Fight Card – I Drink Your Milkshake. I Drink It Up!
FULL DISCLOSURE: After this game concluded, I watched There Will Be Blood, hence what’s basically the final relevant line of the movie as your title. I apologize for nothing. So yeah, that was quite the Game 2 between the St. Louis Blues and San Jose Sharks, wasn’t it? And to add to it, there were...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues-Sharks Western Conference Quarterfinals
I guess that will count as a strong finish. The St. Louis Blues took advantage of the mistakes given to them by the Dallas Stars after licking their wounds from Friday night’s beating, taking the battle to the Stars and taking home a 3-2 victory to bring the team into some kind of a momentum...
The Donut Corner – Assuaging Blues Playoff Concerns
The playoffs officially begin tonight, and while the St. Louis Blues do not start their playoff schedule until tomorrow (as the Western Conference’s number two seed, facing the West’s seventh-seeded San Jose Sharks), the thickness of this anticipation would need a steak knife to cut through. There is a bit of trepidation in this next...
Unscientific 2012 First Round Predictions
The Stanley Cup Playoffs have returned, and for the first time since 2009, our Blues are in the dance. Here are my predictions for the Eastern and Western Conference Quarterfinals . . . keeping in mind that it’s very unscientific and has a lot to do with gut feelings:
Fight Card – A Final Weekend Triage
To end the 2011-2012 regular season, we saw our St. Louis Blues slug it out three times in the final two games . . . twice on Friday with the Phoenix Coyotes and once in a hilarious overmatch with the Dallas Stars. The final tally of those three fights . . . a win, a...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Stars, 04-07-12
Not good. In a possible playoff preview, the Phoenix Coyotes took the fight to the St. Louis Blues, winning a 4-1 decision. There were two fights in the game . . . one between Rostislav Klesla and Chris Stewart that appeared to be a draw, another between Raffi Torres and Matt D’Agostini that Torres appeared...
Throwdown Lowdown – Coyotes @ Blues, 04-06-12
Well that was fun while it lasted, but very unsavory. The St. Louis Blues took late control, but then quickly lost it and had to end up settling for a 3-2 shootout loss to the despised Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday night. What makes it worse is that, as expected, there were no fights in...
Throwdown Lowdown – Red Wings @ Blues, 04-04-12
Backing into the division title? Yeah, that happened, but that shouldn’t diminish what the St. Louis Blues have accomplished all season. What SHOULD diminish things a bit is what exactly happened in their home game with the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday, looking a bit out-of-sorts in a 5-2 loss to the worst team in...
The Donut Corner – Team Health and Team Chemistry
St. Louis Blues head coach Ken Hitchcock is in one of the most envied positions in the National Hockey League . . . the head engineer of the team no one thought would be as good as it is, with every player on the current roster available to him because no one is on Injured...
Fight Card – Boll vs. Nichol, 03-31-12
Yeah, that game last night sucked, but at least Scott Nichol and Jared Boll had a fight I can talk to you folks about, even if the fight was horrible.
