ended the Blues are 2-0-0 following decisive wins in Phoenix and Dallas. In both games, the starting netminder for the opposition was chased. Tonight’s task against the Colorado Avalanche will be much more difficult. If the Blues want a chance to split the season series...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Avalanche 3-6-10
The Blues aren’t just beating people on the scoreboard, they’re punching people too. There were two fights on Thursday between the Blues and Dallas Stars – one featuring expected contestants and one featuring not-so-expected contestants. First, we had the long-awaited rematch between DJ King and Krys Barch. King broke his hand on Barch’s helmet in...
Gameblog 03-04-10: Blues vs. Stars
There was a pretty important game played down in Dallas last night. Abut 18 Blues skaters and a goalie showed up. Dallas had about 6 and no goalie. In what was the biggest game for Dallas to date, they failed (fail is the operative word here) to show up. Hence, the Blues win 6-1 down...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Stars 3-4-10
A glorious two points earned by the Blues in the desert brings our squad back toward the pack fighting for the 8th spot in the playoffs. Unfortunately, no official fights occurred (the scrum at the end of the 2nd period notwithstanding), so the Blues drop to 5th place while remaining at 54 fights on the...
